U.S Planes Flee Afghanistan In Nice Tight Formations

Well considering they do not have the fuel capacity for a transatlantic flight, keep up the fear mongering.....

I supported a refueling wing.....

So aside from selling the planes, equipment and the technology therein to China, Iran, Russia, etc. the only thing they could do with the planes would be to fly them into buildings in the neighborhood? I think they got some C-130's. (?)

I hate to agree with PL, but the reason that the towers came down was because the planes had just taken off from Boston headed to California nonstop. They were therefore chock a block full of fuel. Short hop to NYC and they've still got a ton of fuel.

Look at a map. Take off from Kabul, where are you going to go? You're going to have to go a hell of a long way to hit a building of a country that's aligned with the U.S.

How much military equipment was left in Afghanistan? The US helicopters and arms now under Taliban control

It includes 75,000 vehicles, 200 aeroplanes and helicopters, and 600,000 small arms, according to former US Navy reservist Jim Banks.

“The Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85 per cent of the countries in the world,” he told The Telegraph.

“Unfathomable to me and so many others, the Taliban now has biometric devices which have the fingerprints, eye scans and biographical information of all the Afghans who helped us and were on our side in the last 20 years.”

I am reminded of what happened to the USS Cole:

Terrorist Attack on USS Cole (October 12, 2000)

https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/t/terrorist-attack-on-uss-cole-background-and-issues-for-congress.html

The Cole (DDG-67) is an Aegis-equipped Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class destroyer. It was one of four DDG-51s procured in FY1991 at an average cost of about $789 million per ship.

Repairs to bombed Cole could cost $150 million

The terrorists used a SMALL BOAT and nearly sank the Cole.

These guys put the "a" in "asymmetric warfare".

While "some" (?) of the gear left behind "may" (they tell us) have been disabled, with all of the military gear left that Bungling Biden has given the Taliban, I ask again:

What could go wrong?

Good point(s)!
