I need to disagree mate. ANA is not fully integrated yet thus we have a trust issue with them in Afghanistan. As I have mentioned a dozen times; these are routine exercises, not a big deal. It's very ironic that TNF and PN doesn't have such cooperation. Why not SAT and SSGN have never exercised together, not even a VBSS in port visits. Though they were recently opened themselves to public for the first time since a decade. You can see at Turkish SOF thread.

Very ironic that no naval coop exists.

@Neptune

Afghan APUs are fairly well trained.

It's not about how they are trained; Turkish news agencies report the lack of coop between Afghan SOF and ÖKK. Not because of their trainings. They don't have an integrated, battle ready, capable army yet. This includes their SF/SOF as well.

Dude this is more of a relationship building endeavor as opposed to actually learning something from the Afghans or them learning something from us.

Their competence can be gauged from the astronomically high level of desertions in the ANA.

I hope the Afghan SOF are better because they are the elite after all.
