The Afghan Forces and Police were left with 85 billion usd worth of kit consisting of :-
1/ Over 200 Aircraft
2/ 75,000 vehicles
3/ 600,000 small arms and ammunition
4/ 16,000 night vision goggles
5/ Body Armour
And
6/ Biometric kit complete with the biometric data of every Afghan Forces member trained in the last 20 years!
Apparently, no plans in how to retrieve any of this kit.
Words fail me! 😡
Defense planning seems to be a lost art. Accountability went some time previous.
That said, with winter coming on and obvious internal fissures surfacing, a much more serious tragedy seems inevitable.
How will people get food in a city of 4 million given the ongoing chaos?
