a tactical failure by SSG and pak army and even an untrained talibans knew more about tactics? a ragtag taliban will not even be armed with a kevlar and helmet and proper gun, while the entire pak army with laiden with mortars and guns, backup soldiers, armored vehicles etc?
pakistan army cant say they dont have experience to fight in tribal areas and what sort of warfare is expected i thought they had already learned many lessons and done many drills about counter terror ops
my dear I think you missed my point, I meant to say when it comes to lower number of Soliders against Higher number of enemies in a face to face stand off, you do know which end will suffer the losses.
If you remember we had the same discussion about US Navy Seals surrendering to Pakistan Army or Making their way out of Pakistan fighting.
I don't about the terrain but looks like Tirah is a mountainous region ,so I do not see how armored vehicles could have helped them
Coming to Kevlar and Helmet, than you do know Kevlar does not provide protection against 7.62 round when fired from a short range, so please do not bring Kevlar into the discussion.
As I said not everyone among the enemy is off the street guy, some of them are hardcore militants, even US had to accept that. Stop thinking of them as illiterate, They fought with Spetnaz, remember?
Coming to mortar and artillery, than I am with you on this, but did they not have fortified bunkers built up along with tunnels? that won't do much good. However they should have been used to pond the enemy positions to provide cover support for the soliders, along with aerial support (recon only).....
I fail to understand why such move was made.
Dont take it personal...if anyone have no knowledge regarding topic its better to keep quite than burping bullsheets...I felt the need to state here and i did...I dont need your directions...Still no hard feelings...
nobody is taking anything personal sir, my post was just to clear my point and ask you to calm your horses down.
