For decades, Taliban militants have fought American war planes and armoured vehicles with mostly Kalashnikovs, improvised explosives and ground missiles....
"We provided our Afghan partners with all the tools — let me emphasise: all the tools, training, and equipment of any modern military," said US President Joe Biden last month while defending his decision to withdraw American forces and leave the fight to the Afghan army.
Those weapons are now being brandished across Taliban social media as fighters pose with American-made rifles and vehicles are seen loaded with heavy weapons and mounted with artillery guns.
