Lasers are helping the Afghan Air Force strike the Taliban
By: Daniel Cebul   1 day ago

WASHINGTON ― The Afghan Air Force has introduced laser-guided precision munitions to its arsenal.

Since the May 22 induction, the number of laser-guided bombs has steadily increased as Afghan forces continue to target the Taliban in southern Afghanistan.

“The recent addition of laser-guided bomb strike capability is huge for the Afghan Air Force,” said Lt. Col. Justin Williams, 438th Air Expeditionary Advisor Squadron commander. “Afghanistan did not have it last fighting season, and we are already seeing the crippling psychological effect it is having on the enemies of Afghanistan this season.”
