A video was distributed on social networks, which shows how an American Blackhawk combat helicopter flies in the sky over Afghanistan, from which a rope with a man stretches down.

The video is published by RIA Novosti. The media suggested that the video was hanged by the Taliban * for cooperation with the American military. There is no confirmation of this. The video appeared on Twitter Talib Times. The description on the page says that this is "the official English-language account of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" (the self-name of the radical movement). The commentary to the entry states that "the Islamic Emirate Air Force is flying over the city of Kandahar and patrolling the city".

The record does not specify who is suspended from the helicopter. The journalists believed that the Taliban had hanged this man *. For example, Sudhir Chaudhary, editor-in-chief of the Indian television channel Zee News, wrote on Twitter that “the Taliban * hanged a man, presumably an American translator, on an American Blackhawk helicopter. The remaining US helicopters will now be used in Afghanistan in a similar way”.

A similar opinion was expressed by an American journalist from Wheeler, who said that the responsibility for what happened lies with US President Joe Biden.

The Taliban * captured the Afghan capital Kabul on August 15. The next day, representatives of the movement said that the war was over, and the form of government in the country would be clarified shortly. Before that, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled to the UAE. The Panjshir province remains the only province outside the control of the Taliban. * On the night of August 30-31, the US military finally left Afghanistan.

* The Taliban movement is recognized as terrorist and is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation
