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.

I expect the next report to be Biden has ordered Gen Milley to find out who disabled the helicopters, and to prepare a court marsahal qwith the idea of long prison sentences

Ah, they are out of luck, as they didn’t opt for the warranty.
I get it, there are no local repair facilities. Maybe they can sue the US government?

So, the Taliban were all happy and gay, but now they are upset and feel betrayed because some toys don’t work?

Bummerooski, dude.

Good to see that English and Journalism education didn't go to waste.

The Taliban were probably informed that all equipment would be left behind in working order and someone disobeyed orders.
