Bangladesh was just impossible to defend. The simple answer is geography. India surrounds Bangladesh on 3 sides and it's all flat plains, basically a nightmare to defend, and to add to that, they had a 10:1 manpower advantage in the East and complete air, naval and logistics dominance.

For one, Kashmiris are only armed with small pistols.

Pakistan doesn't have the economy nor manpower nor resources to take on India, Afghanistan and Iran all by itself. It's like asking why the Poles have American bases in their country, because if they didn't, then they'd have to have 10% of their GDP in military spending to deter Russia.

Give China a naval base where they can park an aircraft carrier in Omara and spend less on the navy, with the lower budget and Chinese payment for the base, you'll probably have $2-3 billion a year to spend freely. Spend that money on an MRAP, drone and other surveillance and military equipment...

It's very likely that Talibs sold M4 rifles along with night vision scopes to Baloch militant groups. I've seen an entire BLA squad with night vision rifles.

Is that the outpost in question? Looks more like some African mud huts than a fort. How did the cameraman get higher ground?

What do these outposts even look like? If an outpost can't defend being outnumbered 5:1, then there's no point in there being an outpost anyway because it will be torched by militants. Every fort should be built to a specific standard by being well protected and having more firepower than...

Provinces don't really matter per se, what needs to happen is that local units (cities) should be more politically powerful by creating a mayoral/district system similar to Europe.

Pakistan's biggest mistakes: -Treating Afghanistan as a brother and not using the US invasion of Afghanistan to further its own goals (annexing Wakhan + kicking out Al Qaeda early by creating a buffer zone in Kunar, Nangarhar, etc) and get more CSF to boost economy/exports -Not siding with the...

Americans were occupying territory thousands of km away and this was a rare incident, not something that happened every 2 weeks like what happens in Balochistan. Even American prefab sandbag forts were better constructed than our permanent outposts.

Unfortunately, we will never see this on the Afghan/Iran borders because muh same ethnicity BS.

Every country is progressing and moving forwards, while Pakistan is slowly turning into the new Afghanistan/Somalia. Not even the Taliban are being killed like this by ISIS-K/NRF. A couple of BLA malnourished rats have more firepower than an FC post. What message does this show to the world?

How can there be such high casualty rates? Are the forts built out of cardboard or something? You need to build proper thick concrete reinforced forts on high ground. There should be heavy machine guns, artillery, mortars and drones to quickly kill all the attackers. Plus more engineering...

Pakistan rising.

Not to mention, the army could've taken good land from Afghanistan like Wakhan and some strategic mountain peaks in Kunar/Nangarhar to make the border more solid. Just like what Turkey did in Syria. The "double game" was the most pointless thing ever, it brought nothing positive for Pakistan...

ISI f**ked up big time. They tried to play a double game but what was the point when the TTP already used the whole "Pak sided with the USA" justification anyway to expand itself? But it's not too late. There's still enough time to build more forts and occupy more peaks on the Afghan side. The...

He needs to get rid of Ricky Funez in the long run. Funez is not the best trainer.
