HearEmaGrowlin Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Final account of USA military equipment and cash left behind in Afghanistan. Thanks to the Government Accountability Office, we now have a clear picture of just how much U.S. military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, thanks to Joe Biden's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let's have a look... Aircraft: The Taliban now ranks #26 in the world in total military aircraft, thanks to us leaving behind 208 planes and helicopters: 110 helicopters 60 transport/cargo planes 20 light attack planes 18 intelligence/surveillance planes Vehicles: You've probably seen the footage of the Taliban riding around in our Humvees. We left a total of 75,898 vehicles: 42,604 tactical vehicles 22,174 Humvees 8,998 medium tactical vehicles 1,005 recovery vehicles 928 mine-resistant vehicles 189 armored tanks Weapons: Get ready for this... 599,690 of our weapons are now in the hands of the Taliban: 358,530 rifles 126,295 pistols 64,363 machine guns 25,327 grenade launchers 12,692 shotguns 9,877 RPGs 2,606 howitzers And you can throw a couple thousand night-vision goggles, surveillance drones, and communication devices on that list as well. Price tag: In total, it adds up to nearly $84 billion dollars in tax-payer-funded U.S. military equipment. Source: GAO analysis of Department of Defense data. Joe Biden just funded an army of terrorists in Afghanistan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild74 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 If they did leave that much it will be hard for those wack jobs to maintain, on the other hand with this administration they will probably send maintenance people over to help them and pay for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Biden just funded an army of terrorists in Afghanistan. This looks like what was circulated in 2021. The media claims it was more around $10b in useable assets and the rest was dematerialized and most of the money spent was due to training over the life of our occupation there. I’d guess the number is probably more towards the middle of these 2 numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
