The United States handed over four A-29 Super Tucano attack aircraft to the Ministry of Defense on Thursday.
Speaking at the event, acting Defence Minister Asadullah Khalid said the Afghan air force is capable of facing its enemies.
He said the reason for the ongoing conflict was to defend two decades worth of achievements.
He confirmed however that the Taliban has ramped up violence across the country.
Designed to operate in high temperatures and in extremely rugged terrain, the A-29 is a highly maneuverable fourth-generation weapons system capable of delivering precision-guided munitions.
It can fly at low speeds and low altitudes is easy to fly and provides exceptionally accurate weapons delivery.
