New York, Friday, August 27, 2021

The Biden administration's decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan has drawn worldwide criticism, while the Republican Party at home has not missed a single opportunity to lash out at the US government.

A former army officer tasked with training Afghan soldiers and police in 2014-15 has revealed a lot of explosive information while addressing a press conference in recent days and a video clip of his press conference went viral on social media. .

According to the official, US military officials in Afghanistan have spent about Rs. 6.40 lakh crore (85 85 billion) worth of weapons have been dumped in the US and all these weapons have now fallen into the hands of the Taliban, America's enemy.

Surprisingly, the Biden government currently has no plans on how to withdraw these weapons, planes and helicopters from the Taliban, he said.

The official said the US military had left 75,000 different types of guns, 200 air-planes and helicopters and 6 lakh small and light automatic weapons in Afghanistan.

Regarding the number of Black Hawk helicopters deployed by the US military in Afghanistan, the official said that the Taliban have more Black Hawk helicopters than 85 per cent of the world's countries today.

In addition to weapons and aircraft, helicopters, the US military has also dropped night vision cameras and a large number of armored vehicles in Afghanistan. The most alarming thing, according to the official, is that US military officials have left behind a biometric device and system in Afghanistan that contains biometric data of Afghan civilians helping US and NATO forces in addition to local Afghans. The device includes eye scans, fingerprints of local Afghan nationals.

"In the coming days, if any American civilian or soldier is killed or injured by the Taliban, it will mean that our own civilians or soldiers have been killed with our own weapons," the official said.
