Taliban fighters are feeling angry and betrayed Wednesday after discovering that Afghan National Army helicopters abandoned at Kabul’s airport have been rendered inoperable by departing U.S. troops, according to most of the mainstream media outlets.
An Al Jazeera reporter who toured a hangar on the military side of the airport said in a video that the terrorist group “expected the Americans to leave helicopters like this in one piece for their use.”
“When I said to them, ‘why do you think that the Americans would have left everything operational for you’? They said because we believe it is a national asset and we are the government now and this could have come to great use for us,” she continued.
This morning a video surfaced of American soldiers as they are smashing the windows, devices & military vehicles, before they withdrew from Afghanistan.

It seems that the soldiers were working on their own when they broke the military equipment because the Taliban’s who are very active on Twitter just posted a video where they claim that they have all the spare parts they need to fix everything that was broken.

A U.S. Department of Defense spokesperson told Fox News on Wednesday that “we disabled/demilitarized that equipment at Hamid Karzai International Airport prior to our departure.”
But even if the DOD claims that they have destroyed the military equipement the question still remains on why the equipment wasn’t returned back on U.S. soil?
The Afghans now seem to sell some of the state-of-the-art military technology to our biggest enemies.
A social media post originating in Iran posted several images of Humvees loaded on transport trucks stopped on the side of an Iranian highway. An Iranian Telegram channel that covers military stories has released these “exclusive” images that purportedly show humvees and other military vehicles spotted on the Semnan-Garmsar road in Iran.
The source which is an Iranian journalist reporting for BBC claims that he is sure that those are Iranian roads:
The equipment is likely s tiny portion of the massive military cache the Biden administration abandoned in Afghanistan. It would make sense for the Taliban to sell off anything they don’t intend to use in order to fund their government without having to deal with any U.S. demands.
I can’t make it past the “Taliban’s” error in the title...
They should have set some IEDs for payback.
They should be using Thermite grenades.
but do they hand Thumbs so they can use Tools
The article is talking about equipment left at the airport in Kabul. The vast majority of the billions of dollars worth of US military equipment and weaponry was left at Bagram Air Base in Parvan Province.
Tee hee my wife is an area manager for them
At best, some of the equipment was disabled. There is clear video evidence of the Taliban using vehicles abandoned by the Biden regime.
Sure, but do they have the expertise to repair/install them?
Well, it is a pretty amateur blog, but these days the same error can be found on the most prestigious websites.
look at it this way, there’s been great success at getting unwanted apostrophes adopted
Maybe, US should re-pay Taliban for the damage dome o these things! Time for reparations! I am sure, Bidet is very sorry.
I think’ you’re’ corre’ct: it seem’s to be’s preval’’ent nowa’day’s.
They get infrastructure support via Pakistan. It remains to be seen if this will be enough to maintain and repair some of the more complex equipment, e.g. the Blackhawk helicopters.
They probably were not issued any.
That is asinine, if not commendable.
What is wrong with a Willie Peter grenade tossed in? One per vehicle or equipment...
Sand in the oil, engine and hydraulic. I’m sure they can find some.
Who got the 2 C-RAM units left behind? Where they destroyed or left intact?
Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM)

Yep! But it was all in the master plan by the globalists. All the equipment should’ve been blown up and destroyed completely to smithereens. But the hate for Israel is so grand that the globalist plan all of this. Even the Pentagon because they can’t be that stupid. The generals should have bypassed Beijing Joe. But even the Pentagon probably despises Israel. You know that they’re going to use our equipment and drones and whatever else was left there to make war with Israel. All in the plan!
