And?
They have captured fleets of Toyotas, Humvees, heavy artillery, and who knows what else, so why even bother doing a whole article about a clapped out old T 55? Especially since it’s not as though they’ve never operated tanks before, as even the puppet child sex slaver Quisling warlord regime of the US citizen Ashraf Ghani admits?
A lot of people are interested in tanks. The T-55 has a nice shape. The more pictures, the better.
Ain´t that hard to put shells in a cannon and drive the vehicle over everithing that is on their front. It will take them not more than 5-10 shots to precision and be able of doing a huge damage all over.
Is there something significant to “capturing” an relic from the Cold War? Not really seeing how this is an important article.
It has certain symbolic significance – as Taliban literally rode aboard captured/legacy T-55’s into power in Kabul in late 1990’s. So has a sort of rinse and repeat symbolism attached to it.
No? Mobile artillery and ask if americans left anti-tank missiles.
„The Taliban tighten“ is correct English, drop the s. Taliban is plural. Also collective nouns are constructed as plural in English, e.g. „the police are…“, not „is“.
Other than that: the US ‚supports‘ both sides, their bombing only damages civilian infrastructure. The plan is, as always, to let the situation deteriorate, so that, in the end, the cavalry will ride in to ‚save‘ the country. Same old playbook.
