92 Taliban killed in fresh air strikes.

[MilSpec]

Well it's a valid question, because 92 could be in fact 29 with the rest collaterals.

Actually looks like the collateral damage is exceptionally low next to nothin, something Nato/ISAF could learn from. There is close to zero backlash from people and politicians against such strikes, before the onset of operations civilians were duly evacuated, the IDP camps stand testament to the same.

 

[Yahoooooo!]

Possible, but if I was a terrorist and knew civilians are being evacuated in an area, I would get the signal and melt away from the hot zone.

ADDED LATER:
Anyways the heading of the article itself is 92 suspected militants killed in strikes, unlike the title of the thread.

ISI has very credible humint

 

[Yahoooooo!]

Really?

Nuff said.

This news is from the ISPR with no independent verification. I would take this with a pinch of salt. You don't expect so many militants to be milling around together, do you? Or were they having a birthday party when they were bombed?

@Pulsar ji Sorry, looks like "aapke khate mein ek aur add ho gaya", But that's Ok it's can be a badge of honor on this forum, depending on the circumstances.

 

[tarrar]

Now that's a trophy for PAF. No rented terrorist should be spared, send these bastards to hell.

 

[Menace2Society]

10 Indian handlers also killed.

it depends on perspective..are kith and kin/women and Children of Taliban also regarded as combatants/militants?
or
Everyone who has remained behind in North Wazirstan are militants.

Then yes it can be argued collateral damage could be close to zero...but then that begs the question, why shouldn't Kith and Kin Pakistani army personnel be regarded as combatants too. Wasnt this the primary reason sighted for Taliban attacking the school in Peshawar..i.e Pakistan army was killing their women and Children.

"We selected the army's school for the attack because the government is targeting our families and females," he said. "We want them to feel the pain." He said six suicide bombers were sent to the school with orders to allow the youngest students to leave and to kill the rest."

It is not possible to evacuate whole population.

Civilians were evecuated from the area of operations 'BEFORE' the operation kicked off.

 

[Kompromat]

People who lase these targets are only far enough to to be at a safe distance when a JDAM or a GBU hits. If we don't go to great lengths to relocate half a million IDPs, we'd be losing this war through collateral damage of our own people.

Usual suspects like JI and JUI are quiet as they have nothing to speak about. Now we have over 70+ F-16s fully upgraded to mount airstrikes with Sniper pods and PGMs, before we only had 18 and they also had AD duties. Now we can spare a full squadron to descimate these goat fukkers.

There are no 'Pakistani' civilians left behind. 90% of NW is now in Army's control. There are only pockets in Shwal, Khyber and Datta Khail that remain. IDP relocation will start next month.

 

[F86 Saber]

Yes it is a matter of perspective, difference is that kith and kin of Taliban are there by choice. These valleys are war grounds and Taliban know it, if they are man enough they should send their women and children to IDP camps or to Afghanistan for their safety but they don't, only so that they can use them as human shields and later claim that PA/PAF is killing innocents.

Pakistan army isn't killing the wives and children of the terrorists by putting a gun to their heads. These wives and children had their chance of leaving NWA along with a great majority of population of NWA. We allowed them to escape. They preferred to remain with the combatants. They preferred to stay back in the war zone. APS was not in a war zone. Those teachers and student weren't staying with any combatants. There was no soldier in the school neither the school was a headquarter of the army.

This question is coming in your mind since you belong to India. A country that believes in supporting terror in all forms and shapes. Remember your defense minister who was wishing to support TTP a few days ago. That's you. A nation of terror sympathizer. A nation didn't learn anything despite losing 2 PM to militancy.

 

[BetterPakistan]

Yeah, Go Go GO Pak Army and destroy these bloodies talibans. BTW I also heard this news yesterday on TV channels.

It is too bad, they don't play by your rules,and you do not get decide what the war zone in , You hit them in their homes, they hit you in yours.

They claim, you are bombing their homes from Fifty thousand feet in which their women and children are killed, and they kill yours.
I am not supporting their actions or yours, just stating few cold hard facts.

It is very seldom any country uses aerial bombardment against its own population, but Pakistan uses it far too often..If drone attacks were bad, indiscriminate aerial bombings is many times worse.

Haha people laugh when a Pakistani accuses other nationalities of "supporting terror in all forms"

Yup that is the difference between us and them. That's what makes them terrorists and you a terrorist sympathizer.

They claim, you are bombing their homes from Fifty thousand feet in which their women and children are killed, and they kill yours.

There women and children can still leave today. They have full freedom to move out. But we won't stop bombing them for this reason so that their men would get a chance to bomb our people irrespective of gender, sect and creed.

I am not supporting their actions or yours, just stating few cold hard facts.

You look to be a good advocate. Might being an Indian is helping you for that.

It is very seldom any country uses aerial bombardment against its own population, but Pakistan uses it far too often..If drone attacks were bad, indiscriminate aerial bombings is many times worse.

It is equally bad to kill your own population in massacres like Kunan Poshpura. But you have done this too often. WE are bombing terrorists. Our population has already left NWA.

Haha people laugh a when a Pakistani accuses other nationalities of "supporting terror in all forms"

Not really. Only a bharati would laugh. And that too due to the guilt of supporting terrorism in its neighboring countries.

 

[hunter_hunted]

these terrorists normally are with their wives and children you can bet women and children have died in some air strikes by Pakistan.

it's only big deal when a U.S operated drone deals the blow.

Civilians are already out of this region only hardcore wannabe are there to give us some tough time but they are falling around like dead flies.... you go back and watch AMERICAN SNIPER and do chest-thumping while we do clean-up which you couldn't do
