The Taliban need weapons and see Russia and China as their primary partners.

The Taliban, which is considered a terrorist movement in Russia, announced that it expects very good and close relations with Russia and China. Considering that in fact the Taliban have already come to power in the country, Afghanistan will be extremely interested in acquiring Russian and Chinese weapons.

At the moment, the Taliban movement is banned in Russia. The Russian side did not rule out that it could recognize this movement as a legitimate authority in Afghanistan if the Taliban comply with the norms and international law, which, by the way, the Taliban have already stated.

“Afghanistan is far from the richest country in the world, however, the Taliban are not going to acquire modern air defense / missile defense systems, hundreds of tanks and tactical missile systems. Speech, in this case, will probably go about armored vehicles, small arms, ammunition, short-range air defense systems, etc. Russia can freely provide all this to the new Afghan authorities, provided that a number of conditions are met and the status of a terrorist movement is removed from the Taliban.
