A HUGE arsenal of tanks seized by the Taliban have been added to their bulging stash of arms now worth £62 billion.
Video shows row after row of tanks and other armoured vehicles parked up and being inspected by the fanatics after being captured when they defeated government forces...
..In the video, a Taliban fighter can be seen on top of one of the vehicles panning round to show the extent of their weaponry.
Taliban fighters have also been pictured posing for snaps in abandoned fighter jets as satellite shots show the aircraft treasure trove left behind by the US in Kabul.
The grinning jihadis sat in the cockpits of gunships and rode on the bonnets of US Air Force Humvees as they strutted about the airport...

If it wasn’t for the hostages, that would be a target rich environment.
Assets at Diego Garcia could make all left behind equipment disappear
Looks more like a junkyard of old Soviet armor.
Does Afghanistan have oil ... gasoline ... diesel ?
What kind of deal did Biden make with the Taliban in exchange for giving them this fortune in state-of-the-art military gear?
Did they agree to pay a few hundred million dollars for some of Hunters hen-scratch “art”?
Did they put a billion or so in an offshore bank account for the jerk and Jill?
Not at all unlikely, IMHO
No, all that needs to be imported. That’s a problem with Afghanistan. It produces very little, it can’t feed itself. And long supply lines for almost anything, from Pakistan, Central Asia or Iran. Everything substantial into the interior of the country needs to come by road.
Its a strategic dead end, logistically.
Then all you would need would be a Un-Woke administration and military leaders with backbones.
Something we no longer have.

This is just part of the reason Joe Bidet should be in prison.
You can’t capture something handed to you.
All old Soviet stuff.
Target practice, only.
So we can expect an increase in heroin trade in the USA, eh ?
A military coup , of the LOYAL lower ranks, followed by a nuking of the Taliban
All the armored vehicles in that video look like Russian equipment - BMPs and perhaps T-55s.

Afghanistan gets most of their petro products from Iran. However, Afghanistan is out of cash, dead broke. So, remains to be seen how generous Iran will be. Right now, Afghanistan can’t even keep basic utilities up and running, electricity, water, sewer, garbage collection, internet, etc. In fact, Turks have been in to operate and manage Kabul airport. It won’t be long before the country will have devolved back to the 7th century which apparently is exactly what the hard core radical Jihadist want. Sadly, the women and young girls will really suffer as they’re now considered property, chattel.
Correct. Nothing associated with anything we supplied the Afghan Army. Plus the article manages to incorrectly label almost every item pictured... Lol!
Since they’re gathering most of it in one location.... hint hint
Biden is under orders from his Chinese CCP masters. They want the natural resources and humiliating America is just icing on the cake.
