President Biden assured us that as the Taliban advanced on Kabul, we would not be seeing a replay of the fall of Saigon with people being airlifted off the roof of the U.S. Embassy. Maybe not, but we’re seeing reports that our embassy will be evacuated within the next 72 hours, with those remaining destroying hard drives, taking down cameras, and stripping the embassy of alarms. The embassy is being careful not to leave anything behind, but that’s not so true of the military hardware left behind in the care of the Afghan army. Here are a few tweets about the Taliban’s new toys.
Julian Röpcke ~ The #Taliban not only seized appr. a hundred US humvees and (MaxxPro) MRAPs at Kunduz airport, but also several US ScanEagle drones. Billions of US taxpayer $ going to Islamist extremists, thanks to the administration's hasty withdrawal without a peace deal or follow up mission.
Julian Röpcke ~ The sheer amount of vehicles raises the question if anyone ever used them after they were paid and transferred by the US ... Now every Taliban fighter gets his own Ford, Toyota, Humvee or MRAP.
Julian Röpcke ~ Counting the boxes, Taliban collected another five #ScanEagle drones in Herat, each costing around $4,000,000. Let’s see how much Iran or China pay the Taliban for them to investigate our western technology ... #EpicFail #Afghanistan
CulturalHusbandry ~ They've also managed to capture a few Scan Eagle Drones, $3.2M a piece. Imran Ahmed ~ The Taliban got its hands on U.S. Scan Eagle UAVs left behind by the Afghan Army in Kunduz. So pretty much everything the US gave the government forces fell in Taliban hands. So the US indirectly armed #Taliban #Kabul #Afghanistan
CulturalHusbandry ~ The Taliban are now in possession of more Blackhawk helicopters than 166 other nations around the globe.
CulturalHusbandry ~ Update: Kandahar Airport. Another Blackhawk captured, reports of Jets having been captured as well. No video of fixed wing assets, yet.
Jack Posobiec ~ Weapons captured by the Taliban on just one base ...
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence |
