Original information:
Afghanistan, a country of breathtaking scenery and ancient culture, but which has been torn apart by religious and political conflicts in the past. After the end of the Russian invasion in the late 1980s, the country was devastated by the civil war, and over the majority of the lands the control of the extremist Taliban took over. Following the 2001 terrorist attacks, Afghanistan has turned the attention of the whole world, for the Taliban's terrorist group has shown its support.
The whole situation has resulted in US military action designed to overthrow the Taliban and establish democratic elections so that the inhabitants of this troubled country can live in an atmosphere of religious tolerance and safety without fear of violence and intimidation. The British troops have been involved in this military operation since 2001, under Operation Herrick code since 2002. In 2012 it can be said that this operation has progressed considerably since its inception. The British Army continues to operate as part of NATO's ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) with most of its troops concentrated in the south of the country, around Hilmand.
The British soldiers in Hilmand province are very well equipped for the pitfalls that make this well-known and largely unstable region just buzz. Their longtime experience with vehicles and other means such as Jackal, Lynx helicopters, and Mastiff armored vehicles help them not only achieve the primary goal of suppressing the revolt of the Taliban, which is still active in the province, but also in providing assistance and training the Afghan Army in the hope that it will soon be able to take over the security of their country in their own hands.
The use of combined arms, armor, artillery, and helicopter is an important part of Algerian operations in Afghanistan, and this set is very well illustrated, including the various distinctive aspects of British contribution to the common effort of Western troops." br>
