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.
