Fact Check: This video does not show Taliban misadventure with American weapons
India Today
A video of two men losing control of a mounted heavy machine gun is doing the rounds on social media, with the claim that it was one of the US weapons captured by the Taliban. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the video is not linked to the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.
Highly sophisticated weaponry worth millions of dollars left behind by United States forces in Afghanistan are now in Taliban hands. Amid reports of US troops dismantling some of their choppers and other high-end military equipment before retreat, the million-dollar question now is whether the Taliban will be able to operate them. In this context, a video of two men losing control over a mounted heavy machine gun is circulating on social media with the claim that this was one of the US weapons captured by the Taliban. The video shows men scurrying for cover as bullets fly all around.More Related News
