Original Note:
This is based on an estimate on the total US spending to supply Afghan forces over the last twenty years. Not all of that was spent on weapons that were still in usable condition in Afghanistan as of this summer, and of those, many were rendered inoperable during withdrawal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/08/31/no-taliban-did-not-seize-83-billion-us-weapons/
