What's new

5 soldiers embrace shadat in Baluchistan and ten in total in last 48 hours

Doesn't make them special then right? SF are called as last resort to minimize the loss and take out enemies, if SSG lose more men than Punjab police than why waste so much resources on them ? just create LCB's in every Army unit and let them conduct the operations, of course they also have will to fight ? Just check out the operation history of major SF's like Seal's or SAS or even Turkish SF SSG is nowhere close to them, they lose men to BLA/TTP I bet even Jiye Sindh mahaz will give them tough time. Don't think I like them dying, I am just saying that myth behind number 1 ISI and number 1 SSG is gone, so rather than boosting for their bravery we should focus on saving their lives by giving them better training, so they can live to fight another day.
when SSG losses more men then punjab police ?????????

there is already LCB in pakistan army

ohh bhai seals ka budget poory paksitani defense budget se ziada hai

you can bet or whatever but this is best force we have and they are protecting motherland almost everytime . so for saving the lives of SSG we should not send any force to combat terror ? we are 3rd world country woth 100mn$ in pocket and you want commandos like seals and sas . apki SSG se koi personal problem hai shayed .

Bhai, no one even thinking to judge their intentions or patriotism. They are best of the best in Pak armed forces and we respect them so much. I think he only means is that there are many other special forces in the world with much better training & tech.
right but they also have budget and funds for equipment and training too . here we are living in poor country .

What achange of heart. Used to be furious for our Jawans. I can't help it but totally impassive.
Then some introspection is needed on your part. Those laying down their lives for a little bit of peace in our lives deserve far better.
This is why I say, PTI supporters should learn to keep their politics out of Pakistaniat. Pakistaniat existed before IK/PTI and will remain long after they are gone.

Just because you are not happy with your party of choice not being in power does not mean that you stop caring about Pakistan and those that put their lives on the line for this country. I can guarantee that had PML/PPP supporters voiced similar things during PTI's reign here, they would have been condemned outrightly as traitors and what not.

"And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not." 2-154

The above verse should put their sacrifices in the right context.

You must be the one they call jonas salk,

It is not me who is living hell bud. The people of Pakistan are.

Don't get angry at PTI supporters. BLA also existed long before PTI. It is the Pakistani army and the political leaders that have never found a solution to the BLA problem.

The bad news is that by judging past record the Pakistani army is engaged in a long battle with no end in sight. To make matters worse, TTP is another terror group wreaking havoc. You should be worried where this is heading. Some say we are living in purana Pakistan if you know what I mean.

PTI and Imran Khan are also Pakistanis. Everyone will go one day.

Its the IED that detonated during the course of action in IBO. FC knows it keeps coming across IEDs and these IBOs are a never ending process. One mistake and it costs the lives of five personnel.
From where terrorists are getting these IEDs ?
1. Are they making it themselves?
2. Stealing from Pak LEA ammunition Depot.?
3. coming from out of borders?
4. something else, a fancy story?

No, it is not an option because it will turn Taliban against Pakistan.

USA did it because they do not share borders with Afghanistan but Pakistan does. It will be a disaster decision for Pakistan.
Yeah because the current situation with taleban is so friendly right?
Pakistan has to strike the border areas like khost Kunar, destroy TTP and BLA camps wherever they are.

Not just Afghanistan but Iran too

But doubt that would happen

Also fighting insurgency is all about increasing cost for the enemy

You can't win against an insurgency by killing 8 of enemy and then getting killed 5 of your own

You can only win if attrition rate is 1:5 or more in your favor

You can't win if this rate is 5:5 or 4:5 or even 3:5
Pakistan troops should only use MRAPS in KPK and Baluchistan, with drone cover. Toyota hilux was used by terrorist militias like isis why is a professional army like Pakistan using it?

How hard is it to make an explosive device when weapons, ammunition and other explosives are already at hand. IEDs can be hidden anywhere: on animals, planted in roads or strapped to a person. They can be detonated via cell phones or trip wires, among other methods. They can be deployed everywhere: in a combat environment or in the middle of a busy city. The adaptability of IEDs to almost any situation makes them difficult to detect and stop.

Question was very simple, but no clear answer.
I will take following as an answer and a follow up question is below ...

Almost in every IBO, there is recovery of sizeable caches of weapons, ammunition and explosives so that boat has already sailed. The material to make an IED can be had from shops or factories (ammonium nitrate/fertilizers) inside Pakistan. The immediate threat to address is IEDs through Counter-IED methods. Either FC isn't following SOP's or the necessary expertise and equipment is sparingly available.

So we should use LCB's instead, there is no need for SSG then ?

bhai budget ki baat nai hai , budget use kerne ki baat hai. SSG ka combat gear dekha hai ? For Argument sake lets put gears aside, but what about Strategy ? how many times they were sent into Operations, if you lose your men than do they even reflect on the mistakes that cost their fellow SSG lives ? Duniya ki har SF apni galatiyun se seekh leti hai and than they improve on their strategy which can be reflected from their performance in their next operations, but we have seen time and time again that any operation SSG conduct they ended up losing a man or two, SSG spends huge money on their 1 Commando's training etc and they are suppose to be best of the best, but if Best are dying like this than Army/Police/LEA ka tu Allah hi hafiz hai.

Why would i have Personal problem with SSG ? All I am saying if they lose men in hard missions that is understandable, but every time you hear SSG is brought in for some Operation that news ends with few of them dying, if they are the best of the best and if they are dying with that rate than there is no point, just close down SSG and merge it with some LCB unit and be done with it.

I agree with everything what you are saying, but all IEDs used are not of mentioned type. So I think better border control is required to stop weapons, explosives and humans.

You don't really know why I said that boat has already sailed :-(
it is never too late to correct past mistakes, intentional or unintentional. By saying that boat has already sailed wont improve present circumstances or future.
