I guess the Taliban needed it more than they did.

It's all about politics

There is no where that the American Embassy leave even their official cars behind or sell any. They either take it back home or crush them because of the security devices that are installed in them.

Sleepy Joe has played into the hands of Taliban. The earlier he is impeached the better for the world

And what option you have besides Kamara Harris afterward?

Modrov:


US did not train or teach Osama all he knew. Osama most likely learned from secular and Islamist terror groups who would have taught him a lot of stuff.

All the US did for the Muhajideen fighters in the 1980s was give them stinger rocket missile launchers which helped them stop Soviet attack helicopters in their tracks.

The Soviets lost in Afghanistan because they did not change their tactics to meet the challenges of the Afghan situation. All their tactics were for European style wages.

The US by the way was not the only backer of the Muhajideen. China, Libya , Pakistan and even Iran backed them

Lol!!!!

China that is an ally of Russia will find The Taliban against their ally? Where did you hear this?
Even India is doubtful. If you any reliable source of this your claim of China and India supporting the Taliban against Russia, kindly provide. I want to learn

That's what they should've done from onset even before leaving the cities. But, of course, they gave out some free machines to the Taliban to keep the war mongering going.

What are u saying ,as long as it is humans or machine that disabled it ,sane will recouple it .It's just a matter of time .

Sleepy joe like chess game. Though there were some miscalculation on exit strategy.
Most equipments left by US directly or through Afghanistan army would be difficult for talibans to use or maintain. America military hardware and software are most expensive to procure or maintain. That is the main reason Ak47 is more popular than M16.
Most uS military gadgets have trackers. Using them will make talibans vulnerable to America electronic surveillance.
It is either talibans sell those equipments or contract American companies to maintain on huge cost and on US terms and conditions.

SUPERPACK:
Una go just dey boast on something you have no control of, what did America do to Taliban that did shit to them? They wasted 20yrs and still lost the war to a ragtag group not even a country o. Even common Libya was hard for them to coordinate. You think war is won by military technology alone or what? If that's the case the Syria war would have been over. The worst enemy you can ever fight is an enemy that is willing to die for a cause, no matter what you do you can't defeat them. A war between China and US will take years of destruction, death and economic loss that will still end in dialogue because they will never give up until the last soldier drops dead.

You're rather the one commenting without proper thinking. The war in Afghanistan was actually to curb Terrorisism and u should know no one can stop Terrorisism in total. China facing US is a different ball game and the Chinese won't even think of it at all. It's not by copying weapons technology and issuing empty threats

I agree China is doing very well for themselves, but they're not yet there. Let's stop blowing things out of proportion for them

who did the palestines takes the land from?

Wait for the next 5 years and see how America will linch again.

They lack basic knowledge which is brain

Nigeria as a case study, of all the resources we have in Nigeria.... hunger and hardship is everywhere

AllahIsDevil:
Taliban will bring them back to life with sharia

As scrap otherwise those planes are DEAD for good

FreeStuffsNG:
There's no such thing in science.Once you can build it, it can be replicated.
The US make these mistakes all the time by underestimating others. If anyone had told them 20 years ago that they will lose the war in Afghanistan, they will not believe it. As we type here, the Chinese now have the strongest navy in the world and they have built better versions of the US artillery.
They should have just destroyed those things . Leaving it is irresponsible and a miscalculation. The Talibans are not stupid. Even if they can't independently rebuild it, they can partner their neighbours Iran, Russia and China to understand these advanced technology through reverse Engineering.
US should wake up, others are not sleeping o. Knowledge and terror business has been democratized

China has the strongest navy? How many aircraft carriers does China have? The Chinese are spending heavily on their military but the US spends more. Under President Xi, China, as the second largest economy in the world, is spending heavily on its armed forces, and upgrading both its military hardware and software because to be a superpower, it must have a strong and sophisticated military. But to say China currently has the strongest navy is overstretching it.

Davash222:
If a brain can Disable them, don't you think another brain can Able them again with the right resources?




I'm beginning to think Biden and Buhari are from the same offspring.

They could get then working, but then you need things like spare parts and technical support. Which the US won't supply them with for obvious reasons.

If you see our deal for the Tucano jets, we not only spent on the jets but also on training and technical support and even buildings for the things.

Right now most of that the Taliban don't have. Either they sell the jets and helicopters for scrap or they just keep them as relics of their victory.

Even if they got their hands on the techincans, some of whom have probably fled, where would they get spares? Remember their cash reserves are now frozen

HornyTave:


War is not mathematics, fact.

same way Israel won the war kf independence and 6 days war with obsolete aircrafts...

Afghanistan is like Northern Nigeria, the people want Shariah law,,,, you can't win an ideology the local people choses.

In summary, Nigeria is wasting its time fighting Boko Haram. That's why the country need to be divided and the northerners can go practice their Taliban way of governance but the easy money from the south is too good to leave and in their little mind they think they can rope the entire country along into their evil sharia system.

Lol... That's what they know how to do best, analyse nonsense on nairaland.

Most folks on Nairaland are idle so come to Nairaland to insult and they don't read serious stuffs, whoever does not know that China has overtaken US naval power obviously lives in the nairaland bubble and should just be ignored

lol. They have once of the most advanced militaries in the world. If they tell you they have permanently disabled their weapons systems, you can bet your nutsack that it is well & truly disabled. The Taliban can scrounge and break them down for parts and scrap, but they will not be mission capable systems. besides, the amount of work that will be required to revive & reverse engineer the leftovers will be better put to use developing their own systems.

Lack of awareness of issues makes one feel wiser than generals whose presence you will not be admitted into.

Clearly, those weapons were being used roght up untill the last minute to ensure the safety of the troops conducting the evacuation.

Now that those troops are gone, who would destroy them?

To blow them up via airstrike or drone strike would mean risking the lives of civilians surrounding the airport. As well as the Taliban, thereby antagonizing an enemy you are trying to build diplomatic relations with.

In short, you are not wiser than the four star generals who made these decisions.

Nigeria government please be aware..... so that they will not repackage them back to Nigeria with our billions of naria

Dem carry TALIBAN HANDICAP

I was referring to the time of the Soviet Afghan war in the 1980s, sir

So for say all this military planes dey fly with all the modern armoured tanks so Afghanistan go defeat Northern Nigerian military under one week

If you recouple hardware, what about software? What about trackers in the hardwares that are being controlled by software? Are you suggesting Taliban/ chinese/Russia hackers will do the magic of unmasking the programming code.

You are on point bro. They think US are foolish for leaving those disabled cars and aircraft parts behind.

It has shown that the Toyota Hilux, AK47 and few resilient mad men is all u need to win a war. Lol

The US believes knowledge begins and ends with them. Their assumption of others daftness nearly makes them think a black man cannot come to the knowledge of shooting gun. If those gadgets can be "demilitarized" as purported, who said they cannot be "re-militarized". They just handed the Taliban a chance to use their heads often than their gun in violent pursuit of their ungodly struggle.

That was not a war planned for. It was a revenge mission and I knew they would surely leave there one day.

Everyone that fights looses and gains something.

The question now is what is the next plan for the US knowing terrorism is on the increase?
Surely, they are wiser than all of us here. I mean in planning and strategy.
