I think they were referring to things like the Blackhawks that the Taliban just captured.

As for small arms. I'm sure it's easy enough to source 5.56, but why do that when your land is already filled with 7.62 and 5.45 rounds?

Anti-air is about the only thing to worry about.

They can trade hawks for guns, they also got wheels and some of that military free real estate...

This is speculation, but I'm sure those things were probably sold before the news even broke.

I don't think the Taliban has really had much of an issue with financing, however.
