A dramatic video surfaced on Twitter of a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk (once owned by the US) crashed during a Taliban training exercise in Afghanistan's capital Kabul.
"An American Black Hawk helicopter, which was flown ... for training, crashed due to a technical problem inside the campus of the National Defence University," Ministry of Defence spokesperson Enaytullah Khowrazmi said, quoted by Reuters.

The video appeared on Twitter after the first anniversary of the Biden Administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden not just failed to rescue every American but also left behind a massive stockpile of weapons worth billions of dollars.

Watch the insane video here.

At least one of the 45 Black Hawks the Taliban seized has crashed. The status of the others is unknown.

I give up.
I saw that first video yesterday and didn't have the heart to post it. 3 people died, apparently.

My understanding is much of what was left is rated F5 which means end of service life and multiple failures. They do not have the tech or parts to do required maintenance in any large amount. My understanding is anything good they could torch was torched.

I hope that is correct, but no longer trust anything .gov says as they have no truth in them. I don't think I've ever heard two more incoherent people that Biden and Harris and all the jerks that are covering for them are morally bankrupt liars. I never thought I'd feel that way about our government/media, but unfortunately that is now the case.

Well from my understanding is that the troops destroyed everything they were able to as they evacuated. And there are a lot of advanced gear that troops took home off the books. What was not destroyed was end of life mostly.

In all honesty it is standard practice to leave stuff in theater. It is cheaper than shipping it back. Trump wanted it all returned home. ALL OF IT. I think the rapid pull out was a recognition of the fact that they did not know if they would get removed from office after getting sworn in after the fraud got called. The speed that was pulled out almost made me think they did not know if they could undo what Trump had put into place. And I also think it was not short sightedness, it was more concern that things would get reversed.

Soldiers are great at blowing stuff up so I suspect a good majority of things were blown up. What we were screwed up on was the Afghanistan forces and their stock piles. Most of that equipment that they got was with them not on our bases.

But there is a bigger thing here and that is those equipment pieces will ensure future orders and the potential to install kill chips in things as part of standard maintenance orders.

But really the quipment left was a pay off to China and other groups the biden crime relations were beholden to...

Like the kind the Chinese put in our equipment......that kind.

Surprised the Chinese have not go over there with offers to buy equipment and see if they can put 500 people on it to reverse engineer it in eight months.

Would YOU fly something the Chinkanese have reverse engineered?
I sure wouldn't

No need to. China has fielded their Blackhawk-clone the Harbin Z-20 for years, accurate enough of a copy that parts interchange between US and Chinese versions.

Neither the main rotor nor the tail rotor is moving. Engine is not providing power for some reason (out of fuel?), and the pilot is so inept he hasn't even attempted autorotation to slow the descent.

It almost appears he did the auto at the wrong altitude, like where the vid begins....and then it torqued over to its ultimate death roll.

29 Super Tocanos with all that ammo would be deadly, and a lot easier to fly....spare parts for quite some time.

The Chinese would be most interested in is the Avionics and not so much the helicopter it self.

Wow it makes me feel great that everything was mostly destroyed. Still remember seeing the rooms full of ammo weapons and the ones with money stacked 2-3 feet high that didn’t get destroyed. Also saw videos of mostly destroyed vehicles taking over bagram air base wearing our armored vest carrying our weapons with our helmets. These same (goat herders) have been using Russian leftovers to make ied for years. Can only imagine what they will do with what we left. Sources say they are helping to collapse Pakistan with what we had left then they will have nukes and ballistic rockets.

The "A" model is the original and has analog avionics. Needs a lot of maintenance after every flight. Wil not last long without parts and proper maintenance. All of the equipment left was EOL anyway and not worth bringing back. Let them take out the garbage.

FYI - that video is not a blackhawk. My bad, after looking a little closer it is.

Finally not a lurker!
From experience on Iraq, way too expensive to ship everything back. My concerns about what is left are electronics, light weapons (which may find their way home to gangs via China), ammo, cash...I dunno what else. The Chinese have obtained more things to directly oppose us as well as destabilize us.

You cant get a lot of people into a Black Hawk but with any luck, it crashed landed on a Mosque & had lots of fuel on board.

Maybe some of those JB & Co abandoned are still fighting the fight!

Troops destroyed what they were able. Time tables were too short and it was the offsite allied stuff that got seized i think
