Comments by "" (@tomk3732) on "Russian Embassy: Ashraf Ghani fled Afghanistan with four cars, chopper full of cash| Taliban | Kabul" video.
Well, US shipped 12BN in USD in cash to Iraq to pay for oil and gas. It was many crates of USD and many cargo planes. 1Bn is about 8 creates. So story makes absolute sense. Presidential plane is small. He certainly had more then few million with him.

@arcticwanderer2000 I am guessing that the aircraft is Boening 727. The aircraft empty weight is 40t, max takeoff is 76 and fuel is just under 30t. Range is max 4000km. 1B weight without pallets is around 11t. So if they taken few pp and less then max fuel maybe they could have fit all the cash. Maybe. US used cargo plane load to move each billion. Mi-17 usually takes just 4t of cargo. Given like 10pp it drops to 3t. So they could have taken just few hundred million USD at most. Range is only 800km so it had to be a plane. Why? Tajikistan confirmed they denied landing of presidential plane - it went to Uzbekistan. There is no way a helicopter would have made the journey. Most likely a helicopter was involved to move $$$. Some of it was stashed on the plane. Then it flown towards Tajikistan which refused and then to Uzbekistan. Now its in Oman. I doubt there is a video of the departure. Maybe some hand held camera. Maybe. Probably not. too busy moving $$$.
