Beyond the tactical radios, I am more concerned about secure communication at the staff and strategic level. There have been news reports about the US listening into communications at GHQ and SPD. This is going to be very difficult to counter unless we stop relying on any Western and COTS equipment.
This is not correct as the reasons of fighting for AQ and TTP and all groups who support that ideology is very different from much of the Afghan Taliban. The hardcore AQ ideology is for global "jihad" that starts from Khorasan and turns both Afghanistan and Pakistan into their empire where their...
A simplistic understanding of the issue meant to cater to a Western audience. Mission accomplished it seems.
A "course correction" by the Army is not the issue at hand and has very little bearing on actual activities of Taliban, AQ and other jihadi groups. They feed on external factors outside...
There is no military only solution, but that does NOT mean that military force cannot shape the ground for a political solution.
Imran Khan, as usual is clueless about the dangerous ideology of Taliban/AQ that cannot be defeated with talk alone.
First question for your taliban should be, why do they kill so many Pakistanis on a weekly basis? No Pakistani needs to answer any question from any murderer taliban.

They have right to believe whatever they want and they have the right to be not killed and persecuted for their beliefs. Imagine if Muslims in the UK were banned from using the name of Jesus/Isa as Christian majority would be offended by not calling him son of God. Or if a Christian terrorist...
There was no taliban in 1980s, but indeed Zia policy (at the time also CIA policy) of support jihadis was wrong. But today, why are you crying when the army tries to roll back it's previous wrong policies by going after the jihadis? Should Pakistan be held hostage to mistakes of the past for...
Once again a nonsense post from you that adds nothing of value. Knowing when eid falls is not some super secret thing.
Of course, part of this is an internal conflict, as the people that are part of TTP are mostly locals.
