For those just paying attention, the Taliban and Iranian border has been an issue since week one of their takeover. Go look it up.

I wonder if part of this, has to do with water rights

Intersting. I learned about this thanks to your post.
SO... if the Afghans use American equipment to attack Iran, at least those weapons would come to good use.

By the way... they said they “captured” that American equipment. That sounds too heroic. That equipment was simply abandoned...

Should hostilities increase between the two sides, Taliban fighters will have thousands of vehicles at their disposal that were paid for by American taxpayers. Darth Biden's secret genius plan to use the Taliban to bring down the mullahs is beginning to bear fruit! /sar

Looks like the Sunni Pashtuns no like-y the Shiite Iranians. This could be fun. Yet more grist for the Apocalypse mill.

Let the fighting begin. A good use of American taxpayers money.

Cue the Joe Biden sticker that shows him saying: “I did that!!”

Golly - someone made one for this specific traitorous act.

Biden

Afghanistan, and it’s neighborhood conflicts, are not American problems.

However, if they go to war against Iran, and they need spares for equipment, there will be somebody here willing to sell parts.

The question rises......... who is fundamentally most correct?

We may be having a Baptist like Islamic fundamentalist feud that will get people killed rather than just go off in a huff and start a new church

Discredited bs mistranslated Mexican news.

I believe the Deep State was and is on their side. No other explanation for BiteMes Afghanistan withdrawal.

Without spare parts and regular maintenance, these vehicles will be carcases in short order.

You are absolutely DEAD WRONG- the yellow band denotes HE, the training AT4 tube has a blue band. I know from EXPERIENCE, Blue in Ordnance denotes “ Training”, Yellow HE ( loaded with energetic material).

Where do people like you come from? You will get someone killed if handling Ordnance.

Speaking of DEAD WRONG, Read the manual.

Color-Coding. M136 AT4 launchers are marked with color-coded bands (Figure 3-5). A black with yellow band indicates an HE antiarmor round (early models had a solid black band). A gold or yellow band indicates a field handling trainer; no band indicates an M287 9-mm tracer bullet trainer

Check again, the color coding you sight is current color coding. Older are color coded “yellow band for HE, TM 3-23.25 15 September 2010.”

It is highly unlikely we gave the Ukies newer manufactured stock, they are getting our older stocks, and NATO stocks.

Fact is it matters not when they will be used against us on our soil.
