The Afghan Ministry of Defense has released recent airstrike footage that shows a Taliban controlled compound, as well as a Taliban patrol being eliminated.

Prior to contrary belief, the Nation of Afghanistan is still in the fight against the Taliban. While it's easy to see the lost land, and current Taliban control in most regions as the Government failing to provide security to its people, videos like this are still being released on a near daily basis. These videos show that the Government Forces of Afghanistan are still firmly in control of the fight in the regions in which they can extend their airpower.

I believe, if given enough time, the Afghan National Government will be able to regain control of Taliban controlled areas simply through the use of their air power. In the world of modern warfare, the skies are another terrain piece that needs to be controlled. The Taliban are currently not capable of controlling that key piece of terrain, and as a result they will continue to have warheads landing on their foreheads anywhere they try to control as long as Afghan pilots continue to take to the skies.
