Final account of USA military equipment and cash left behind in Afghanistan per GAO Report

June 30, 2023

Thanks to the Government Accountability Office, we now have a clear picture of just how much U.S. military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, thanks to Joe Biden's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let's have a look…

Aircraft:The Taliban now ranks #26 in the world in total military aircraft, thanks to us leaving behind

208 planes and helicopters:> 110 helicopters

60 transport/cargo planes

20 light attack planes

18 intelligence/surveillance planes

Vehicles:You've probably seen the footage of the Taliban riding around in our humvees.

We left a total of 75,898 vehicles:

42,604 tactical vehicles

22,174 humvees

8,998 medium tactical vehicles

1,005 recovery vehicles

928 mine-resistant vehicles

189 armored tanks

Weapons: Get ready for this…

599,690 of our weapons are now in the hands of the Taliban:

358,530 rifles

126,295 pistols

64,363 machine guns

25,327 grenade launchers

12,692 shotguns

9,877 RPGs

2,606 howitzers

And you can throw in a couple thousand night-vision goggles, surveillance drones, and communication devices on that list.

Price tag: In total, it adds up to nearly $84 billion dollars in tax-payer-funded U.S. military equipment.
Probably not 2024 dollars either

According to interweb $1 in the year 2000 would be $1.78 today

$1 in 2010 today would be $1.48

$84 buh x 1.78 = $149.52 buh

$84 buh x 1.48 = $124.32 buh
