What was said
"We pulled some— we were using 7 Bravos at the time. Some of them had 14s and even beyond that, far better equipment than we had for night vision. When you started seeing that infusion of money, you knew this whole thing was shifting."
Jay Collins, former 7th Special Forces Group member, revealed that enemy fighters in Afghanistan possessed PVS-14 night vision and better optics than U.S. forces at Firebase Anaconda, indicating significant foreign support. He identified Chechens, Syrians, and Iranian influence supplying advanced equipment and training. This contradicts public narratives about the technological superiority of U.S. forces during the war.
