[Epoch Times September 3, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Lin Zirong reported) After the U.S. military left Afghanistan, many weapons and armaments were left behind, many of which were previously aided by the Afghan government forces. After the Taliban took over Afghanistan, they also received these. U.S. military armaments.
The commander of the US Central Command Kenneth McKenzie (Kenneth McKenzie) once stated that the US military’s armaments in Afghanistan include about 70 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and 27 Hummvee vehicles. ). Before the U.S. withdrawal, 73 aircraft were disarmed, rendering them unable to fly and operate.
McKinsey said that the remaining “those aircraft can no longer fly…cannot be operated by anyone.”
The U.S. military also left the anti-rocket, artillery and mortar system (C-RAM) used to protect Kabul Airport from rocket attacks. The U.S. military also scrapped these equipment before leaving. “The process of dismantling those systems is complicated and time-consuming, so we abolished the equipment of those systems and made it unusable again.” McKinsey said.
The picture shows that on August 31, after the Taliban’s special force “Badri” received the equipment and weapons of the U.S. military, the soldiers of the unit put on the full equipment of the U.S. military. The A-29 attack aircraft and the equipment of many soldiers were left in the hangar at Kabul Airport. Taliban members took pictures of the destroyed MD 530 helicopter. “Mine-proof and anti-ambush vehicles” can also be seen in Kabul Airport.
