Burning bridges: US Army in Afghanistan destroys its equipment
Most of the classified equipment will be shipped back to the United States.
“And this is not what they call flight, but “a dignified and responsible way out”, journalist Mikhail Sheinkman writes in a telegram channel.
“The US Army, leaving Afghanistan, leaves behind not only a foreign land, but also its military equipment, burned out”.
To date, the US military has already destroyed almost 1.5 thousand units of special equipment and technology. Some examples of what was destroyed are also named. It turned out that we are talking about the components of computer systems and communication centers, which “it was not possible to dismantle without causing damage.”
At the same time, all the same, some equipment: helicopters, vehicles, ammunition and weapons, as well as a number of military bases, American employees will give to Afghanistan.
“They take something with them, and give something to the government troops. And that which cannot be repaired or taken away, the Americans destroy on the spot. So that the militants do not get it. Which they seem to have won. Under one and a half thousand units of combat equipment have already been disposed of. Some, perhaps under the guise of recycling, were sold. At the same time, the Pentagon declares that the exit from Afghanistan is unimpeded. And, why hinder him, if they smash themselves. Burning bridges. Even at the wheels”, – Sheinkman summed up.
