Taliban hold military parade with U.S.-made weapons in Kabul
The Taliban Just Held a Parade Featuring all the Weapons and Vehicles Brandon Left in Afghanistan
Quote:
When President Brandon ordered an ignominious retreat from Afghanistan, he didn’t just leave behind American families and our national honor. He also left behind billions of dollars worth of weapons and military equipment. That equipment included (but is certainly not limited to):
2,000 Armored Vehicles Including Humvees and MRAPs
45 UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters
At least 600,000+ Small arms M16, M249 SAWs, M24 Sniper Systems,
50 Calibers, 1,394 M203 Grenade Launchers, M134 Mini Gun, 20mm
Gatling Guns and Ammunition
16,000+ Night Vision Goggles
Large Stockpile of Plate Carriers and Body Armor
And, again, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Scout attack helicopters, rockets, communications gear, thousands of trucks, and millions of rounds of ammunition were left too. During the chaotic NATO withdrawal, during which the Afghan military threw down its arms and ran at the first sign of danger, the Taliban was able to seize all of those highly useful weapons.
The Taliban, rather than secreting those war materials away, decided to parade them around Kabul over the past weekend, exposing the incompetence of America’s war planners to the world and showcasing their fancy, American-made armored vehicles. Watch that parade.
