The US military, in the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan, is destroying equipment that will not be exported to the United States or transferred to the Afghan army. This was reported by the Associated Press on May 10.
Basically, the secret equipment that the Americans did not intend to leave in Afghanistan is redirected to the United States. Some items, including helicopters, military vehicles, ammunition and weapons, as well as a number of bases, will be transferred to the Afghan army.
Equipment that cannot be repaired or for some other reason transferred to the Afghan army or sent to the United States is destroyed so that it does not fall into the hands of militants operating in the country. According to the US military, more than 1.3 thousand pieces of equipment have been destroyed so far.
On May 8, it was reported that the United States ' NATO allies insist on delaying the withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan.
The official representative of the US Department of Defense, John Kirby, said on May 3 that the process of withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan will go smoothly. So, the representative of the Pentagon recently did not mention anything that could affect the withdrawal of troops or the US mission in the country.
On April 14, US President Joe Biden announced that the United States will begin withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan from May 1. At the same time, as previously assumed, by this date, the US military in full force had to leave.
In April, Biden's national security aide, Jake Sullivan, said that Washington had achieved the goals set at the beginning of the operation in Afghanistan in 2001, which, he added, were to investigate the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001.
