Although more than two months have passed since the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, the Afghan Taliban have sprinkled salt on U.S. wounds from time to time to remind U.S. troops of their defeats on the Battlefield in Afghanistan. According to a number of foreign media reports, on November 8, local time, the Afghan Taliban organized military personnel to hold a grand military parade in Kandahar, the country's second largest city. It is reported that this is the second time that the Taliban organization has held a military parade since seizing power in Afghanistan, and the last military parade was held in early September this year, and a number of senior commanders of the Taliban organization appeared to watch.
According to the photos of the scene released by foreign media, the weapons equipped by the Taliban organization are arranged on both sides of the road in Kandahar City, and the military personnel of the Taliban organization are dressed in relatively uniform individual soldier costumes and hold various individual soldier equipment, which looks very formal. And the road surface is very clean, which proves that the Taliban organization attaches great importance to the parade. Foreign media analyzed that compared with the military parade held in early September this year, the military parade ceremony has the style of a regular army, and from the pictures transmitted from the scene, the discipline and combat effectiveness of the Taliban organization have been significantly improved.
In this military parade, US-made weapons and equipment are still the biggest highlights. From the photos, the chariots lined up on both sides of the road are the US-made M1117 armored vehicle and the Hummer personnel carrier, which are also the equipment that the Taliban organizations rely on most for the mobilization of military personnel, which has greatly improved the mechanization level of the Taliban organization. The equipment held by the Taliban soldiers is the AR series assault rifle, which is much more advanced than the miscellaneous individual equipment it was equipped with before, and the performance of the US-made individual equipment is much more advanced.
At the end of August this year, the withdrawal of US troops in Afghanistan entered a climax, because the Taliban organization gave priority to the time given, so the WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNITED STATES appears to be very hurried, in order to complete the task of withdrawing troops as soon as possible, the US troops stationed in Afghanistan will abandon some unimportant weapons and equipment, such as Hummer personnel carriers. These equipment can also be bought by the Taliban through the black market, so even if they fall into the hands of the Taliban, they will not cause much harm. According to statistics, when the US troops in Afghanistan withdrew, the number of Humvee personnel carriers left in Afghanistan reached hundreds.
The other part was captured by the Taliban from the Afghan security forces. During the U.S. presence in Afghanistan, the United States provided a large amount of armament to the Afghan security forces, including a variety of advanced armored vehicles and military helicopters. But despite the blessing of U.S.-made equipment, the Afghan security forces were vulnerable, and when the Taliban captured Kabul, the Afghan security forces did not put up much resistance and surrendered to the Taliban, after which the Taliban took over their weapons and equipment.
Analysts said that since the seizure of Kabul in early September, the seizure of power and the announcement of the establishment of the government, the Taliban's government has not been recognized by the international community, and the Taliban organization wants to demonstrate to the United States through a military parade.
