Hidden warehouse-sized weapons stores containing thousands of bullets, missiles and more have been found leaving President Joe Biden's threat of future 'over the horizon' attacks battered.
Two secret arms dumps left by US forces in case they return to Afghanistan have been found by the Taliban.
The caches - earmarked for US counter-terrorism "Over the horizon" attacks against al-Qaeda and Islamic State - were hidden to help the US quickly attack terrorist organisations.
The discoveries by the Taliban in the towns of Mazer-e-Sharif , in the north, and Herat, in the west of Afghanistan are deeply embarrassing for the Pentagon.
"It meant there was a secret heavy punch against terrorism lying in reserve in case US troops needed to return suddenly, without bringing in huge supplies."
The Taliban took US -led western forces by surprise after a lightning uprising across Afghanistan led to them storming Kabul on August 15.
Taliban gunmen have launched door-to-door searches for people suspected of having worked with the west in 20 years of fighting.
