Huge TTP arms cache raided by SF - North Waziristan

Huge is an overstatement. This is 3 to 4 person (fire team) load.
I am no expert but can you tell me what "fire team" loads out with over 30 HE grenades, thousands of belt fed rounds, 10s of Mortar rounds (do you know how much they weigh) a few 12.7 barrels, an assortment of explosives with accessories, 10s of RPG rounds, small arms along with numerous other bits. Even if all the guys in the "fire team" we John Rambos they probably couldnt carry all of these. This is a small arsenal.
 
only one type
that plays football with heads of soldiers and attack schools...
If you start driving from Peshwar to Karachi on the national highway, you will see lots of madrasa on both sides of the highways .... who is making such a massive investment. Not counting in cities and villages... And these madrasa choke highway in a short notice ... you have example of TLP.. cut down intercity links

Need a cash injection, conquer Yemen for the Arabs and build a war chest.

Instead of conquering Yemen, Pak could get together with Saudi Arabia and UAE to make a proxy
against Iran. If Pak can do it against Soviets and America/nato then Iran is nothing.
 
What do you mean by this?
National highways are strategic assets and these madrassah are just within walking distance. As we have seen before these religious political groups/parties choke the traffic for hours. I have never seen such a type of construction anywhere in the world, especially along highways..

Nah, I understood that part, I meant what did you mean by "cut down intercity links"?

National highways are everywhere in the world by the way, they are for boosting regional connectivity and economic activity.

Madrassah part could be correct, not really seen anything like that but you're probably right.

Follow the news, the Iran side also gets suicide bombing, kidnapping, target killing. Don't forget Iranian border guards recovered from Pak side of Baluchistan with the help of the Pakistani army. Baluch insurgency is on both sides of the border. Plus, UAE is already involved in the Baluchistan unrest. Pakistan can't buy oil or gas from Iran, just to keep Saudi happy ..look at India, they are buying from both and on top getting all lucrative jobs, business facilities on top ...In my personal experience, these Arab will prefer Iranian over Paksitani... we need to get out from daydreaming. This UAE and Saudi generation are totally changed, no emotions only talk business only. You scratch my back, I scratch yours ... Only Pakistani can save Pakistan... no one else, neither Iran, Turkey or any Arab country.
While you guys thinking about Arab Iran relations, Saudi is shaking hands with Iran and UAE negotiating a peace deal in Yemen with the help of Iran. So guys, stop dreaming and smell the coffee...

Need a cash injection, conquer Yemen for the Arabs and build a war chest. Take Iran out and take over their oilfields then surround Afg and create a wasteland out of it. Then all that is left is India.

What Pakistan don't do and others do, is you don't know how to create leverage with your enemy and you don't make a big deal out of a attack and point fingers in world media. Pointing fingers at India does not work because the world can deduce bases are in Iran/Afg, its in-congruent, nobody can read between the lines. It's like the bully is beating up a kid every day during play time and he just sits there and takes it and says nothing.
That's what Indian media say about Pakistan,
Conquer Yemen what's the point? which actual objectives Pakistan will achieve? even if Pakistan does build a war chest how long will it lost have we not seen where all those funds have been going in past few decades in bigger houses in military-sponsored clubs, housing schemes, cinema houses i m all for that if that actually has a benefit for common folks and that actually translate into anything beyond the military.
Getting higher ranks in the Pakistani military means you are set for generations, just like politicians.

Iran even with its old antiquated military has a lot of actual manpower is Pakistan able to fight full-fledged war against Iran while keeping its borders with Afghanistan & India safe what will the proxies from all these countries do inside Pakistan, just imagine even know when Pakistan still have the use of its full resources inside and army is still getting attacked again and again losing soldiers every week be able to sustain 4-dimensional warfare against all of these enemies? you really think India will just sit back and do nothing?

At this stage problem is not India , Afghans , Irani or Uncle Sam , the Problem is the people of Pakistan and those who lead, Pakistan has been facing some sort of insurgency since independence why has not state including the military has not taken any actual stops to cut this disease off. look at other countries, Simple FACT IS these People in power need this boogeyman to keep hold of power and keep people busy in other stuff instead of looking whats actually wrong with country.

If all of this is being sponsored by India & Afghans, Since Pakistan has already provided enough proof to UN and achieved nothing why don't they go against who provide funding to these, train these. Learn from the enemy best example mossad it has proven track record, its a systemic destruction of Pakistani state-sponsored by its people i bet you even in 2 decades we still be talking about same things.
 
Seal the madaris which bread these rascals. We all know which ones.

What happens when you create 10,000 plus Islamabad Lal Masjid insurgency?... What do you in your highest esteemed wisdom advice then, master?

Okay, but what are you proposing? To shut down the national highway? That's just counterproductive, the goal here is to increase regional connectivity.

There are other solutions to controlling mass crowds and madrassahs which can be found, never have I heard the proposal of just completely shutting down motorways connective cities...

80 lbs is normal load for an infantrymen. Combat load could reach or exceed 120 lbs. M203 waist belt alone can hold 12 rounds, this weight is outside rucksack.
