Fact Check: Old video from Libya shared as Taliban learning to fly US chopper

A video of a helicopter flying in a zigzag pattern on a road has gone viral, with the claim that the Taliban is learning to fly American choppers. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found the claim along with the video to be misleading.

The United States left behind billions of dollars' worth sophisticated weaponry, including attack helicopters and armoured vehicles, as they pulled out of Afghanistan. Visuals of Taliban taking over Kabul airport and posing with US choppers have been circulating on social media. Amid this, a video of a helicopter going zigzag on a road is being shared with the claim that Taliban is learning to fly American choppers. “Special Black Hawk Taxi Service, #Afghanistan Taxi Operator — #Taliban,” says one such caption.
