There was a lot of leftover equipment due to the unexpected speed of the takeover. At the time there were discussions about destroying any remaining equipment but I believe they ended up figuring that things will naturally degrade and it isn't like they have anyone trained in using/repairing American equipment. No classified info unlike Trump's bathroom.

While that's true, this helicopter was in ANA colors. It's one of the ones we'd already given the Afghan Army.
