The parade also showcased military equipment left behind by U.S. and NATO forces, including helicopters, Humvees, and tanks.
Troops marched with an array of weaponry, and a motorcycle unit displayed the Taliban flag.
In Kabul, pickup trucks filled with men celebrated the takeover, some posing with rifles, while in Helmand province, men carried yellow canisters to symbolize explosives used in past conflicts.
Wednesday was declared a national holiday by the Taliban.

Better not watch this then. Perhaps some Freepers can ID the type of equipment

Was Joe invited?
bttt
you won’t see this on the nightly news. Norduh o’Donnell should take note, this is why her ratings sucked, she withheld the truth, now she’s fired for poor ratings.
Would be great if Trump gets elected he goes back and gets the equipment back 4 years later and show how it should have been done.
Sounds like a target rich environment. That would have taken them by surprise.
Party Taliban style.
Soon to be named Joe Biden Day by the grateful Taliban.
Biden/Harris did that, FRiend.
Let’s spread the blame where it belongs!
Gee, thanks, Joe. Maybe you shoulda flew there and helped them celebrate you miserable SOB.
....I believe I read on another site that our “hero troops” left their military police dogs in their cages to die as they hauled-ass out of there....can’t verify this but maybe somebody else saw that article or heard about it....no matter what, that withdrawal showed the world how weak and irrelevant the U.S. is now....
Didn’t look like US helicopters to me. Maybe Russian or other country. Some of the sand colored stuff looked like MRAP versions and the OD stuff in the background hard to tell. Regardless, the trove of equipment and weapons BIDEN abandoned there is enormous.
I refuse to go any farther with this post. Seeing just one picture sends my blood pressure thru the roof. Thanks OBiden, YOU DID THAT!
The are very well armed!
The best equipment available!
I am wondering, who paid for that stuff?
Oh, wait a minute, it was me and the rest of US taxpayers!
Yrump needs to use the video in a campaign ad.
Target rich environment. Just saying.
Yes, good point.
