In the midst of the Afghanistan-Pakistan war, Russia's 'friend of India' has made a big diplomatic move against Islamabad. It is known that the Taliban will be trained in modern warfare by Russia. This step is considered as 'danger bell' for Pakistan. Islamabad is frowned upon in the whole incident.
According to media sources, a high-level defense delegation of the Taliban has arrived in Moscow to participate in Russia's largest military exercise 'Center 2026'. It is headed by Mawlawi Nasibullah Madani, commander of the Taliban's Abdullah Bin Masud Corps. It is known that in this exercise, the representatives of the Taliban observed the advanced Russian drone, missile and robot war tactics. Here he met with the military representatives of several countries including China, India, North Korea, Vietnam, Uzbekistan. The participation of the Taliban in this military exercise is not just a visit, but is believed to have a larger diplomatic plan behind it.
The Taliban's participation in the Russian military exercise is not just a visit, but a larger diplomatic plan is believed to be behind it.
However, before this military exercise in Moscow, the first military-technical cooperation agreement was signed between Russia and the Taliban on the stage of the International Security Forum in Moscow on May 27. Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu and Taliban Defense Minister Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob were present there. It goes without saying that the Taliban will learn the details of modern warfare, weapons use and training during this exercise. Pakistan is sleepy with the way the situation is going.
Note that in 2025, Russia was the first country in the world to recognize the Taliban government. The name of Taliban was also removed from the terrorist list. According to diplomatic circles, Kabul is turning to Russia to strengthen its defenses in the face of frequent border attacks by Pakistan. Which is of considerable concern to Islamabad. Incidentally, Pakistan has been conducting continuous air strikes in Afghanistan for the past few months. They allege that Afghanistan is harboring TTP militants in their country. However, the Taliban completely rejected Pakistan's allegations and said that Islamabad is continuously attacking the common people of their country.
