Well that’s kinda embarrassing...
Sounds like a catch 88.

Not much US equipment left by the US in Afghanistan is relevant in Ukraine. Almost all of it is counterinsurgency specific, like MRAP vehicles. Not too much call for anti-IED patrol vehicles in Ukraine right now.
Other things like transport helicopters, where much of the stated value is, are not maintainable in Russia. No parts.
They’ll be as good at running away and leaving weapons behind in Ukraine as they were in Afghanistan.
Actually it was Demented Joe who ran away
Yes, Joe did it…..first.
They did it too.
