White House says a ‘fair amount’ of US military equipment provided to Afghans is now in Taliban hands

[excalibur]

This includes Black Hawk helicopters that Biden sent them.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Tuesday a “fair amount” of military equipment the U.S. provided the Afghan National Security Forces was seized by the Taliban in the militant group’s quick route of Afghanistan.


“We don’t have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone,” Sullivan said at a White House press briefing, “but certainly a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban. And obviously, we don’t have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.”

...

After seizing control of Afghanistan, the Taliban released photos of U.S. Black Hawk military helicopters at the Kandahar International Airport that the U.S. had provided the Afghan army.

“Those Black Hawks were not given to the Taliban. They were given to the Afghan National Security Forces for them to defend themselves,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan said former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani requested the helicopters during a White House visit with President Joe Biden in June.

“So the president had a choice. He could not give it to them, with the risk that it would fall into the Taliban’s hands eventually,” Sullivan said, “or he could give it to them, with the hope that they could deploy it in service of defending their country. Both of those options had risks.”

White House says a ‘fair amount’ of US military equipment provided to Afghans is now in Taliban hands​

TRANSLATION: a BUTT LOAD of US military equipment is now owned by the Taliban, and the Biddum Administration made no contingency with the Taliban that if that happened and we didn't get it back, no deal.

Biddum is the Selected Surrenderer.

just like with Iran.

I imagine the Taliban will now need flying lessons that the manufacturers will provide for a hefty fee.

Like we said before....the Taliban is thanking hugely Biden and the woke moron, General Milley for all the arms left behind.

What they are liking particularly are the helicopters and black hawks.

WOW they are loving those!!!!!

 

[Lesh]

That's what happens when you support a corrupt incompetent unpopular regime for 20 years.

By the way...virtually none of this is high tech (prop job planes?) and all of it is "surplus" at this point

That's another lying understatement coming Sullivan and Kirby. Vast amounts of equipment from drones, planes helicopters, MRAPS, rockets and heavy machine guns have been captured along with armored vests and night seeing equipment.
