So is this missile defense system going to be abandoned tomorrow on the way out, like every other piece of hardware we put in Afghanistan?

You beat me to it. It has been estimated that around 600,000 weapons U.S. gave to the Afghan government is now in the hands of the Taliban. I wonder if this missile defense system will be left behind for the Taliban to use after September 1, 2021. I doubt these anti-rocket system is based on a ship.

looks to me like it’d fit inside a c-17 with a little wiggle room, but is it worth the risk of an additional flight?

boom the truck and take the modular units to serve another day
