The Taliban have taken control of all of Afghanistan in just two weeks ever since American forces left the country. The offensive carried out by this terrorist group has produced the collapse of the Afghan national army and the flight of the government. Currently only the Kabul International Airport, the capital of the country, is in the hands of NATO. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Spain are withdrawing their diplomatic corps.
The lightning campaign launched by the Taliban, on many occasions agreed to with surrenders, has caused tons of military material to fall into their hands. Among this material there are thousands of assault rifles, armored vehicles and aircraft all types. Afghanistan had American, Russian and even Brazilian vehicles. Now all this is in the hands of the new Islamic authorities who have not hesitated to photograph themselves with it.
Russian material comes primarily from the 1990s, of the former Soviet aid to the country. Helicopters, AK assault rifles and RPG rocket launchers. In recent weeks this material has been joined by the captured Afghan national troops. Almost everything produced in the United States with M4 and M16 rifles in different variants. We will have to wait and see if the vehicles that have managed to flee to other countries are returned to the new authorities.
The Taliban have just captured up to one T-34. What the poor man will have seen. pic.twitter.com/mwofSFKb0t
