related; dont overlook that all that gear the taliban just lucked into will be reduced to rust inside of 6 months without proper maintenance and they dont have the training or parts or budget to get them.

they would do well to weld plows onto anything that runs and convert every single flat surface in the country into either a saffron plot or a grain farm.
the humvee is a bad-ass vehicle. there will be plenty of them patrolling the streets of Kabul for years to come lest we forget we were ever there too soon. The American M-16 is nothing compared to the Kalishnakov ak47. The American machine gun will last there a long time too. These are pretty sweet but not sure how it compares to Russians. I know little about the other stuff on the list. Just one more indignity for us in facing the national shame that was this war.
