One Iranian ally in Afghanistan is a Shiite militia called the Liwa Fatemiyoun. Thousands of young Afghan fighters were recruited into the Fatemiyoun by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to fight for President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. As the Syrian war has wound down, many battle-hardened Fatemiyoun fighters—who are fiercely anti-Taliban—have returned to Afghanistan or Iran.
In the Shiite-dominated neighborhood of Dasht-e Barchi in Kabul, several Taliban members have been killed in nighttime assassinations in recent weeks. The Taliban officially say the killings were private disputes, but members with knowledge of Taliban intelligence say they believe the assassins were members of Fatemiyoun.
“Iran is not itching to get into a fight in Afghanistan,” said Mr. Clarke.
“They are not under any illusion that they would fare any differently from any other interfering country. That said, they’ve got some proxies like the Fatemiyoun and Afghan warlords that they could activate,” he said. “It’s a card up their sleeve that they can play.”

Pilots detail chaotic collapse of the Afghan Air Force
Hours before Kabul fell to the Taliban on Aug. 15, the Afghan Air Force was melting down. Instead of unleashing air attacks against advancing insurgents, some airmen were fighting each other.

Potentially the first Taliban Air Force loss since they inherited the remnants of the Afghan Air Force.
This may become more common as many maintenance personnel fled the country and spare parts run out.
So elements of the Afgan Air Force are still active? What does #NRF mean?

I don't know if they're purporting those to be the actual aircraft or if they're just using a file photo but reverse image searches say the first picture is three years old.

Used to be a good way years ago, but in my experience it's yielding less results each time I use it. To the point where I think a lot is being filtered.

I believe it's definitely being filtered. In the past year I've noticed that images I know are in MI.net fail to bring up any pages

The Administration Knew the Afghan Air Force Would Collapse after a U.S. Withdrawal | National Review
Just about everybody in the American government realized that a Taliban takeover was the most likely scenario . . . except the man at the top.

"There are currently about 80 Americans in Afghanistan who want to leave the country, but evacuation flights have been grounded by the Taliban for about a month, according to a State Department official."
