Italian operations in Kabul airlift

We can publish an update on the activity of Italian Air Force aircraft in the Kabul airlift (thanks to @DefenceGeek twitter account).

At least four Italian aircraft landed in Kabul in the last days.

The first aircraft is a Boeing KC-767A (reg. MM62229 – callsign IAM1441) departed Pratica di Mare AB at the morning of 15th August and landed after a direct flight in Kabul. The aircraft left Afghanistan for Rome Fiumicino (via Kuwait city Int’l) the same night.

A Lockheed C-130J (reg. MM62178 – callsign IAM4680) left on August 13th Pisa San Giusto where is returned in the night between 15 and 16 of August.

Another Lockheed C-130J (reg. MM62180 – callsign IAM4674) was in Kabul between the August 11 and 15 but we don’t know exactly when.

Both C-130J operated with ADS-B transponder switched off so we haven’t their tracks.

A fourth aircraft, another Lockheed C-130J (reg. MM62194 – callaign IAM4646) is landed in Kabul this afternoon.
