A country which lacks proper equipment for its armed forces what are they gonna give to their police absolute jokes.

Pakistan needs a list of American weapon/ammo storage areas and to either buy them back, capture them, or destroy them.

The former Afghan Army, who has been absorbed by the Taliban, had a larger budget than the Pakistan Army. That means the TTP potentially has a larger or near equal budget than the Pakistan Army at least in FATA/KP.

priorities where to put the resources comprehension and realisation whats happening and getting worse.

most importantly, the courage to admit that appeasement of these dogs of hell has nullified all military gains and sacrifices from 2000 to date. but who will dare to speak up to Imran?

TTP won't be impressed by stunning personality and his flowery speeches. they slaughter children, desecrate courses of people and play football with heads of slain soldiers.

the lack of resources and equipment is secondary issue which can be addressed only after there is a unified public political stance against TTP.
we don't have that yet. People give them shelter and politicians like imran Khan want to resettle them back in the areas where our soldiers spilled their blood.

you will start seeing that NATO equipment soon in TTP videos.
TTP are cousins of Afghan TALIBAN, they will get full support.

Police officer among 3 martyred in late-night attack on police station in Peshawar​

Tahir Khan
January 14, 2023

A senior police officer and two of his guards lost their lives giving chase to militants who staged a late-night attack on a police station on the outskirts of Peshawar, a senior official said on Saturday.

Senior Superintendent Police Operations Peshawar Kashif Abbasi told Dawn.com that Deputy Superintendent Police Sardar Hussain and his two police guards lost their lives in an exchange fire with terrorists in the Badhabir area.

The two martyred policemen were identified as Irshad and Jehanzeb.

Abbasi told reporters that the terrorists attacked Sarband police station at about midnight. Sarband is located near the Bara area of Khyber tribal district.

“It was coordinated from multiple directions and the [terrorists] used multiple weapons. They lobbed hand grenades and resorted to sniper shots and automatic guns,” he said.

The Peshawar police successfully repelled the attack, he added.

Abbasi said the slain police officer chased the fleeing terrorists and tried to encircle them but during an ensuing exchange of fire, he and two other policemen lost their lives.

The gunmen then took advantage of the darkness and fled.

Police said a search operation was launched in Sarband and nearby areas following the attack. It resumed on Saturday morning. No arrest was made so far.

Abbasi said the gunmen had come from the Khyber Tribal district bordering Afghanistan.

A funeral was held for the martyred police officials at Malik Saad Shaheed Police Line in Peshawar on Saturday morning.
It was attended by senior police and military officials while the police force offered a salute to the martyrs.

Meanwhile, the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed the attack.

TTP has stepped up attacks since the group called off the ceasefire in November which was agreed with the government in June and ordered its militants to stage attacks across the country.

Federal govt concerned​

Meanwhile, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the federal government was “seriously concerned” over the “worsening law and order situation” in KP.

Highlighting “terrorists are attacking police stations [and] policemen and officers are being targeted”, he criticised the KP government for “not learning a lesson” from the attack at a Counter Terrorism Department centre in Bannu last month where law enforcers were held hostage by militants.

Sanaullah lambasted KP Chief Minister Mahmood Khan saying: “All energies of the chief minister are focused on dissolving the assembly.”

He asked, “The KP police are not safe from terrorist attacks; what will be the [state of] people’s protection?” The minister paid tribute to the martyred police officials and saluted their sacrifices.

KP police getting upgrades​

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Inspector General of Police Moazzam Jah Ansari commended the police for repulsing the terrorist attack with “great bravery” and asserted “we all are together in this battle”.

Talking to the media in Peshawar today, he highlighted that this was the first time the police had used thermal weapon sights in Peshawar — a sighting device that helps locate and see targets from afar.

Ansari said, “We did not have a way to see the terrorists [in obscure conditions].”

He said the provincial government has released funds for the provision of thermal weapon sights, adding that 40 have already been received — half of which have been sent to Dera Ismail Khan and the rest to Bannu.

“Thermal [weapon] sights are mounted on top of weapons. Thermal guns enable [us] to see [clearly] from afar.”
Ansari also said there was “great progress on Safe Cities” project. “We have signed an agreement for Safe Cities [project]. Phase one would be completed by June this year.”

He further added that security cameras have been installed at the police stations on their own initiative.

what thermal sights are they going to get??

 

[Olympus81]

A collective failure. There is no point blaming each other.

Pakistanis have to answer a fundamental question?

Is TTP a terrorist outfit or not?
Is Taliban a terrorist outfit or not?
Is ISIS/AQ a terrorist outfit or not?

 

[SecularNationalist]

It's time to use full power of the state against madarchods TTP and afghan taliban swines. What boils my blood is why we are silent despite having a superiority in all areas against these scums.
Bomb then inside Afghanistan, hang their dead bodies at our public places. Tear their Afghani rectums if they caught alive. Execute all TTP prisoners we have in prisons. Treat them like animals they deserve no mercy.

what thermal sights are they going to get??

Locally produced by shibli optics I guess

It's responsibility of KP police to fight a multi-national Terrorist group who have snipers and night vision Goggles and are working against a "sleeping" giant.

Okay. This is news to many of us
