No i have witnessed hard steps that have made a huge difference. Even counting the recent strikes , terrorist attacks have decreased by 70% percent , name one country just one , that has achieved anything similar. The only thing we were complacent about, was that we celebrated to soon. There is...
Iran fires mortar shells in an area where we have no presence at all. Most of the time they are attacking their own nationals who are part of the smuggling mafia .
India pakistan "Exchange" cross border fire and the last time Afghanistan fired at our troop we all saw what happened to them when...
No confirmation from ISPR and dont expect one either. Attacking another country is no joke. You guys should find other ways of expressing your angers instead of bashing your own military.
Yeah we have the required firepower and manpower to carry them out but have you thought about , What implications would these strikes have on our relations with the world. Would our allies back us ? Do we have the necessary diplomatic cover , can we bear the brunt of sanctions ? Try to see the...
Even if they were just artillery strikes , they might be symbolic but would count as a bold move. People here at this forum are looking at the armed forces as punching bags. You guys have seen to many hollywood movies. We arent the Israel , we dont have the diplomatic cover to invade other...
I dont blame the afghans , we shouldnt expect an overstretched ANA to take actions against TTP ,when they are bogged down in helmand and Kunduz and other provinces. This is a map from a report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), the Western-backed Afghan...
Exactly, Ttp control multiple districts in kunar, khost and nangarhar, they remain unchallenged and unchecked by ANA. Now R.S knew that he wouldnt be able to achieve much with Ghani but at the time that move showed that he was putting in effort , it should that he had looking for solutions. What...
After the APS attack , Raheel Sharif rushed to afghanistan and put pressure on Ghani. He not only talked the talk , he walked the walk aswell. A true leader, you didnt see the same from his predecessor, unfortunately you wont see the same from the successor as well. So yeah these are empty...
The lesson here :
"Don't sell the skin before you've caught the bear" .
Not until -- a) the entire Pak-Afghan border movement is under our control (expected to be done before 2020) -- b) strict madrassa reforms are implemented (lack of political will). c) All Afghan refugees are expelled...
Basically , there are three events that led to the sudden surge in attacks
1) TTP , reorganized itself ,after one of its powerful splinter groups ( mehsud triblesmen ) under sajna mehsud rejoined its ranks.
2) Jamat ul arhar - the group responsible for the deadliest attack across pakistan...
yeah, I have lived almost a decade in Dubai. Building Sand castles (skyscrapers ) in the desert won't make the harshness of negev go away , yeah you have golan heights and a few worthwhile places near the jordanian bank. But overall you cant compare it to Kashmir.
I am sure that even many Indians would agree with the fact, that Kashmir with all its lash green valleys and its majestic white peaks , is something truly worth fighting for, unlike you guys , who fight over some barren desolate desert in the middle east. You guys should have bought some land in...
This post was from a year ago, there is more bad news i am afraid, the government is now clearly set to miss the deadline for elimination of loadshedding before the 2018 elections. What a complete disgrace ! But still there are guys here who still support the pmln.
I know the person who discovered and even came up with the name khojee , didnt believe at first but then saw what it could do in the field , i was impressed. Please inbox me your email adress i can mail you pictures and share more details thanks
1.There is no way on earth that you can stop a terrorist attack , especially a suicide one.
2.Improving border facilities will have a limited effect only, since you only need a handful of would-be suicide bombers to cross the border and even if you put 10 divisions on the Durand line, there...
To be honest, his killing inst such a bad thing for us. If the Taliban were really inclined towards a peaceful settlement then they wouldn't have announced the offensive in the first place. Pakistan's influence over them is vastly overstated.
Islamic movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), also joined IS. They were the most lethal group, carried out the most vicious and well orchestrated attacks for the TTP( including the Kamra airbase attack, Mehran airbase attack and the GHQ attack). Now IMU has moved to Khost. They will wreak havoc there...
Incorrect ! here is the ISAF commander acknowledging our efforts against the Taliban.
“Senior Pakistani military officers have repeatedly declared that they can no longer discriminate between ‘good and bad’ terrorists. They appear to be taking meaningful actions to back up their words...
Yes ANSF is no doubt much better than the Iraqi Army and even without an Airforce unlike the Iraqi Army, ANSF has stood its ground in many districts. However, i am afraid its not strong enough to completely eliminate taliban threat, that kind of a capability building will take 5-6 more years...
Stuck in the 70s ? It was the army chief that handed out the olive branch to Ghani after the APS massacre. Nawaz was no where in the picture. It was the army that drove out the Haqqanis from Mir Ali. It was the army that involved the Chinese and American as guarantees and pushed the Taliban for...
