What exactly are we doing with these drones

Delivering pizza???

Bomb something or someone for Pakistan's sake

They should be useful for our own terrorists atleast or in Balochistan or Afghanistan

Hard to say what they're doing but this picture should tell us there is a significant number of these UAVs in service and we don't hear about them that often. More than that, your guess is as good as mine.
The following thread was my guess. I have 0 idea if its true or just wishful thinking:

DISCLAIMER: I am not claiming knowledge of these things. I am using publicly available data to see a pattern. I have documented drone strikes during the past year. Of note are the sets of strikes (4,5,6,7,8,9), (13,14), and (16,17).

In all two of three sets there is a pattern:
First, someone from the Haqqani Network is targeted very close to or inside Pakistan.
Second, almost immediately (within a day) someone from TTP is targeted on the Afghan side. Both of these times the targets have been rather important TTP commanders. Namely, Khorasani, and Sajna.

I am not usually who likes to speculate things like this but it seems very unlikely that USA is trying appease us by doing "complimentary strikes" on TTP, especially when the rhetoric coming out of the current administration is so harsh. Secondly, it seems the Pakistani side has been taking a stronger stand on drone strikes (an example of this is the statement by the Air Chief).

I am SPECULATING that we have decided to cross a line we hadn't crossed before (at least not so obviously). Every time there's a drone strike on the Haqqani Network on the Pakistani side, there's a "payback strike" on an important TTP commander on the Afghan Side. It would appear we always had the intelligence, and we did go and touch them physically when we could, but now we just send a drone if the target is in the border region. This has the following benefits:
- Deniability: No one is saying Pakistani drone strikes. Everyone will assume they are CIA strikes.
- Reduced Risk: No risk of endangering our operatives.
- Messaging: Send a message to the other side that we see you too, and can undermine your position too.
- Proportionate Response: This is the only reasonable response to a drone strike because you can't shoot down a US drone for a variety of reasons (they usually remain in Afghan Airspace, and could elicit a stronger US response if shot down)


I would love to read everyone's opinions on this. I wonder if I am putting too much faith in our ability lol.

The real deal and its use will remain a secret

Just that basically.

SURVEILLANCE ALONG EASTERN BORDER, WITH EXCEPTION OF FALCO, ALL OF THEM UAV NOT UACV

 

[Metal 0-1]

SSW is nice small and secretive force. I would like if they keep it that way.

P.S It will be more nice if PAF make an official documentary on their role and capabilities. Just keeping their faces covered....... Not revealing confidential information

I don't know what is their current size but they should eventually taken to around 2500.
