The attack helicopter flies a Taliban flag as it passes over supporters in Kandahar

how and when did they get trained to fly blackhawks? how did they transition so seamlessly from mules and toyotas to hummers and helicopters?

The US says the aircraft have been demilitarized.

Central Command head General Kenneth McKenzie said 73 aircraft were “demilitarised”, or rendered useless, by US troops before they wrapped up the two-week evacuation of the Taliban-controlled country.​

I do think they may have used the ultra loud evacuation as an excuse to damage the US hardware as much as possible as by then the Ashraf Ghani Government had already collapsed.

Makes sense. But this video has gone viral, with people claiming Taliban are hanging someone. I doubt they would waste precious fuel when a shot in the head would have done the job.

Speaking of Taliban flying choppers, don't forget a lot of Afghan soldiers defected to them. Some with good training--and intelligence about a lot of things. Besides, Taliban almost certainly have foreign backers to fill in gaps in technical matters.

you see my assertion is that they installed the talis, forced ANA to surrender/hand over war materiel to the talis etc and ordered Ghani to eff-off. I say that Afghanistan still is under American rule and we'll have to wait a few months to see it clearly.

can you imagine around 60 k riflemen beating nearly 300k well-armed men with armor without any fighting? I cannot. had they not been under orders they could have crushed them by just running over them with their hummers.

I know someone is gonna come and tell me that the talis were armed with the might of eeman. that is what Pakistani "journos" like imran riaz khan, sabir shakir, bhati and maqbool jan are saying.

300k? 200K+ were ghosts! 75k taliban were confronted at max by 100K and those too spread out, isolated, without supplies and hungry ANA soldiers.
