August 2021 81-23592 UH-60A+ Flag Afghan Air Force

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.
