I do not have a link, sorry.  NBC had a foreign reporter, using pretty good English report that all the Blackhawks and MD 'Five Hundred Thirties' were 'Damaged' and all the pickups and other vehicles were 'Damaged' He did get the models right even though they come out a little cockeyed to an American Ear.  I probably would have said "Sabotaged" instead of damaged, but he got the point across that the equipment was not drivable or flyable,

Made me a smidge happier.

When their commercials are more believiable than the news they make up.

I saw another report that showed all of the helicopters had the blades removed and shipped out. The 530's had the engines removed. The Cessna 208's (Caravan's) had the engines removed and sent home. Most easily removed electronics were removed and all Military related avionics and secret squirrel stuff was removed. From there, the aircraft were damaged so not to ever be returned to service. Same with most of the ground vehicles. I'm in no way a fan of how this came down but looks like the Military did the best they could to disable the equipment. Also read a report that the info about the guns and ammo was BS. That apparently all left. Who knows?

Consider the news source .  Were it true there would have been videos, talking heads giving news conferences and this administration beating their chests.  I think we will hear the WH military talking heads begin to address something similar to the OP post if the resign or impeach argument  begins to heat up.  In a more sinister role for this administration perhaps  the equipment was payoff for Taliban corporation.
