2 killed in Kurram Agency drone strike -air chiefs words were for local consumption

[Sine Nomine]

It's all about strategic location of Pakistan.
We have seen in history, whenever Pakistan US relations strain Iran and India also heat up respective borders.

So,if tomorrow a conflict happens on kashmir and US sides with India,we should stand down?

 

[tarrar]

Drone fired missiles from Afghan territory. I strongly believe PAF should still shoot down these drones from Pakistan territory.

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

They are finding loopholes, these Drones no longer cross into Pakistan but fire from within Afghanistan. It also takes time to locate and intercept these drones, we cannot afford our jets to be on constant patrol on the Western Border.

 

[LeGenD]

This attack was in Afghanistan. PAF chief assured anything crossing into Pak airspace will be shot down like US helicopters in Abottabad.

@LeGenD

The drone struck a vehicle in Mata Sanghar area of Kurram, killing a Taliban commander named Jamiuddin.

Why is Dawn news reporting this Drone strike after every 4 day with a fresh date?

This is a legitimate development.

 

[volatile]

What a childish comments . Today is the world of Stand off weaponry and no one waits for other party to come inside territory also we have radars and Jets are not all the time in the air . Its the same as in 1971 famous headline the day we surrender the brave General Yahya was saying that we are gaining ground and will fight till last drop

remember the date 15th Dec 1971 and next day we surrender ,the so called intellect this is how safe we are after spending 10 Billion $ annually

They are finding loopholes, these Drones no longer cross into Pakistan but fire from within Afghanistan. It also takes time to locate and intercept these drones, we cannot afford our jets to be on constant patrol on the Western Border.

 

[BHarwana]

Jamiuddin.

Yes Jamiuddin has been killed but not in Pakistan.

he was killed by GILGAMESH equipped drones that target cell phone communication

There was a time PAF was well respected all around the world, but know we have become a joke and our enemies know it, we just have loud mouth, no actions. We have become experts in making excuses and failed to defend out country. $$$ has become GOD for our leaders of both sides. we have become so shameless, spinless, we do not even feel it anymore.

 

[armghan]

I think PAF need some Ghairat then "AIF SOOOLA TAYARY"
and to be honest how many times they ask permission from government for strikes.
how many times we ignore their incompitance
1) OBL operation
2) salala incident
3) permanent drone strikes

if wazirastan is cleared according to army then why do US having strikes back and again.
generals are there to do actions not F**king Speeches.

I had lost 2 dear friends in last 2 months and don't want to hear the shit from the top brass of incompetent generals. Soldiers (martyred) families deserve productive actions they dont die for nothing......
this is unacceptable.......

 

[jamal18]

We are their slaves. Willing slaves at that too apparently.

The absolute worse kind of slavery is mental slavery.

At least two people were killed in a done strike near the Pak-Afghan border in Kurram Agency on Tuesday, DawnNews reported.

According to eyewitnesses, the two people killed in the strike were inside a vehicle which was targeted. The strike occurred in the Mata Sangar area of Kurram.

Mata Sangar, a hamlet, lies near Ghuzgarhi, south of Parachinar.

On December 18, a US drone had fired a missile at a compound in the same area. The missile had been fired at the compound at around 9pm, but no casualty was reported.

Last month, three suspected militants were killed in another drone strike targeting a militant compound in Afghanistan's Paktia province near the Pak-Afghan border.

Drone strikes have surged in Kurram in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new Afghan policy in August, in which Pakistan was also accused of offering “safe havens to agents of chaos”.

I have lost count how many times USA/NATO violated Pakistani sovereignty, murdered our citizens and even our soldiers, entered our military Garrison city and got away with it every time, and all our generals and PAF did was issue empty threats "next time we will shoot them down".

When is this "next time"? How many "next times" before we finally reach the one?

 

[Taimoor Khan]

They didn't thought over the policy when they declare to shoot down anything that "enter" Pakistan airspace. Americans are now firing their missiles within Afghan airspace without breaching ours.

New policy should be that if any hostile action is launched on Pakistani soil, with or without breaching our land, air or sea frontiers , will be dealt with even if we have to hot purse in forigen soverinity. This will cover all eventualities.

According to sources, at least three people were killed in the strike, which took place somewhere between Pakistan's Mata Sangar territory and Afghanistan's Maqbal area. However, officials of the Kurram political administration said that the missile attack was carried out inside Afghanistan.

So,if tomorrow a conflict happens on kashmir and US sides with India,we should stand down?

Its about a frameof reference. A plane inside Afghan territory firing on a vehicle outside or inside Pak territory is unstoppable as an attack would be considered an aggressive maneouvre. PAF has long held this rule even against Russian and IAF platforms. The wreckage needs to fall inside PAK land for it to have legitimacy.
The matter of whether we will take on the US or not is a very difficult one for various one. It is one thing to say so but to do so it needs tosatisfy a lot of criteria for legitimacy of strike. This is the crux of the issue. I will not go into the hypothetical "what if". For instance what do we do if the US invades Pakistani Territory? The terms of reference will change totally then.
