India in talks with Afghanistan to restore aircraft to flying status

After turning over the fourth, and final Mi-25 gunship, India and Afghanistan are now in talks to return a number of Russian built aircraft and helicopters that have been grounded to flying status.

A team was in Afghanistan recently to assess 40-50 helicopters and "a number of" An-32s. Talks are expected to take place between India, Afghanistan, and Russia at the upcoming Heart of Asia talks. Afghanistan has not asked for new equipment, and Russia would be required to supply some parts and possibly technical assistance for some of the aircraft.

Well they are going to need some form of working air force if they wish to maintain a semblance of control just down to the geography of the place.
