They need them for the traffic reports on “Good Morning Kandahar” and the “Morning Zoo with Mullah Ali and Crazy Abdul” ...

The next Chinese model is going to look remarkably similar.

The sand monkeys won’t be able to fly them or maintain them, but the Russians and Chinese will be happy to buy a few on the cheap for study.

“Speaker Pelosi refers to this as leaving some stuff behind..."

It's not as if they left behind something important, like 158 Subzero freezers filled with Jeni's ice cream, or 158 fully-stocked liquor cabinets.

Pelosi would have to send in the 101st Airborne to retrieve that stuff.

Lara Logan did a very interesting" explanation of how the turnover of Afghanistan to the Taliban actually went as planned for the most part.

It’s hard to recover that many helos quickly even with in-flight refueling (I believe the Black Hawks include the probe). Need to be moved by jet transport. These weren’t moved INTO Iraq en masse: it was a few at a time.

I don’t even care. They can’t fly them. Our guys can barely fly them.

Hopefully they left keys under the sun-visors.

Earlier this week Biden said the Taliban didn’t have an Air-Force. The do now.

Not to niggle, but the featured chopper isn't a Blackhawk, it's a Little Bird with no rotors. Not that Hadj having AH-6s is good, but I guess writers don't need to know wtf they're talking about anymore.

Taliban security forces at the Kabul airport. Nice gear! Better be. We paid for everything in this photo.

All part of the plan. Read somewhere the US was delivering more equipment over the last few weeks/months.

they intended to leave the Taliban well equipped.

This is an impeachable offense.

UH-60s can made into pretty good gunships for the time being. Eventually the maintenance will ground them all. It would not have been hard to wipe out and destroy the left behind equipment and facilities but it was all left intact by purpose and lack of will/dithering NOT negligence. The Biden military knew exactly WTF was going on and what would happen.

I would like to see the Taliban transfer their donkey riding skills to helicopters.

150 Blackhawks, no pilots, no mechanics, no spare parts, no tech support.

Really neat paperweights.

How about Congress subtract the cost of all the equipment, buildings, and any other expense the military incurred during the war, from the upcoming defense budget? That would include all the monies and benefits given to military personnel and contractors for the years we were there..
