The Taliban movement has become one of the most equipped armies of terrorists in the world. They got a huge number of American and Russian weapons, writes the British The Mirror with reference to the ex-commander of British troops in Afghanistan Colonel Richard Kemp.
According to the military, a huge amount of weapons in the hands of the Taliban is concerned, since now it can “everything can turn against the West.” Thus, the militants received the equipment that was delivered by the American military to Afghanistan this year, as well as a technique that was brought from the United States for 20 years. In addition, the Taliban got more hundreds of Russian helicopters.
Media, referring to US reports, writes that Americans left several aircraft in Afghanistan, armored personnel carriers, ammunition and overalls totaling $ 212 million. “To date, the Taliban armed is much better than many official state army,” the British edition notes.
If this equipment is unsuitable for using the Taliban, then it is likely that they send it abroad or other terrorist groups, or for sale in the black market, emphasizes the media.
