Armies always leave equipment behind a observation.
Several discussions on Twitter and also this morning at the diner. Last weekend before school, I took the guys to the diner early for breakfast, folks are saying we left aircraft and that they could attack the u.s.a . No those aircraft are A29 prop driven built for tactical air they have no range and no threat to us. As for the Blackhawks I imagine they are all first or second series and we’re not equipped with latest technology, hummers oh well besides upgrading with hillbilly armor in that troops on the ground always adding more sandbags or armor now the taliban will have to constantly find fuel for them.
And we left the ANA with old M16a2 and equipment to fight , I read that some Ana units had no food for weeks hungry no motivation to fight and rampant corruption in senior Afghan army command, you would think do I really want to fight if you’re sane in thought yea no , time to save your hide I’m out of here . I personally am more worried over the women and children that will be living under the taliban, I read girls as young as fifteen are being gifted to fighters fuqing sick poor girls.
A Soviet soldier a friend of mine who I work with told me , when they quit in 89 the kremlin did the same with equipment and they also knew in 89 the Afghan army they trained would not last.

Wait until they try to get the repair parts. 
FTR, when the Shah of Iran was overthrown the US left a squadron of F14s, at the time the most sophisticated fighter the US had, behind. AFAIK, Iran was never able to make those planes operational.
