The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in the Taliban disposing of billions of dollars worth of military equipment.

“Most of the US and Afghanistan’s military equipment at the Kabul Airport was destroyed by the US military before they left Kabul,” Fox News’ Trey Inst reported in September. "This is not the case in other parts of Afghanistan. The Taliban now have thousands of Humvees, aircraft and other important military equipment in their hands."

They called on the Pentagon to provide detailed information about the equipment still in use in the country.

The lawmaker said in the letter: "It is unreasonable for the high-tech military equipment paid by the U.S. taxpayers to fall into the hands of the Taliban and its terrorist allies." One of the top tasks of the Ministry."
