New Delhi: In the war on terror, the US can use the Russian base in Central Asia to reach the target in the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan where terrorist groups such as ISIS-K and the remnants of Al Qaeda are still active.
The US is talking to countries that limit Afghanistan about “for Horizon” housing operations of counterterrorism which will enable the US military to be easier to monitor and attack the target in the Taliban-controlled country, US News Portal Politico has reported quoting senators who attended the trial classified with the Session Pentagon leader this week.
These sites can include the basis run by Russia in these countries, they said.
After testifying in public in front of the Senate Armed Service Committee on Tuesday, a military main official trio gave a lawyer behind the closed door about the discussion, which took place with the Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzistan and others, the Senators told Politico.
The disclosure of parliamentarians on Tuesday only hours after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin admitted that the US had asked Russia to “clarify” about the offer from President Vladimir Putin to host US counterterrorism operations at the Russian military base in Central Asia.
Indian narratives have also reported earlier that Russia has offered the use of its military base in the region to the US.
Moscow was also worried about terrorism that spread to the Central Asian Republic by which Russia shared the border.
These countries are also buffers for Russia against Afghanistan.
During a classified session, the senators were told that the option was considered serious, parliamentarians added.
General Kenneth McKenzie, Head of the Central Command A.S., discussed the type of particular aircraft and launch points that can be used to attack terrorist targets in Afghanistan.
General Mark Milley, Chair of the Joint Chief of Staff, was also explained to the Senator of his conversation with Russian colleagues, Valery Gerasimov, the Senator added.
Politico’s report also quoted the Jack Chair Jack Senate said: “This is their area.
But I think, realistically, Russia has an influence there.
And [Russia] may not have veto, but they certainly have influence.
So [Russia) must speak With them.
“The US has carried out two drone strikes against ISIS-K targets in the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan from the base in the Gulf countries.
However, this is considered too far for efficient action because of the large capacity of flight duration drone wasted to fly to the strike zone and then return to the base.
Operating from the nearest environment will be far more effective, the military experts said.
President Biden said that the US was still not finished with ISIS terrorists and would hunt down the killer who masterminded the attack on the Dahsyat Kabul Airport.
The implementation of such plans will involve the spread of drones why the Taliban seems to have issued the warning.
Taliban on Wednesday warned serious consequences if the United States continued to fly drones above the Afghan airspace.
“The US has violated all international rights and laws and commitments made for the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, with the operation of this drone in Afghanistan,” Taliban said in a statement on Twitter.
Although the Taliban leaders denied the Islamic state and Al Qaeda guerrillas were still active in this country, a series of attacks committed against the Taliban in Jalalabad recently contrary to this claim.
The Islamic state has claimed responsibility for this bomb attack.
