The arrival of 12 Russian military cargo aircraft at Bagram airfield 
just north of Kabul last week has underscored the behind-the-scenes 
rivalry underway between the US and other major powers for a stake 
in Afghanistan. The Russian "Emergencies Ministry" is a paramilitary 
body with its own military wing of 70,000 troops. It was formed as a 
split off from the Defence Ministry after the collapse of the Soviet 
Union in 1991. The landing operation is reported to have taken five 
hours. A fleet of trailer trucks, supported by fuel tankers and other 
vehicles, ferried the cargo and personnel into Kabul.
