They were secondhand dogs, some of them even went tech on delivery from being remanufactured and even the Afghans refused to accept them.

Best thing for them really, I would hate to think of the cost of trying to recover them back out of the country.
The later models the US bought and then put into storage, but have since started to be farmed out to other agencies are a totally different beast to these things.

It was like buying Ford Model T's and expecting Ford to restart spares production for them.
