Afghanistan continues to attract donations of military equipment from
nations interested in seeing the Afghans build a strong government. In this
case, India is providing three million dollars worth of gear. This includes 150
bullet-proof watch towers, 2,500 protective vests, and a lot of mine clearing
equipment. So far, India has donated $700 million worth of good and services to
Afghanistan, mostly for economic reconstruction.
