What's new

Look at the firearms siezed today!

before raw supplying old retired weapons to terrorests now they are supplying modern one. send these weapons for operation in dara adam kheel to make them more polished
 
It couldnt be the ANA - these rifles look fresh out of the factory.


1: It has been years since containers passed through Pakistan and I'm pretty sure these guns if were from NATO would've been used during the peak of the war. Taliban were in dire need of weapons and ammunition - I'm pretty sure they wouldnt have store them.

2: Where exactly are they going to get 'Chinese knockoffs'? - they can make and copy simple rifles like the Ak-47, but nothing like this especially when their assets were bombed 10 feet under ground by Operation Zarb e Azb.

The containers are all not hijacked by Taliban. The more likely culprits are armed pirate gangs which capture them and sell off the loot. Most of the kidnaps by Taliban do not happen by their men directly. It is usually a loosely tied group who does the kidnap for ransom and think about what to do with the hostage. They end up trading the hostage to the highest bidder by means of money or kind. Taliban is a natural buyer for them. The same should go with weapons and they have no cost to store away for years(no need for food and constant supervision).

To make an AK, one needs raw materials which are hard to find or recycle. If China can sell cheap phones, they can sell cheap guns as well. There are enough arms agents who can do business with just about anyone. There are better controls on US arms contractors today. But not so for Chinese. Even for US arms, there are enough avenues to smuggle them out. Thankfully the drug route to US is not as much utilized by the jihadis because of the lack of familiarity.

Ruby, a lot of containers go missing between Torkham and Kabul.
 
Heavy weapons and ammunition were seized today at Peshawar after soldiers raided suspected militants. From the looks of it - it is unlikely these are clones, nearly all TTP infrastructure has been destroyed and the remaining weapon factories are not capable of producing something like this.
