The Taliban have reportedly been filmed appearing to take a captured US helicopter for a joy ride in Afghanistan.
Footage of the Taliban using the UH-60 $6 million Blackhawk helicopter in a desert location was posted to Twitter after it was captured from Afghan forces, Independent reports.
The video has been viewed over 111K times at the time of writing, and appears to feature a helicopter being driven around the ground without actually taking off.
Watch the video of the helicopter below:"Parts of Kabul airport have been conquered, clearing is underway and the American occupiers are taking over. The airport will soon be fully under the control of the Islamic Emirate's Mujahideen. God willing," the video's poster Jahid Jalal tweeted.
The clip was captioned: "Preparing for flights at Kandahar Airport, the wrecked Black Hawk American helicopter was built and ready for operation. It's believed the helicopter was left to be used by Afghan forces before the Taliban took Kabul."
The Taliban have also been filmed practicing their military skills and were seen testing a "new long-range ballistic missile, the Al-Fatah, which can carry up to five kilograms of bombs."
Jalal posted a video online which saw it being "fired at an enemy military base in the south of the country."
It's not known how much American military equipment has been left in Afghanistan amid the Taliban takeover, but it has been reported by experts that it is billions of dollars worth.
Per Independent, spokesman John Kirby said: "I don't have an exact inventory of what equipment that the Afghans have at their disposal that now might be at risk."
The footage comes after thousands of people hoping to be evacuated from Afghanistan were told to stay away from Kabul airport amid the "very imminent and very lethal" threat of a terror attack from Islamic State Khorasan, BBC News reports.
After the warning, a suicide bomber blew himself up in the middle of a large crowd on August 26. At least 90 people have died as a result of the attack, 13 of which were US soldiers.
