#7  I think they should load up about six Blackhawks and go racing through Begger's Canyon.

#6  What they did get was US biometrics tech

...and the secure network mesh technology, which may be chinese anyway.

I'm having trouble getting an ABS control module for my 2008 Jeep Liberty.

Ah'm certain if the Stryker had an anti-braking skid system, one could be found.

#5  I'm having trouble getting an ABS control module for my 2008 Jeep Liberty. The part, if I can find it used, needs to be flashed with the VIN of my car to work. You think any significant part of an F-16 is any different?

#4  Now the jamaat asks the ISI to procure them for use against America or allies. If they see some worth in it, the PAF trains pashtun assets in their use and if successful, pins the whole thing on Taliban.

Then Pakistain 'stands in solidarity' with the hurt party and wags its head, offering to 'bring the elements to justice'. If accused, Imran Khan tut tuts and says 'Those ungrateful Americans! Doubting us?!'

#3  The planes can be broken down into spare parts, but the people who broker such stuff are well known to the intel community. Now, if it was only a priority to deal with it...

#2  ...For the record, in terms of aircraft, they got diddly that nobody else didn't already have - no F-16s, no A-10s, no AH-64s. On top of that, maintenance was already overwhelmingly in the hands of US and European techs, who ain't there no more.

What they did get was US biometrics tech, and I'm sure that the CCP and Russians are lining up to pay for that.

#1  No maintenance. No spare parts. No leadership. Yard sales, best offer.
