It’s surprising that the DOD hasn’t been destroying the equipment left behind. Seems like a good use of drones with hellfire missiles. This will never happen with the current administration so focused on other more important matters.
Maybe DOD was just waiting to see the equipment on the move. If Russia takes possession and begins moving it north, the DOD will then have to decide whether they still want to destroy it under those circumstances. Russia is probably war-gaming that scenario right now. What might be their response, I wonder.
