Everyone has their pov on the topic, mine - being a third generation settler from Baluchistan is that there's no way in hell that Pakistan will be able to outspend Iran and India in Baluchistan.
1. Long Term: Until Pakistan achieve economic prosperity, or a greater linkage with China, whereby their economic and hence larger security interests intertwine, Baluchistan will not see a respite in attacks. India will continue to prick Pakistan for the entire reason that it continue to counter-weigh Indian options in the greater region, keeps them occupied. Pakistan until then will need to continue the war on ground.
2. Whenever one says that Pakistan Army does not have enough money, all I ask is to calculate the amount spent on the upkeep of all the golf courses under Army within a single calendar year and divert it to resources, where needed. I'd love to see how they don't have the required funds for the basics. But the point at the end of the day, is that Army is too big, too bureaucratic within itself and very highly incentivized at top - so the idea that any one person will come along and change the way it operates, remains just an idea.
This is not a critique, after all the years of war, if the number of maimed, dead, struggling and wounded did not alter the strategic thought process or the way this machine works, there's nothing anyone of us can do about it. This is just a pov.
