In 2019, the Taliban set up the drone unit, a team of 11 people, most of whom have technical backgrounds who have studied or previously worked for foreign companies or organizations.

The Taliban had military units that used drones, but for dedicated drones, an independent drone unit was set up, which operated independently of the activities of the Taliban forces, and was not allowed to interfere with its work or even talk about it.

The dedicated UAV riddle relied on Afghan companies to import what it needed, and the first aircraft cost $ 60,000, parts of which were brought in from here and there, especially from agricultural UAVs used to spray agricultural pesticides, and they linked them to satellites using online applications.

The team's first major operation was the bombing of a roadblock in Condos - in early 2020, and then the team helped draw accurate maps of enemy locations and assassinated key figures in the Afghan army, and then two more units were set up, in 2020, to achieve as wide operational capabilities as possible. Across Afghanistan.

In 2020, the drone unit assassinated and eliminated a senior Afghan official named Biram Gul, using a drone after being identified by his cell phone number, forcing Ashraf Ghani to restrict his movements for fear of being harmed.
