For a conclusive Ops, a drone in the air with tech goodies is just one part of it. The ground forces need ground penetration radar with infantry, hand held mine clearing and other detection devices with sappers, jammers and EW devices with Signalmen - it becomes a complete package. Then ears and eyes on the ground through local police and "dozen" other militias like Levies, khasadar and what not.The Turkish inductees are great for that.
Even the Burraq can be made to do that with basic ELINT and Microwave/VHF jamming.
Budget not withstanding, the PA In conjunction with PAF can create a FC and PA joint command that basically keeps 2-3 UAVs airborne in racetrack over the Afpak border for a campaign and uses that to start sanitizing ops. Basically, “Pop goes the weasel” doctrine
This below movement goes undetected in Baluchistan
This is urban terrain in most of Baluchistan. dirt roads, mud houses, visibility clear from up 2km to 10 km.
This FC convoy are sitting ducks
Destroy the road from two ends, the whole convoy can be trapped.
This convoy below can be easily sniped from peaks, can be taken out by IEDs, can be targeted by MGs/RPGs and with all rounds fired then escape easily in hills and tunnels. Create a momentary land slide.
Again below, come down from peaks at around 2 am, fire at this post from 200m range from assualt rifles, RPGs and then flee back after expnding rounds around 2:45 am. Destroy solar panel to cut off power take out TX antennas.
QRF definitely needs to be helis. No ground forces can reach in time on such roads. Detection from air is required at all times. Now the new order to Police is to remove all pickets and check points in Baluchistan, I don't know how is that helpful.
So a Falcon 20 in air
A variety of these on a drone in service by PA/PAF.
and if needed, then JFT
