russia - nato relations during gwot in afghanistan  wikipedia says that russia allowed nato forces to transit through their territory enroute to afghanistan.  was this actually useful to anyone or was it just a political gesture? seems like it would've been nice for some of the smaller eastern euro nato nations with less airlift capability. i can't imagine anything super special from the uk or us passed through just due to security concerns. i also read about belorussian and russian contractors being killed in aircraft crashes.
