It is a contingency in planning in case the weapons fall into the wrong hands either captured, stolen, lost, or even change of government.
Even thought his administration was being bombarded with warnings that the Taliban were set to take over control of the entire country, Biden still delivered seven brand new helicopters back in July. This was the same time that Biden banned all the civilian aircraft maintenance contractors who were the only ones keeping aircraft flying.


Afghanistan's ministry of defense posted on social media photographs of seven brand new helicopters


So ground the air force because no one can repair them to keep them flying, while delivering seven new aircraft?????? Yeah, how stupid is Biden???

They belonged to the Afghan forces. We provided them as a security assistance weapons package/deal.

I can see where this might be a problem going forward - on multiple levels - when and if the US does finally get its act together in extracting Afghanis who worked for the US .
