Terrorists operating in the Kashmir valley have started using steel core bullets and Canadian night sights that were left behind by the American-led NATO alliance when it was forced to retreat from Afghanistan. US forces reportedly left behind weapons and equipment worth billions of dollars in Afghanistan.

Indian security forces had feared that weaponry left behind by US would definitely reach India through Pakistan.

Recently, it was found that some of the terrorists in the Kashmir valley used American armour piercing bullets in encounters with Indian security forces and were successful in breaching the bulletproof jackets of soldiers. Immediate measures are being taken to counter this threat, top government sources told India Today.

The APBs along with the M-16 assault rifles and M-4 carbines have been left behind in huge numbers by the retreating American Army which quit Afghanistan, 20 years after it started the war against terror. Following its retreat, Afghanistan fell into Taliban control.

Indian security forces had feared that the weaponry left behind would definitely reach India through Pakistan. The Army is now looking to order level 4 jackets for soldiers in large numbers as they would provide protection against these steel core bullets.
