NOTE: Due to the American withdrawal of Afghanistan in August of 2021, and the subsequent takeover of the country by Taliban forces, the following values on this page can no longer be considered accurate.
The following represents an overview of the modern aerial fighting capabilities of the Afghan Air Force (2024). The service currently counts 17 total units in its active aircraft inventory. The WDMMA review takes into account specific categories of aircraft covering attack, logistics, special-mission, and general support types. Inventory numbers and related aircraft types / variants are provided as-is and derived from publically-available information / sources. "Outlook" results are related to any future airframes currently under procurement though said airframes may not be delivered for service in the current year for various reasons. "Readiness Rates" are based on the published USAF standard. Due to discrepancies regarding UAV reporting between countries and sources, unmanned vehicles are currently not tracked by WDMMA.
