The Taliban celebrate the final withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan as a historic victory. In two weeks, they managed to establish control over all but one of the provinces. In honor of this, victory parades were held throughout the country, during which the Taliban demonstrated American-made weapons.

Today, at victory parades across the country, the Taliban * demonstrated dozens of armored personnel carriers and other American-made weapons.

At the event in the southern city of Kandahar, a Black Hawk helicopter with a Taliban flag even flew over the crowd.

The parades of equipment seized from Afghan troops took place just hours after US President Joe Biden defended his decision to curtail the American presence in the country after two decades.


Islamists are celebrating the final withdrawal of American troops as a historic victory, taking control of all but one of the country's 34 provinces during an incredible two-week offensive.

On Wednesday, a long line of green Humvees and other armored vehicles with white and black Taliban flags was seen on a highway near Kandahar, the spiritual homeland of the militants.

The footage shows a helicopter in the sky, while the militants are waving flags on the ground.

One Black Hawk helicopter was spotted over Kandahar. This suggests that someone from the former Afghan army is at the helm, since the Taliban does not have its own pilots.

* The Taliban is a terrorist organization banned in Russia (ed.)
