Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on the YouTube channel Solovyov LIVE that after the US military left Afghanistan, the Taliban* got more than 100 Javelin portable anti-tank missile systems.
“If they say that“ javelins ”have been delivered to Ukraine from the United States, I don’t remember, maybe a few dozen, then there are more than a hundred of them here. It was simply not delivered, but simply passed into the hands”, the minister said.
Shoigu also noted that the main threats and risks of Afghanistan are drugs and a large number of weapons, in particular portable high-precision – portable anti-aircraft missile systems and anti-tank guided missiles.
After leaving Afghanistan, the US mission left $ 85 billion worth of weapons there, according to US Navy Reserve Supply Corps Lieutenant and Member of the House of Representatives Jim Banks.
