LET NO ONE EVER SAY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DID NOT PROPERLY EQUIP THE AFGHAN NATIONAL ARMY [ANA] TO FIGHT. HARDLY. GEAR AS PROVIDED THE QUANTITY JUST EXTRAORDINARY.
From a variety of sources:
1. "Here’s all the US military equipment that likely ended up in Taliban hands"
"A windfall for the Taliban."
"windfall noun: 2: an unexpected, unearned, or sudden gain or advantage"
2 "The Taliban is flaunting captured U.S. weapons that may be worth billions. Can it use them?"
4. "Taliban Got Huge Amount of Weapons, Including Over 100 MANPADS: Russian Defense Minister"
"MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Taliban* got a huge amount of weapons after taking over Afghanistan, including more than a hundred man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), and this poses a threat, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday."
MANPADS those pea-shooter shoulder-fired, one-man anti-aircraft missiles. Probably of the Stinger variety. Deadly and possibly now in the hands of the highest-bidder terrorist group. If not now soon will be.
