Official Kabul intends to keep the weapons and military equipment of the Americans for themselves when the US withdraws from Afghanistan

Official Kabul hopes that the American military contingent and NATO countries, when leaving Afghanistan, will leave the Afghan army with military equipment and weapon to confront the militants of the Taliban movement (banned in Russia).

The Afghan Defense Ministry is counting on the military equipment of Western countries, which will remain after they leave the country. According to a military official, weapons and equipment are "necessary" for the Afghan army to fight the Taliban. Kabul expects the US and NATO to leave everything to government forces.



At the moment, it is not known how the command of the US mission will react to such a request, because there has not yet been an official appeal from the Afghan authorities, while only intentions to make it are expressed. But in Kabul, they are already saying that the authorities will ask the United States to officially transfer weapons and equipment to them. But there is no information about whether the Americans themselves are ready to leave their weapons in Afghanistan.

It is possible that the United States will leave to the Afghans some of the weapons left in the country after the end of the operation of the international forces in 2014, but the US military equipment in Afghanistan is small and it is equipped with technologies that the Americans are unlikely to want to transfer into the hands of the Afghans.

Meanwhile, a number of Western experts have already stated that after the US withdraws from Afghanistan, the government will not last long without foreign support and will be ousted by the Taliban. Whether with American technology or without it, the government forces will not retain power, especially since the Taliban actually rule in half of the provinces.

          The strongest rules.

          There is no other way.
          Now the Americans are the strongest in Afghanistan.
          They rule.

          Mattresses will go away, others will rule.

          Who exactly will show time.

          The states are leaving Afghanistan not because they want to. They urgently need troops in Europe, otherwise there may be disobedience from their assertive policy.
          And they really need equipment in Europe ...

          Usually, after the withdrawal of troops from the area of ​​hostilities, the Americans transfer part of the worn-out equipment to the Allies at the cost of delivery. Usually the technique is quite worn out, for example, out of 2-3 Hummers, one is obtained.

            Here they have a fork drawn.
            They will not leave the Kabulis people in a pancake in a year or a year and a half. In this case, the mattresses run the risk of lowering their shabby image even more, as they threw their allies to be torn apart. Other "allies" will ponder.
            Leave it - then the Kabulis will be rolled into the same pancake, but in one and a half, two years and all the equipment left behind (which will not be burned) will go to the Taliban, which will be perceived as an unintentional weapon of terrorists and will again hit the image of mattresses. Whatever one may say, but any decision will be against the United States.

              rather about a year anyway. American collaborators have no one to fight. ideas capable of motivating someone to defend this American bastard, they do not have and are not foreseen. The "fighting efficiency" of the Afghan government units is already covered with glory.

                I agree that I gave them enough time and the capture of Kabul will take place in a much shorter time, but the essence is the same - no matter how the mattresses act, it will turn against them. Yes

                  well, not that directly against them. they would leave from there, and the rest of the NATO members immediately realized that without the United States it smelled like burning and began to roll up.
                  the pro-American authorities should think about how to dump with the occupiers in the convoy, and not about leaving the tanks for them .... this is with regard to the upcoming events.
                  in a long time period it is more interesting. Alqaida and ISIS have already grown on the basis of the Taliban (of course, banned on the territory of the Russian Federation! wassat ). what will grow up there now remains a question, but in the long term this new formation, which has absorbed the experience of its predecessor, can do a lot and not only in the United States.

                    Here, as if everything is a little different. Alkaida was created with mattresses to counter the USSR in Afghanistan, i.e. much earlier than the Taliban. The Taliban are a product of Pakistan. ISIS was created in Iraq and its backbone were Iraqi officers and military personnel who were left out of work after the defeat in the "Desert Storm". When signing an agreement with the Taliban, the mattresses set the condition that they would not allow Alqaida to turn around, and the Taliban considered the ISIS to be the same invaders as the mattresses and kicked out at every opportunity, therefore their grouping in Afghanistan is estimated from 3 to 5 bayonets. The mattresses did not manage to form any significant force against the Taliban out of these bearded men. As for whether what will grow there now, then it may well turn out to be a merger into the Taliban Alqaida, or into the Alkaid Taliban, which will cut out the pro-American Kabulis and ISIS. In short, that still snake tangle, which, as you rightly noted - (of course, prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation! Wassat)

                      yes, perhaps this is the most likely option, but it means pro-Iranian Afghanistan.

                        There, two main players are drawn - Iran and Pakistan + China can come in with money because he has not bad relations with both, but in this wedding we can probably only look after and react to the fact that the Taliban would not get into Central Asia. The care of mattresses will definitely be marked by the stirring of regional countries and movement throughout the region. hi

        It is necessary in the sense of the near future without the US and NATO in Afghanistan - to cover Tajikistan and the Fergana Valley from the penetration of the Mujahideen there. Otherwise, Kyrgyzstan will have to be scratched out of the tenacious hands of the bearded, and no one is looking for Ishil there, but it is clearly there too.

            In my opinion, our border guards were removed from Tajikistan in vain.
            But the situation will worsen on the border with Afghanistan, and sooner or later it will be necessary to resolve the issues of penetration there. And there will be no time for laughter and smirks.

          Why would the Taliban ... buy, change? They will simply cut the current leadership like rams.

        There are many options.
        For example, there are American PMCs there. Several thousand people. Not a word is said about their withdrawal, these are fighters of the "gray zone", mercenaries. And Eric Prince will be very happy to receive weapons, as will a number of commanders close to the Washington establishment.

        Secondly, the removal of equipment by military transport aviation is an extremely costly undertaking. For one Abrams with its 60+ tons, a whole aircraft will need no less than a Globmaster S-17 (max. Payload 77,5 tons). And armored cars, a rifleman, ammunition ... It's easier to leave a lot. To whom - another question.

        Part, of course, can be transferred to the Poles and other "Tabaki" to Europe, self-pickup. Or with payment.

        Again, transferring to the Afghan side can be very beneficial. If military property was removed from the government's disposal as a result of its overthrow by the Taliban, and de facto fell into the hands of PMCs or controlled militants, then its discovery in Syria or other countries after the sale will not cast a shadow on the "world stronghold of democracy" ...

        So the Taliban will be sold more expensive territory and warehouses of equipment and weapons with them. The Taliban will enter Kabul without a fight.
        There, only on the Americans, everything was fragile in the sense of their puppet government.
        And the Taliban are a movement that has embraced the masses of the population tired of the intervention.

        Well, they will leave the US equipment and weapons, but we know that the Afghans respect Soviet weapons. It is unpretentious, reliable and familiar.
        And then M-16, M-4, M-60 (machine gun) and other M-21 (all of the stale ones may be left), but over time all this will dissolve and the Soviet / Chinese will remain in clones.
