It’s a Bulsae-3 ATGM mounted in the back of an agricultural tractor. They seem to be very similar to ones featured in a state visit in 2017 to the Kumsong Tractor Factory.

There seems to be a certain corner of the left wing press lashing out at pretty much every single other press org over Afghanistan. Calling them warmongers, saying that they helped cause the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and asking why they aren’t blaming this on Trump.
It’s the job of the press, especially in Washington, to hold those in power accountable for their actions. That’s what they are doing now.
Trump may have designed the current situation in Afghanistan but Biden put the plan into effect.
Mixed rumors right now but it seems that the Government resistance forces in Afghanistan hit Taliban forces as they were maneuvering to enter Panjshir.
