Notes

    + = some, number uncertain

    - = none reported

    ? = uncertain

    1 - The Greek Government reportedly offered to provide 13 M60A3s to Afghanistan as military aid in 2007, but there was no mention of these tanks ever arriving in Afghanistan.

    2 - It is unclear whether the delivery of HMMWV vehicles listed were for the ANA specifically or for the ANSF as a whole, which would include vehicles delivered to the ANP.

    3 - Some number of BGM-71 TOW and Milan missiles were reportedly delivered to anti-Soviet forces in Afghanistan during the 1980s via Pakistan. It is unclear whether any of these weapons arrived or survived that conflict to be incorporated into the post-2001 Afghan National Army.
