Vladimir Putin plans to seize US weapons left behind during the evacuation of Afghanistan.
Kremlin insider claims that the Russian despot is in negotiations with the Taliban to recognise the nation's government.
In return, Putin wants US equipment snatched from Afghanistan by the Taliban to be handed over - according to Telegram channel General SVR - which claims to be fed information by a Kremlin insider.

Russia has already captured several Javelin anti-tank missiles from Ukraine units.
“...50,000 vehicles...!”
Let that sink in. Over $100 billion in equipment abandoned in Afghanistan and another $150 billion plus an additional 31 Abraham’s tanks ($8.9 million each) given to Ukraine. No big deal, but the IRS still wants you and me to report every transaction over $600.
Why else did Joe leave hem there?
Putin’s probably too late, Chicoms got the good ones.
Just think of the free technology they’re getting to develop their own lethal toys.
So the Taliban can sell them to the Russians or the Chi coms............great move not going in to scuttle them, hell they should never been left in the first place.
I do not think a bunch of 20 year old humvees, and worn out helicopters will help Russia much.
The real issue in Afghanistan was the millions of rounds of ammo and small arms. Russia does not use 5.56.
I hate Xiden. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was botched. Butch he gave them a bu ch of worn out equipment as far as I can tell.
If Russia starts having to arm troops with used M4 carbines in a 5.56 caliber it means Russia is on the skids.
Coincidence, I’m sure
Further, weapons left behind that could be quickly destroyed were destroyed. All Pootie will get are small arms, personal armor, some broken down copters and assorted junk - most of the left behind $8 billion was in the form of cash on pallets - which Pootie will not get.
Here's your source - MSN via telegram channel "General SVR" via "a kremlin insider."
The propaganda gets stupider by the day.
and?
Putin’s military spies are rife within the Uke government and military. Putin knows all there is to know about our most advanced weaponry. Those magnificent Abrams have never really gone up against a modernly equipped adversary. What the heck is going on? I thought the Ruskies were down for the count again as recently as last fall.
US equipment snatched from Afghanistan by the Taliban to be handed over -

Nice try urinalists
They didn’t snatch squat
Milley Mattis and Biden
GAVE it away.
Spit
after their late unpleasantness, good luck wi that...
The botchfest of globalist foreign policy continues.
Joe left over 600000 m-4s and millions of rounds
I’m sure they can use it to kill with.
So USA is a quarter trillion and our enemies are are a quarter trillion richer.
Yes, I do consider zelensky an enemy of the American people.
Its a bit difficult to understand what the Russians would want from Afghanistan. There wasnt much there that the Russians seem to need at this point. There are thousands of Humvees and MRAPs, plus infantry weapons. Also body armor, etc.
But what do I know. Maybe the Russians are so short of equipment for their conscripts that they are willing to go for that? Not enough AKs, body armor and trucks?
I would think that by now Afghanistan should have sold most of the good equipment.
