The Taliban announced on Wednesday that they have repaired a number of US military equipment which had been made inoperative when the foreign forces withdrew from the country. In the published pictures, US armoured vehicles can be seen.
According to Bakhtar News Agency, a Taliban-affiliated media group, these military vehicles have been repaired by Taliban’s 215 Azam Corps’ technical team.
Taliban’s Ministry of Defense said that the US had destroyed some of its military equipment during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. The US Congress in a report said that after their withdrawal from Afghanistan, they left military equipment worth USD 7 billion in the country.
The United States are mostly concerned about their equipment left in Afghanistan for three reasons, i.e., usage of the military equipment for violent actions by the Taliban; terrorist groups getting access to the equipment; and Russia and China’s access to this advanced equipment, who have close relations with the Taliban.
Earlier, several international organisations have suggested that Taliban may have sought China and Russia’s help for repairing the inoperative equipment.
