SMASH & GRAB : TALIBAN fighters have seized £62BILLION worth of military equipment from Western forces including state-of-the-art helicopters and armoured vehicles as troops scrambled to withdraw from Afghanistan.

An eye-watering amount of US military inventory is now in the hands of the terror group after they surged across the war-torn nation in a matter of weeks, plundering stocks of weapons and vehicles.

The Taliban now has access to billions of pounds worth of equipment, including identification devices that could alarmingly help them identify Afghans who helped coalition forces - many of whom remain stranded in Kabul.

According to US Republican Congressman Jim Banks - who served in Afghanistan as an officer in charge of supplying weapons -
The group now has "more Black Hawk helicopters than 85 per cent of the countries in the world".

"Due to the negligence of this administration, the Taliban now has access to $85billion (£62billion) worth of military equipment," he said.

"Unbelievably, and unfathomable to me and so many others, the Taliban now has access to biometric devices.

"This administration still has no plan to get this military equipment or supplies back."

With an estimated 85,000 soldiers, the Taliban managed to break the back of the much larger 300,000-strong Afghan Army.

And with each seized barracks and plundered military depot, the Taliban's arsenal only grew as they obtained new toys abandoned by the surrendering Afghans.

Taliban militants now have their hands on hundreds of fixed-wing aircraft and tactical helicopters, tens of thousands of armoured vehicles, as well as hundreds of thousands of weapons.

They have also stolen military gear, swapping sandals and shalwar kameez for combat boots and tailored camouflage uniforms, with fighters also seen donning advanced helmets.

A UK Army officer told the Mail: "I'm impressed, yes they have got all the gear but judging by appearances they may have some idea too.

"The Taliban have got a plan, high morale, proper equipment and they're winning."

Jake Sullivan, US National Security Advisor, conceded he does not have a "complete picture" of how much military inventory could now be in the Taliban's arsenal.

'WORST TERROR THREAT'
It comes after experts warned Britain is facing its worst terror threat in many years after the Taliban take over of Afghanistan.

The warning comes as Boris Johnson has suggested the UK would deal with the fanatics in return for them not allowing Afghanistan to be used as a base for terrorism.

When the Taliban first ruled the country, they allowed Al-Qaeda to use it to establish training camps and plot terror, including the 9/11 attacks.

That ultimately led to their downfall when they refused to hand over Osama bin Laden to the Americans, prompting them to invade along with the UK in a bid to capture the terror mastermind.

The Taliban have promised not to allow the same thing to happen again but experts are sceptical they will keep their word and that once again, the UK faces terror plots hatched in Afghanistan.

Colonel Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, told Times Radio the UK faced “the greatest danger from terrorism since the Islamic State at its height”.

He said the threat could even be greater than that posed by ISIS and Britain is facing an “extremely dangerous” situation.

As planned...i fear who no fear international politics.

No Taliban didn't steal the weapons. It was left for them by Joe Biden and his partners in crime. No sane president on earth will evacuate the way Biden did and leave behind high tech weapons for the enemy. They'll either evacuate all the weapons or destroy them as the need may be.
No one leave behind weapons for the enemy. The entire world will reap the consequences of Biden's disastrous Afghanistan evacuation plan.

They are planning to destroy Southern Nigeria so that they can steal oil.

They should use it and stop disturbing us with show off!

Something they won't be able to operate except the guns

Terrorists

E be many things

Maintenance don't come cheap......

Awon Mohammedans oshi

That will still end their destruction over time cos they can't maintain those weapons. Again, this will tell you that Afghanistan soldiers are tacitly in support of the Talibans. They support Islamic terrorism of the Talibans.

Because there's no how on earth a military workforce of 300000 men with these black hawks and assorted mercenaries will be defeated by a rag tag 10000 Talibans.

so dey av alot of massive toys to play with now..

Mheen

Awon ole barawo.



Islam & hypocrisy is like the lifeless bigot in Aso Rock & shock.

These weapons were left by the US for AFGHAN soldiers. If after 20 years I train you, supply and source for you and you still can't defend yourself you are on your own.

Well, if they have chips controlling them, they can all be neutralised remotely

Left for them,not stolen.

Na wa oo. You went to war in the first place to fight terrorists but now have left them with more sophisticated weapons and resources they could ever imagine to terrorise and cause more havoc. Don't be surprised if some of these weapons find their way to ISIS, Al Shabab even Boko Haram. The Taliban might simply start selling to them, making a business out of it.

Taliban is the same thing as Afghan Army.
Just as Nigerian arm forces is the same as Boko Haram .

How on Earth would 85,000 less equiped army defeat 300,0000 well trained and equiped Afghan forces?
