Taliban Making Hay With the Staggering Amount of Military Gear Left in Afghanistan –

 RedState   "When Joe Biden ordered the chaotic, deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, he didn’t just leave behind our dignity, he also left behind billions in weapons and armaments. Although we’ve known that most of that equipment ended up in Taliban hands, new photos and videos are emerging showing just how much we essentially donated to the violent group.

"According to the Khaama Press News Agency, an Afghani news outlet, the militant group has been successful in fixing hundreds of tactical vehicles:

Taliban’s Defense Ministry has confirmed that the group has repaired around 300 military vehicles left by the United States in Afghanistan.

Most of these military vehicles had been intentionally partially damaged by the American forces when they withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021, Bakhtar News Agency reported.

The Taliban’s Ministry of Defense said that their technical team and engineers have also managed to repair hundreds of vehicles including 150 International Kamazes, 125 Humvees, 2 assault tanks, 4 trucks, 10 Porcliff vehicles, and 15 Humvee ambulances.

According to reports, including RedState‘s, at least $7 billion in materiel was left in the country. (Although many earlier claims indicated the figure was as high as $89 billion, most news outlets are now reporting the $7 billion figure. The $89 billion often cited is actually “the total amount spent on the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund since the war began in 2001.”). . .
