Taliban fighters continue to uncover weapons caches left behind by Afghan resistance forces in the northeastern province of Panjshir.
On September 17, Afghan activists released a video showing Taliban fighters checking out dozens of Soviet-made V-600 anti-aircraft missiles which were left behind by the resistance in Panjshir. The missiles are the main armament of the S-125 Neva air-defense system.
The missiles are most likely nonoperational. However, they still pose a security risk as their solid fuel and warheads can be used to manufacture explosive devices.

On September 18, several photos showing newly discovered weapons and ammunition caches in Panjshir surfaced online.
One of the caches included dozens of Soviet-made 9K114 Shturm anti-tank guided missiles, which appeared to be operational. These missiles can be used to arm Afghan Mi-24V\35 attack helicopters.

Panjshir forces obtained the V-600 and 9K114 missiles as well as other Soviet-made weapons in the years following the fall of the Soviet-backed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.
Earlier this week, a video revealed that Taliban fighters had uncovered dozens of Soviet-made 9K72 Elbrus short-range ballistic missile and 9K52 Luna-M short-rang artillery rockets in Panjshir. More missiles and rockets were found recently.

The Taliban took over Panjshir after defeating resistance forces on September 6. The whereabouts of resistance leader Ahmed Massoud Jr. remain unknown. Afghan sources claim that he is still fighting in Panjshir.
It remains unclear why these missiles and weapons were not destroyed by US and NATO forces after the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
“It remains unclear why these missiles and weapons were not destroyed by US and NATO forces after the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.”
Possibly because the degenerate investor class from america and britain made trillions of dollars over the last 20+ years from the staged “war on terror” in Afghanistan.
Exactly, yes.
I’d make $12000 / wk growing weed in my basement if my profits didn’t keep going up in smoke.
‘Coz they are in the backyard of their ex-Northern Alliance pals. The Northern Alliance were the ground allies for the US Afghan invasion (bought with CIA cash) and then the NA basically morphed into leading roles in the US created Afghan government. The US weren’t going to go do search and destroy in the traditional territory of their new Afghan pals.

The real story here is that the Afghans managed to film something in landscape mode.
fake news as always from south front
So where is the Great White Hope of the Modi regime media, the so called resistance? Gone up in smoke just like the Ghani regime?
Ghani’s ghost ANA battalions, and MSM’s ghost Panjishir-resistance!
I hate Taliban because they are fully illiterate to both religious and formal education. In 1979 they were created and trained by CIA and pentagon for chaos in the region. They consider and keep women and girls subhumans, slaves and oppress them and interfere in their personal lives. Talibans are another version of Boko Haram terrorists. They would beg for money to rule.
Washington spends lots of money to destabilise the world but no luck. US invaded Afghanistan but then fled from Afghanistan at night time with shameful defeat. They created an anti Venezuela government but failed. They created ISIS State but failed. If you are wicked and killing babies then you cannot win.
Sharia law does not exist in the Quran. From the Quran it is also shown that many prophets lived with their wives without marriages.
Majority of prophets were uncircumcised. The prophet Muhammad hated cicumcission even the prophet Muhammad had never liked to circumcise himself. The prophet Muhammad was kind with children, women, prisoners (slaves) and birds and animals. That is why Islam spread due to him.
