Now which bird are Eutelsat going to deploy at 28E as Afghansat 1??
Under the multi-year agreement, Eutelsat will deploy an in-orbit satellite from February 2014 to 48° East to deliver full national coverage and extensive reach of Central Asia and the Middle East. The satellite will be officially called AFGHANSAT 1 by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, reflecting Afghanistan’s entry into the commercial satellite business.

Eut 48A & C are clapped out & inclined so unlikely to be those 2.
Eut 28B maybe as that one is no longer needed at 28E?
Or maybe Eut 33A which is to be retired from 33E
