Previously, the Taliban has captured a lot of helicopters of this type from the Afghan army , but due to inexperience in operation and lack of spare parts, most of these helicopters are inoperable.
Ukraine’s military itself is in a similar situation, when a series of its helicopters are lying on the ground, because there are not enough spare parts.
