The Afghan “Taliban” movement found Soviet “Albatros” and “Scud” ballistic missile systems, according to Russian media.

The Albatross were produced in the Soviet Union between 1962 and 1987, and are still in service in a number of countries.

The Ministry of State Security in Afghanistan had an Albatros missile battalion, and it is clear that these missiles, when stored in the open air, were idle for a long time, in addition to their expiration date, according to the state newspaper, Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

And accounts on social media circulated a video clip showing a number of Taliban fighters inspecting a site where they found missiles and launch systems.

The Albatross single-stage liquid-fueled ballistic missile weighs 5.8 tons, is capable of flying 300 km, and can carry a thermonuclear charge.
