Afghanistan : obviously but also "the end of the US combat mission in Iraq".
Africa : Where a lot of 'Afghanistan' has moved. Djibouti of course and the land of the "blue people" : the Bamako, Niamey and N'Djamena axis.
Antonov : Afghanistan, SALIS, the West African Bamako and Niamey routes and Mriya's near daily COVID trips.
Not Antonov, but where it goes other Ukranian and Azerbaijani airlines follow : it is amazing how much NATO military gear depends on being flown around in ex-Soviet machines.
