WASHINGTON: Biden Administration on Sundays Momanti 18 aircraft from six commercial airleasers for AirLift National and American allies from Afghanistan amid non-stop crises in Kabul where the Taliban continued to pose with evacuation efforts.
Orders for aircraft needs come from the Department of Defense, which requested the provisions of Fleet Civil Reservoir (CRAF) created after World War II to access “commercial air mobility resources.” The program, arising from Berlin AirLift, involves promises by private airlines to lend aircraft to the Pentagon within 24 hours after activation.
Commercial aircraft will not fly to Kabul Airport but instead used “for the next movement of safe havens.
And temporary staging bases,” said Pentagon in a statement, showing that they would get used to air refugees from pit stops in the Gulf countries.
The aircraft requested included three of each of the American airlines, Omni air and Omni air; two of Hawaiian airlines; and four of the United Airlines.
The US so far evacuated by only around 2,500 Americans from Kabul during the past week, and an estimated 15,000 Americans and more than 50,000 Afghan allies still need to be flown.
The Taliban did not make it easy, with reports of obstacles and threats faced by those who want to leave Afghanistan.
US officials admit that Americans have had a “hard meeting” with the Taliban in T Rying to pass the airport.
There are several talks about US power that exceeded the airport limit to facilitate evacuation but the general approach has become one of the warnings and does not want to provoke a shootout.
Seven victims among those who tried to leave, all Afghans, were reported on Sunday at Kabul Airport, including a baby trampled to death in riots.
President Biden is expected to overcome this problem on Sunday after he canceled a vacation vacation scheduled for Saturday after extensive criticism of the handling of his government crisis.
A CBS News poll showed nearly 75 percent of respondents said the US withdrawal from Afghanistan had become bad (30 percent) or very bad (44 percent), although the majority (63 percent) supported the withdrawal of US troops.
Administrative officials who are a convenience of talk shows have a hard time maintaining what is widely seen as a failed withdrawal.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told ABC News that the initial US intelligence estimate varied widely on how long the Afghan government could survive against the Taliban after US military withdrawal and no one anticipated the Afghan government would fall in 11 days.
“There is an assessment that initially ranged from one to two years to several months, but it was various assessments.
When the Taliban began to make a rise, we saw that in a number of cases, there were fewer battles and more giving up and more power only yawned.
It is very difficult to predict with accuracy, “Lloyd said.
