In August 2021 the Aircraft was in the possession of the Afghan Military when it fell to the Taliban. While the U.S. and allied forces conducted ad-hoc demilitarization efforts by clogging fuel lines, removing, or destroying high tech equipment, and physically damaging cockpits and avionics it appears at least 6 UH-60s are once again flyable, for how long is hard to tell.
