[salarsikander]

shifat of RASOOL SAW

Hi,
@Rakan.SA is that how Sahibe of prophet used to say ? on hearing upon news of deceased

 

[HRM YANG]

They devoted theirselves to the highly simulant drill, It's a valuable experience for army to think of how to avoid these tragedies again

 

[Paksanity]

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

Wish speedy recovery to injured.

 

[SipahSalar]

We have never seen accidents like this before, Pakistan are very professional in trainings and disciplines

I can assure you no military is accident proof. I have come across all sorts of accidents taking place in Pakistan army, from a major crushed under tank to mortar misfire.

No accidents in joint exercises with foreign countries?

Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'alaa) Says in the Noble Qur'an;
"Who, when afflicted with calamity say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.""[The Qur'an; Chapter 2 (Al Baqarah - The Cow) : Verse 156]
"Allatheena ithâ asabat-hum museebatun qaloo inna lillahi wa innâ ilay-hi raji'oon"

It happens during exercise there r risks always nothing is risk free second we don't know what happened actualy ?could be anything but still a sad incident RIP

Not that i know of. But if accidents can happen in local exercises, they can happen in joint exercises too. It's just that joint exercises are held far less often so chances of an accident are reduced.

These accidents occur all the time, unfortunately. No military is immune to accidents.

Do we have any idea if these were Saudi soldiers, or Pakistani? Or a mix of both?

 

[SQ8]

One of two possibilities

1 Bad grenade throw
2 The training was attacked.

I doubt it was an attack. It could simply have been miscommunication that lead to this tragedy.

 

[The SC]

Inna lillahi wa inna illahi rajioon. I am glad they are having live-fire exercises, prepares ones nerves for actual combat. I suspect it was most probably a mortar related accident. No other possibility.

First, RIP.
The possibility of grenades going off because of the wrong count are there too, it happened once or twice in British Columbia during intensive trainings of Canadian soldiers, many soldiers died...

 

[Rakan.SA]

Saudi has no idea what it's doing. Is this possibly a cover for some troops that might've died in combat?

no way its an honer to die in the battlefield we are not the US. we are muslims and believe in shahada.
