In the latest development in Afghanistan, the Taliban repaired some 300 military vehicles and other American equipment left over by the US forces after their exit from Afghanistan in 2021.
The Taliban have repaired these equipment which was earlier destroyed by the American forces. The Taliban said these vehicles include 150 international Kamaz vehicles, 125 Humvee tanks, 2 Humvee tanks, 4 supply trucks, 10 large and small port cliff vehicles and 15 Humvee ambulances.
Earlier the US Ministry of Defense said in a report that military equipment worth about seven billion dollars was provided by the US to the security and defence forces during the previous Republican government of Afghanistan.
In this report of the US Ministry of Defense, which was sent to Congress, it was said that these devices were sent to Afghanistan in the last 16 years and were given to the former security and defence forces of Afghanistan.
The report also stated that 40,000 of the 96,000 military vehicles belonging to the former armed forces of Afghanistan, including 12,000 bullet-proof Humvee vehicles, have been handed over to the Taliban.
Earlier, an independent watchdog that investigated U.S. military operations in Afghanistan claimed that the US forces left behind billions of dollars in weapons, vehicles and equipment and the Taliban has learned how to use some of it, including aircraft.
The report stated that roughly $7.2 billion in American military equipment was left in Afghanistan. These types of equipment include at least 78 aircraft worth more than $920 million, 40,000 vehicles, more than 300,000 weapons and thousands of air-to-ground munitions.
The United States made a chaotic exit from Afghanistan in August 2021 after several months of preparations. The quick collapse of the Afghan government has raised a number of questions about what went wrong and is a subject of scrutiny in the US Congress.
