Equipment Left Behind
According to USA Today, equipment left behind for the Taliban to take includes 70 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, 27 Humvees, 73 aircraft (including Apache helicopters costing $30 million each), and countless small arms. According to the Wall Street Journal, there were over 600,000 small arms sent to the country, so any number of these could have been left for the Taliban.
