The parade was linked to the graduation of 250 freshly trained soldiers, defence ministry spokesman Enayatullah Khwarazmi said.
The exercise involved dozens of U.S.-made M117 armoured security vehicles driving slowly up and down a major Kabul road with MI-17 helicopters patrolling overhead. Many soldiers carried American made-M4 assault rifles.
Most of the weapons and equipment the Taliban forces are now using are those supplied by Washington to the American-backed government in Kabul in a bid to construct an Afghan national force capable of fighting the Taliban.

These armaments were not captured by the Taliban. They were abandoned (given) to them by the Biden administration.

The Mil Mi-17 is a Soviet designed Russian military helicopter. Not American

The first paragraph of the article ...
KABUL, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Taliban forces held a military parade in Kabul on Sunday using captured American-made armoured vehicles and Russian helicopters in a display that showed their ongoing transformation from an insurgent force to a regular standing army.

And it was all planned in advance by the Biden Administration. It was all incorporated in the stealing of the election. Every individual who voted for Biden. Every Republican who stated that the election was legitimate. Is a traitor to the Constitution of the United States of America. They should be hanged by the neck until dead. Mike [Judas Iscariot] Pence should be first. The members of the media should be next. They murdered the Constitution of the United States of America. But that will not happen. Instead, they will be feted and treated as heroes. At one time they would have been. But that was when, as a Nation, we had morals, good character, ethics, principles, and stood for something. Now we have neither. The biggest liar known to man occupies the White House. The next biggest liar known to man is standing in line waiting for him to falter. The third group of the biggest group of liars known to man occupy seats in Congress.
