LONDON: When the US attracts all of its troops from Afghanistan, a large number of weapons and equipment will be abandoned in this country by the US, a member of the Republican Congress for Indiana Jim Bank has warned.
Banks, former US naval reserves on duty in Afghanistan, is a foreign military sales officer who is at the forefront of obtaining equipment provided by America and submitting to the Afghan army and police.
“It was very painful for me and other Afghan veterans who served in helping Afghanistan.
We now know that because of the negligence of the US government, the Taliban now have access to American military equipment worth more than $ 85 billion.
It includes 75,000 vehicles, more than 200 aircraft and helicopters, and more than 600,000 small weapons and light weapons.
The Taliban now has more black Hawk helicopters from 85% of the country in the world.
They not only have night-vision weapons.
They also have night vision glasses, body armor, supplies Medical, “he said in a speech in Washington.
“It is amazing and unexpected for me and so many other people, is that the Taliban now has a biometric device, which has fingerprints, eye scanning, and biographical information of Afghanistan that help us for the past 20 years,” Banks said.
“This administration still has not planned to get this military equipment back.” As 1,000 British troops get ready to retreat, England understood will also leave some low-level military supplies.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said: “We must start taking English military equipment when we start delaying.
Americans have a clear schedule and we will come out in front of the US.
Obviously we have come up with equipment.
One of the challenges I have is that I am Requires as many hours as possible to get Afghans and British citizens and exchanges are how many kits we take and leave on the ground, or leave or destroy on the ground, so I can have more hours for humanity that contradicts the military.
