On Sunday, Taliban forces held a military parade in   Afghanistan´s capital city of Kabul, using captured US armored vehicles and Russian helicopters.

(Pada hari Minggu, pasukan Taliban mengadakan parade militer di ibukota Afghanistan Kabul, menggunakan kendaraan lapis baja AS yang direbut dan helikopter Rusia.)

The parade showed their ongoing transformation from an insurgent force to a regular standing army.

(Parade ini memperlihatkan keberlangsungan transformasi mereka dari pasukan pemberontak menjadi tentara siap tempur.)

According to a Defense Ministry spokesman, the parade celebrated the graduation of 250 new trained soldiers. The exercise involved dozens of US M117 vehicles driving slowly up and down a major Kabul road with MI-17 helicopters patrolling overhead. Many soldiers carried US M4 assault riffles.

(Menurut juru bicara menteri pertahanan, parade ini merayakan kelulusan 250 tentara baru. Kegiatan ini melibatkan lusinan kendaraan M117 AS yang melaju perlahan di jalanan utama Kabul serta helikopter MI-17 yang berpatroli di atasnya. Banyak tentara menenteng senapan M4 AS.)

The Taliban operated as insurgent fighters for two decades. When the former Western-backed government ended in August they took the large amount of weapons and equipment left behind to improve their forces. As the US troops left, they destroyed more than 70 aircraft and dozens of armored vehicles, and they disabled the air defense.

(Taliban beroperasi sebagai pasukan pemberontak selama dua dekade. Ketika pemerintahan dukungan barat sebelumnya berakhir pada Agustus mereka mengambil sejumlah besar senjata dan perlengkapan yang tertinggal untuk memperbarui pasukan. Saat pasukan AS pergi, mereka menghancurkan lebih dari 70 pesawat dan lusinan kendaraan lapis baja, dan melumpuhkan pertahanan udara.)

Between 2002 and 2017, more than $28 billion worth of weapons, ammunition, vehicles and surveillance systems went to the Afghan government from the US government. The Taliban also have some aircraft; however, it is unclear how many are working.

(Antara tahun 2002 dan 2017, persenjataan senilai lebih dari 28 juta dolar, amunisi, kendaraan dan sistem mata-mata dikirim ke pemerintah Afghanistan dari pemerintah AS. Taliban juga memiliki beberapa pesawat; namun, tidak diketahui pasti berapa banyak jumlah yang berfungsi.)

Kata-kata sulit: force (pasukan), insurgent (pemberontak), standing army (pasukan siap tempur), patrol (patroli).
