The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had managed to lay its hands on sophisticated US-made weapons following the

American withdrawal from Afghanistan in the August of 2021.

As the Taliban swept across the war-torn Afghan countryside into Kabul, the US reportedly left behind weapons worth $80 billion in Afghanistan. Some of this massive haul had reportedly fallen into the hands of the Afghan Taliban's blood brothers across the Durand Line - the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
