From Kashmir to Punjab, the country is being attacked with American weapons, know who is selling the goods of 'death' to the terrorists

New Delhi: NATO, an organization of countries in Europe and North America, provides state-of-the-art military equipment to its members for defense. With this, the countries associated with NATO strengthen the security of their country, but now these NATO weapons are reaching the terrorists. Punjab Police has recently taken a major action and exposed a gang smuggling weapons from across the border. On August 29 last month, a team of Punjab Police saw a Maruti Suzuki Swift car in suspicious condition at a checkpoint. When the police signaled to stop the car, the car riders tried to run away, but stopped after hitting the police barricades. On searching the car, the police found four Glock 19 pistols, on one of which was written 'Made for NATO Army'. Apart from this, four magazines, seven live cartridges and hawala money worth Rs 4.8 lakh were also recovered. The recovery of weapons made for the NATO army is not an isolated case. In recent years, similar weapons have also been recovered from terrorists active in Jammu and Kashmir. Which have proved to be very dangerous for the security of the country.

How did NATO weapons reach terrorists?

In the year 2021, when the US Army hastily went back, it left a lot of its military equipment there. Which was later seized by the Taliban. After this, it supplied those weapons to terrorist organizations around the world. Regarding its weapons, the US Defense Department had said that the Taliban has seized US weapons worth $ 7.12 billion. It is being said that the Taliban is selling those weapons to terrorist organizations. After which terrorist organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) are using those weapons against India.

NATO weapons are becoming a threat to the country

Three months ago, in May, another new weapon, suspected to be a 'sticky bomb', was used in a bomb attack on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir. Four pilgrims were killed and 24 injured in the attack. Following this, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said it was investigating whether the terrorists had used sticky bombs, according to a report by German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW). The report said the use of sticky bombs by terrorists in Kashmir is a recent development and such bombs were commonly used by terrorists against NATO forces in Afghanistan before the US-led coalition forces left the war-torn country in August 2021.

Terrorists are using weapons left behind in Afghanistan

In February 2023, Major General Ajay Chandpuria of the Indian Army admitted that US-made high-tech weapons had reached Kashmir from Afghanistan. Major General Chandpuria was quoted as saying that the weapons and equipment we have recovered made us realize that high-tech weapons, including night vision equipment, were left in Afghanistan by the US.
