What's new

Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad - Updates, News and Discussions.

The terrorists aren't using hideouts anymore, they're operating directly from their houses. Where they have their wives and children. Hitting them there isn't possible, you can only hunt them when they're outside looking for you. At most you can spy on their hideouts via HUMINT or aerial ISR, or by bugging the whole place.

You can kill them when they're out looking to ambush you, you can kill them when they're planting bombs (route monitoring techniques) and occasionally in IBOs.

Need leverage.

First move 300k troops into NWFP with tanks.

Push up to the border to squeeze them back into Afghanistan.

Then get the big boys out, not the mortars, get the heavy bombs out and fire a warning shot at Kunar/Nuristan on the outskirts. Lay down your arms. No response, get closer and closer.

For this to work you need full coverage in NWFP, the sleeper cells no doubt will wake up when they hear news and that's when you get them.

That'll cost a lot of money, plus leave other parts of the country undefended.

These combing operations aren't as simple, terrorists can easily hide in the local population, arms can be stashed across the area.

This will only lead to IEA actively supporting TTP against Pakistan. They have very little to loose compared to us.

Getting full coverage is much cheaper than you think. It just needs political and military will. In the era of HAPS, PTDS and other ISR assets it's very cheap compared to full fledged operations.

I'd say, deploy 8500 more troops per district, and place them in 10 FOBs, each with 850 troops. Have them deploy reconnaissance balloons and other WAMI assets (catapult launch drones for ISR etc..) have cameras pointing at every village near a route used by troops to see who's leaving to plant IEDs or landmines. Equip them with MRAPs and other protective gear, and task them to find and destroy IEDs planted on roads. And of course have gunships and UCAVs on standby.

All the while, FC and Army normally conduct their activities in the region. With a slight improvement in their gear.

So basically, you'll have 2 different methods of operations being conducted in the same area.

Not sure if right thread?

We need a specific thread for monitoring terrorism in KPK. Spectrum of Raad'ul Fasaad is too wide.
Thank goodness he was just injured and there werent any fatalities. Seems like the terrorists are targetting civs now instead of military. Built up frustration from the on going ibos?

That too, plus some of forces, particularly the army, are getting pretty hard to successfully attack.
FC sadly remains vulnerable. Still, with the amount of insurgents that have been killed/captured in the last two months is nothing short of staggering, on top of that, the IEA has started squeezing them too.

When an enemy is at its weakest, it picks on the easiest targets. A sort of farce to make it seem like they’re still powerful.

Then we need to hit them harder. Constant drone surveillance on the border to stop cross border movements and ramp up in IBOs

I think targeting local leaders (politicians and tribal elders) was always a part of TTPs and other group's Modus Operandi.
It's too early to say if it's loss of capabilities or their increase.

Hearing reports from NWZ of a possible ambush by TTP against army/fc. Ttp claims 5 killed. Awaiting further confirmation
