[Watch] Taliban Fly American Chopper With Body Hanging From Rope After US Exit

Soon after their hasty exit on Tuesday, the US military said that it has disabled 73 aircraft, 27 Humvees, weapons systems and other high-tech defence equipment before boarding the final flight.

Within hours of the withdrawal of the US troops from Kabul airport, the Taliban entered the premises and examined the Chinook choppers and other defence equipment left behind by the US Army. Videos showed the Badri 313 Battalion fighters examining the helicopters.

Later, after the Taliban fighters took control of the Kabul airport, videos emerged showing the Talibs racing cars and other vehicles on the Kabul airport runway. The Taliban leaders symbolically walked on the runway to declare victory after the 20 years of war in Afghanistan.

Another video shared by news agency AFP showed scores of US military choppers, aircraft and other defence systems lying idle in the hangars of the Kabul airport as the Badri 313 fighters walk around.

Before dawn broke, heavily armed Taliban fighters walked through hangars, passing some of the seven CH-46 helicopters the US State Department used in its evacuations before rendering them unflyable, the report added.
