Afghan Army looks more like a rag tag militia to me...
And Afghan commanders should be scared..
When 50% of your "soldiers" are high on opium during duty or paedophiles... You have alot to worry about...

I wonder why you haven't been singing for the past 12 years while Afghanistan has been occupied by 48 different militaries from around the world.

Now think for a second, if the Afghan military has proven to be so incompetent in the past 12 years with full support of 48 millitaries, they are somehow going to start outperforming without the help of 48 militaries from January 1, 2015 onwards?

Only 466 days until January 1, 2015.

So, what will happen after 466 days? A Taliban uprising in Pakistan and conversion of Pakistan into a Taliban state? Possible.

Some people are busy digging their own graves!!

you missed the point..there was no ANA 12 years ago..it has been created in 2002. they started functioning as an independent unit only recently..

look at your army..even they evolved from the time of the creation,from using "tribals" to invade Kashmir in 1947 to "Mujahidin" in 1999..just like that,ANA will evolve and give a hard chase to Taliban to earn their money from their handlers...

by the way,why the hell I'm suppose to sing "Happy New Year" for 12 years???

Afghanistan's Military Power, intimidating.

We've seen it all before Mr Griffin.

Realistically, the Taliban will probably win. The Soviets had also trained a professional army after their withdrawal, but they were beaten by the Mujahideen groups. Similarly, the American are withdrawing after being unable to beat down the Islamic insurgency of the Taliban. There will probably be a civil war before the Taliban will eventually take over. The Taliban have shown that they have the determination and manpower to fight on.

I think the topic we should be discussing is, what will be the consequences if the Taliban take over. What will it mean for Pakistan? or more importantly for India, how will the Kashmir insurgency be effected if the Taliban take over Afghanistan? We need to think ahead 10 years.

 

[acid rain]

whats your thought on post Nato withdrawal scenario??can ANA hold Taliban all by itself??I think ANA is capable enough.all they need now is a capable AF that will pound Talibs from the air..

We are talking about a situation similar to Syria here - there will not be just the talibs but all the cr@p from far corners will land up there to do jehaad against the ANA.

The disadvantage for Afghan forces is they aren't as experienced as the Syrian forces and not armed like them as well.

No that's the wrong history you learned; former ANSF was either Khalqi/Parchami but for the peace negotiations Dr. Najibullah accepted the offer of United Nations for a transitional government which in fact hurt his party members within the military (at that time every part of Afghanistan was under military control) with the strength the military had, the higher stakeholders felt a sense of betrayal from Dr. Najibullah and many defected the most important one was General Dostum (Uzbek army general from the north) he had the authority of all supplies flow to Kabul via Mazar-e-Sharif from Soviet Union; he had secret negotiations with the CIA in Turkey and CIA gave him enough money to defect Dr.Najibullah and betray him thus he broke the supply route of the military at last UN played it's game and Dr. Najibullah for the sack to save his country peacefully handed the government to the Mujahideens; Mujahideens later established a '2 months' government led by Mujadidi who ordered to disintegrate the military (he is the biggest traitor of our country) so then that strong military was disintegrated and the weapons came under control of Ahmad Shah Massoud and General Dostum later they established a '4 months' government which also failed and finally the civil war begin from bullets to fighter jets all were stolen, destroyed or sold by these Mujahideen thugs...

Rest assured post-2014 have none relevancy to post-soviet withdrawal!

actually,they need a properly equipped AF,quite some some amount of tanks,and experience in counter terrorism..Taliban soldiers aren't equipped with heavy equipment.so,it is easy to overpower them using AF..we've seen this in Afghanistan..Gunships mowing down Talibs,ground forces are assisting them.hopefully,Afghanistan got several Hinds as well as CAS aircraft will be ready soon.what they have to learn is to fight like Taliban,just like Indian forces did in various areas of India.you can't get success by waging a conventional war,but you need to fight unconventional one..sad thing is this,relation with Pakistan will deteriorate to do this.but its the risk they've to take.if needed,even cross border raids have to be performed..

[Ayush]

That worries me too.

If our diplomats work successfully on this issue and as result Taliban pays only lip service to the so called (blessed from you now who) "struggle" in J&K, it will be very good news for us.

Our strengthened relations with United States may come handy in this matter.
