These weapons have surfaced in Kashmir as well. Old Joe Biden is a chief weapons supplier for the global jihad.
“U.S. arms left in Afghanistan surface in Pakistan Taliban insurgency,” by Zia Ur Rehman, Nikkei Asia, March 12, 2023:
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Modern weapons and sophisticated night vision devices left behind by U.S.-led coalition forces withdrawing from Afghanistan and fleeing Afghan troops are being used by Pakistani Taliban militants to intensify attacks on law enforcement, police and experts say.
Plagued by an economic crisis, plunging currency and political polarization, Islamabad is also scrambling to contain the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a banned militant group. Emboldened by the Afghan Taliban’s victory, the TTP has essentially gone to war against the Pakistani government.
The group was responsible for 89 attacks across Pakistan in 2022, mainly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to the Pakistan Institute of Peace Studies, an Islamabad-based think tank. That was up slightly from 87 in 2021 despite a roughly four-month cease-fire with Islamabad that was scrapped by the militants late last year.
In some attacks, police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa determined that the TTP militants used advanced weapons and gadgets that had belonged to U.S. or Afghan forces to carry out nighttime ambushes. After one such attack in the suburbs of Peshawar on Jan. 14, Moazzam Jah Ansari, the provincial police chief at the time, revealed that the TTP had conducted a “coordinated” strike using high-tech equipment like thermal weapon sights.
The attackers killed three police officers, including a senior official.
Ansari said that TTP militants had used similar equipment in ambushes in Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu and Lakki Marwat, the most volatile districts in the province. Police statistics show 118 officers were killed in terror attacks in the province in 2022 alone.
U.S.-funded military equipment valued at $7.12 billion was in the possession of the former Afghan government when it fell to the Taliban in August 2021, according to a U.S. Department of Defense report last year.
After February 2022 attacks on two Pakistani military camps in Balochistan province, Pakistan’s then-Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad also claimed that Baloch Liberation Army separatists had used modern weapons left by the U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan.
The Taliban regime in Kabul issued several denials that the TTP and other militant groups had access to the abandoned equipment.
Yet recent TTP propaganda shows militants practicing with modern American-made weapons apparently from the Afghan army, noted War Noir, a weapons and conflict research group. They include M24 sniper rifles, M4 carbines with Trijicon ACOG scopes, and M16A4 rifles with thermal scopes.
Security experts and police officials say that the sophisticated weaponry puts cash-strapped law enforcement agencies at a disadvantage. “By using night vision devices TTP militants can see easily and target police personnel, performing their duties in the dark while policemen cannot see them coming,” said a midlevel police officer in the Dera Ismail Khan district, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
He suggested that the Afghan Taliban may have given some of the spoils of war to the TTP in return for the Pakistani group’s help in recapturing most of Afghanistan in 2021….

That treasonous fiend Joe Biden had ordered the US pullout from Afghanistan that awful action of his that reveals the horrendous folly of his judgement in many wrong and tragic ways. As in, for example allowing the Taliban enemy to have all the state of the art high quality US military equipment.
After all the Americans who died and the many others who had been terrible wounded and over a trillion dollars of wasted American taxpayers money invested in that awful mayhem is also awful.
Another horrible consequence of Biden’s treachery in Afghanistan are all those unvetted Afghan /Muslims now spreading across the United States. If any Americans, in any way are harmed by some those unvetted Afghan “refugees” who might be either criminals or violent jihadists then Biden will have their innocent blood on his wicked hands.
Since the end of August and because of that despicable villain Joe Biden, has betrayed and abandoned many Americans and left them to in Afghanistan to be brutally murdered by the Taliban.

Joe should be imipeached just for this. Remove him from office. The idea that they are going to arrest Trump is laughable. Joe goes on in the lap of luxury while he screws America and the Western World. Out with the bum.
Jim says
Joe has made America a laughing stock. All the evil countries and movements, the terror groups, communists and Islamists look down and despise us. And all thanks to him. He can make all the jokes he wants, whisper and shout and his whole repertoire. He is not even funny enough for SNL. He would be booed as a nightclub act. Why does this have to go on to the bitter end. He should resign for the good of the country.

“He should resign for the good of the country.”
100% agree – but he won’t.
Leftists love power, just like jihad Trudeau.

Nothing new here. In US withdrawals from Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, huge amounts of arms and identifying data of US collaborators and friends were left for the opposing enemies… If Spencer and Horowitz were less partisan, this JW news comment blog might have relevance to historical information. Sadly a failed site.

I agree.

Now the Taliban of Pakistan have much of that high quality United States military weapons as well as night vision devices because of that treacherous President pretender , Joe Biden.
First the Taliban of Afghanistan obtain all that state of the art US, American taxpayer military paid for equipment because of the disastrous rash and too quick withdrawal orders of pseudo ‘president” Biden, then the Pakistani Taliban have a lot of it since the Taliban jihadist in Afghanistan were very will to share the US military weapons with their “Muslim jihadist brothers” of Pakistan.
Biden sure likes to aid the support our jihadist enemies..
When American dies as well as other people because of all this ,that fiendish villain ,Joe Biden will have the blood of many innocent people on his wicked hands.
The former US President, Theodore Roosevelt , was right when he spoke about all of the different men who had been or would be the President of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt’s statement most also strongly alliy to Biden who in sitting in the White House masquerading as a genuine US President.
Mr. Roosevelt wrote that he believed that such men “should be sharply watched by the people [and] held to a strict accountability by them.”
Indeed , Joe Biden should be called into account for his man horrendously horrific actions and orders.

Many have already died – and many will die in the future.

Is it true that Trump has agreed a date to withdraw from Afghanistan
which was earlier than the date that they actually left ?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, thank you Gen Millie! Another major failure of President Trump in not firing him the first time Gen Millie suggested leaving all that hardware in Afghanistan
