The Taliban has captured a staggering 700 trucks and Humvees from Afghan security forces as well as dozens of armored vehicles and artillery systems in June alone, according to an investigation report quoted by The Sun.
The publication said some images posted on social media were investigated .
And that in turn implies huge volumes of military equipment donated or sold to Afghanistan to help it fight the Taliban may instead continue pouring into that very group’s hands.
The tally comes from an open-source investigative report published at the Oryx blog by Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans.
The blog was earlier distinguished for its detailed open-source investigation on equipment losses in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The continuously updated tally has catalogued hundreds of photos posted online by the Taliban showing captured Afghan military equipment.
