After the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, a large number of weapons and military equipment remained there. The US military left the Taliban with the "best in the world" weapons worth more than $85 billion.
This was stated by former President of the United States Donald Trump.
- said the ex-leader of the country.
Trump explained that he sees nothing wrong with the very fact of the withdrawal of troops, because the former "leader of the free world" himself was his supporter. The ex-president, in preparation for the evacuation of American troops, even reduced the contingent in Afghanistan to two thousand people. He considers the organization of this process, which was incompetently planned and conducted by the Joe Biden administration, shameful.
The former head of the United States also recalled that, leaving Afghanistan, 13 American soldiers were killed.
- his press service quotes Trump as saying.
A year ago, the Taliban movement (an extremist organization banned in Russia) came to power in Afghanistan. Then the US Armed Forces left the country in such a hurry that they left 48 units of combat aircraft there in excellent condition, as well as other military equipment. As a result, the Taliban have become the owners of so many combat aircraft and helicopters, which many US NATO allies do not have.
