According to the portal, the Taliban are now parading in their captured equipment and uniforms after making off with some £13 billion worth of abandoned weapons and vehicles, including 200,000 firearms and 20,000 Humvees seized from the Afghan army.reported that the footage came about after President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan reportedly said the Taliban had seized a “fair amount” of US weaponry after it took over the country earlier this month.
“We don’t have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defence material has gone,” Sullivan said. “But certainly, a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, and, obviously, we don’t have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.” The station added that the US had spent about US$83 billion since 2001 on training and equipment for Afghan forces, including US$147 million on Black Hawk helicopters and US$2 billion on Humvees.
Other photos and videos show Taliban soldiers carrying US and US ally-made weapons and gear that appear to be stolen from allied militaries while patrolling parts of Kabul.
