#1 Hopefully we aren't arming vehicle checkpoints with AA items.

#2 Brought to by the Taliban Information Agency, the inventors of the Infidels Are Killing Civilians and Looking Up Our Women's Dresses press release.

Afghan Army equipment: Heavy Arms
* Dragunov SVD sniper rifle
* PK series MGs
* RPG-7 Anti-tank weapon
* Browning M2 heavy MG
* SPG-9 Recoilless Rifle
* 82mm Medium Mortar
* D-30 122mm howitzer
* M114 155 mm howitzer

Not much in the way of antitank or anti-air. I'll even bet the RPG-7 warheads are the antipersonnel variety.
