I was in Budapest in the 90s.
When the USSR fell, the Hungarian freedom government said "Out" to the Soviet military.
The Soviets asked for time to haul everything home. The Hungarians around Budapest said "No, get out now".
The soviets brought in hundreds of cement trucks and filled their tanks, APVs, artillery & missile tubes with concrete.
It was a few years before we were there and on a base east of town you could still see the useless hardware sitting there. It was now so heavy, there was no financially feasible way for the new government to haul it away.
They even set fire to their radar control rooms & their communication centers.
They went home, but the Hungarians got very little materiel.
I wonder how much of this we did in Afghanistan.
