I'm no mechanical expert but shirley if you took the keys with you it would be tricky to get everything going?

And there must be simple ways to disable or mess with a vehicle that could have been done quickly?

The trucks are one thing, but the aircraft are about as much use to the Taliban as tits on a bull. Without trained ground crew you wouldn't even get the ****ing things started, never mind flying and operating weapons systems.

Maybe they can turn them into modern hipster workspaces.
They already have the beards.

As a parting gift for the Iranians, I think. You know, "Had a lovely time! Thank you for having us." That sort of thing.

It was either going to have to be that or more pallets of cash

They KNOW people, imo.

It would appear they’ve found someone who can fly the helicopters.

Started Scarface type hangings…
