Afghanistan’s extremist Taliban government released photographs late last week of some of the U.S. military equipment that it seized in the wake of President Joe Biden’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
The photos come after Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 left up to a maximum of $24 billion worth of weapons and equipment in the hands of the Taliban.
“300 destroyed vehicles in the 205th Army Corps were restored,” Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense wrote on Twitter. “As many as (300) types of intermediate military vehicles that were destroyed and unusable were restored and ready for use by the technical team of the Abu Dojaneh Brigade of the Badr Army.”
“Repaired vehicles include 150 International Kamaz trucks,” the statement continued. “125 Arada Humvee, 2 assault tanks, 4 Aradeh Taylor, 10 Aradeh Purcliff, and 15 are Humvee ambulances.”
“It should be mentioned that hundreds of other vehicles have been restored due to the efforts of the engineering and technical teams of the Ministry of National Defense,” the statement said.

Remember how Team Biden got journos to run interference for them and downplay what a catastrophe this was?
"The Taliban won't be able to use them." "Where are they going to get spare parts?" "They already had some of these anyway."
Anything to get out of the news cycle. https://t.co/9XJ2mNYsl4

No one was fired for this. No one resigned. Biden should be impeached, and his team of so-called "experts" should be ashamed. https://t.co/pXFkpE13Jm

INCONCEIVABLE: Billions of dollars in operational US military equipment left behind by the Biden mis-administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Outrageous and treasonous. https://t.co/sA12PM67jL
