Ghost_MH Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 16 minutes ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: This was a very pragmatic (by necessity, I suppose) approach by both sides: Taliban members escorted Americans to gates at Kabul airport in secret arrangement with US - CNNPolitics AMP.CNN.COM The US military negotiated a secret arrangement with the Taliban that resulted in Taliban members escorting groups of Americans to the gates of the Kabul airport as they sought to escape Afghanistan, according to two defense officials. There have been so many agreements between US forces and the Taliban that it wouldn't surprise me to learn that some guys have even exchanged personal email addresses to keep in touch. If we can be friends with the Saudis, why not a Taliban-led Afghanistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a motherboard with a bespoke architecture that only ran with a custom BIOS, it would be as good as a paperweight without it. You can't even reverse engineer it unless you have another one that's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 There might be some kind of electronic kill switch for the intelligent anti-rocket system or something, but for the Humvees and the aircraft I feel like there's probably a low tech solution like putting some thermite on the engine blocks or other vital systems.

And even then, Humvees or Black Hawks really aren't that big a deal for the Taliban to get ahold of. It's not some high tech thing that's going to change the Taliban's ability to rule the country or fight. They can get Hiluxes or jeeps or older Russian helicopters... It's just a political loss for us and people clamoring for us to "bwuh, why didn't we keep them from getting those" are just trying to save face.

A spokesman for the Islamist militia, Suhail Shaheen, said on Friday a senior member of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar had been told by China’s deputy foreign minister that Beijing also aimed to increase humanitarian assistance.
