Thank you, America: Taliban now has 48 aircraft including American-supplied Black Hawks and A-29 attack planes after Afghan army's collapse left them with more air power than many NATO nations

The Taliban have seized an air force worth tens of millions of pounds, including US-bought helicopters and attack planes, giving them more aerial firepower than a third of Nato members.

Over the last few months, the jihadists have captured 10 major airfields from Bagram to Mazar-i-Sharif, and today took to the skies in a $6 million Black Hawk helicopter in their fight against the resistance in the Panjshir Valley.

Taliban chiefs are reported to have ordered their troops to hunt down pilots from the disbanded Afghan Air Force, who received expensive training from the US and its allies to fly high-tech warplanes and choppers.

The jewel in the crown, Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, was seized on Tuesday by triumphant jihadists who were seen clambering into the cockpit of a $14 million Hercules transport jet.

You’d think some people were deliberately trying to destroy the West by allowing 7th century barbarians to acquire modern weapons.

Thank you America Joe: Taliban now has...

There...fixed.

[Kickass Conservative]

Well, at least we didn’t give them any B-29’s.

[gov_bean_ counter]

They thought the Talies were too stupid to fly then never considering that they would hunt down real pilots.

Shallow and stupid, they are.

[EinNYC]

Get it right—it’s not “Thanks, America”. America didn’t do this. The Dimmocommies, who HATE their country, did this. And I HATE them.

"The Taliban have seized an air force worth tens of millions of pounds, including US-bought helicopters and attack planes, giving them more aerial firepower than a third of Nato members."

Biden: "I will be requesting that Afghanistan be allowed to join NATO."
They are a modern country now with an air force and all."

[Gay State Conservative]

We should have given them a few 777’s. There are still plenty of tall buildings in NYC,Chicago,Dallas,Atlanta....

EVERYONE that VOTED for BIDEN HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!!

This is only a regional threat IF the Taliban obtain formal support from a NATO member.

Or, if they sell them to Iran.

If not, they won’t be airworthy for a month.

[Mr. Blond]

They won’t last long without maintenance and parts.
