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 a report.

An Al Jazeera reporter who toured a hanger 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.

Oh well.

At first, I thought this was from Babylon Bee

[ridesthemiles]

Another failed IQ test???

[Roadrunner383]

Thought this was the Babylon Bee for a second, but no, it’s the world we live in now.

They can sell them to Russia and China. I’m sure something can be juryrigged.

[BenLurkin]

ditto

[deks]

At the airport, but what about all of them in the rest of Afghanistan?

[Jonty30]

Ass covering for Joe Biden.

I think the leading Democratic Congressmen need to fly to Kabul and help fix those helicopters.

(When the Taliban figure out the Congress-critters talk a great game but can't actually _do_ anything the fun begins....)

[Tennessee Nana]

Gee were so sorry fellows...

We’ll be over right away with 100 more brand new ones...

Joe will fly the lead one...

[BiglyCommentary]

If they hosed or took the flight computer systems its just a big piece of scrap metal.

[Freee-dame]

What about all the helicopters left at Bagram? Is this just an article trying to give cover to Biden?

[mrmeyer]

That’s exactly what this propagandas purpose is

[JoSixChip]

Is this just an article trying to give cover to Biden?

Yep.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

ISIS will have more spare parts than NAPA.

[ClearCase_guy]

“Joe Biden promised us that everything would be in top shape!”

[Pollard]

Haven’t we seen videos of them flying or trying to fly some?

[LIConFem]

The could have blown them up and/or destroyd the engines. From what I could tell, they flattened somme tires, brooke some windows ans smashed the gauges. I’m sure they did othe stuff as well, but what hey left couls be sold to the highest bidder and likely ade functional, if only for evaluation purposes.

[ealgeone]

Me too!

Well, it is fro the fake news site fox News, so hard to tell if it’s real or not
