Pakistan Army Armoured Corps makes Military history, unprecedented World Record

[Aamir Hussain]

The so called "Midget Tank" is M3 Stuart of WWII fame. It is a light tank for scouting purposes. PA also had these tanks.

Actually it was M5 stuart, weighing 15 tonnes.

Re-post of my earlier comment - this is Pakistani territory, as pointed out by the link I provided earlier, and Pakistan had and has a need to control this territory to prevent cross-border terrorist movement, from Afghanistan into Pakistan.

The Pakistan flag fluttered 12,000 feet above sea level, on the Brekh Muhammad Kandao peak in the rugged Rajgal Valley of Khyber Agency, much sooner than anticipated after Pakistani forces completed Phase-I of Operation Khyber-IV, security officials said on Saturday.

Following an overnight push on Friday, the troops captured the strategic mountaintop which provided militants a vantage point to scan for and preempt any attempt to dislodge them from their last bastion.

“Every inch of the area was rigged with IEDs (improvised explosive devices),” a senior security official who looked over the operational success told The Express Tribune. “We defused 31 IEDs on our way to the summit,” he added.

Not engaging in the dispute as to whose territory it is; I'm pointing out the territory is disputed between Afghanistan and Pakistan and therefore the stationing of this tank for reasons of "strategy" - an undefined, maybe permanent period of time - rather than out of very temporary tactical necessity will likely not improve Pakistan's diplomatic standing, either with Afghanistan or with other countries. Since the decision was not out of operational necessity and had political implications, shouldn't it have been cleared at the political level?

The Afghan's can take the 'disputed border' issue up in the UN or any other relevant international forum. Until such time as a relevant international forum issues a 'cease and desist' injunction that is binding upon Pakistan, the border remains internationally recognized, accepted by the UN, and Pakistan will deploy troops, build fences and do whatever else it deems necessary on her territory.

Apparently an internationally recognized border of a country suddenly becomes disputed upon the whims of a single nation that breaks all international laws to make those whims and somehow the country whose border is recognized by the world becomes the bad guy for fortifying the border and securing the passes to make sure terrorist movement are zero ad the area is secured especially when the said fortification borders the area which is under the control of ISIS... Most ridiculous thing I have ever heard..

The peak and pass belong to Pakistan and Pakistan's act of securing the territory which it took from the terrorists so that terrorists will never be able to set foot in Pakistan territories is a commendable action one that must be appreciated..

Apparently securing your territory so that terrorists won't target your state or neighbor state is the whims and fancies of an army..

If securing our lands and securing our border passes so that heinous acts of the terrorists that have been inflicted upon the people of Pakistan are not repeated, angers our neighbor senselessly then that is a small price to pay.... If the mission is to make our neighbors happy then let's give everything west of Indus to Afghanistan and all of GB and ajk to India... Everybody is happy

Another neg. Apparently the big issue is whether I'm permitted to criticize the Pakistani military at all on this forum.

It's my tax dollars at work, both in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

write that to your govt and question it to them not here, You have the right to question your GOVT and not us, because you have entrusted your govt with your money as they are spending as they see it fit. SO u shud be bitching about it with them

My "confusion" is irrelevant; the relevance is that the Afghan gov't claims the pass where the P.A. is currently deployed.

LOL, the hypocrisy of Zionist is appalling, When entire world and UN speaks about Palestinians land, you lot just dismiss it and totally ignore yet have the shameful audacity to question us on dubious claim

Ok M5 was a later version of M3 developed during the war. BTW both weighed more or less 15 tons.

Pakistan used Chaffee light tanks in 65' affectionately called "Mohd. Shafee" in Pak Army then!

 

[HAIDER]

Special engine coolants, hydrolic fluids and fuel is used.


World record....LOL
Indian tanks at 11500-12000ft during battle of Zozila, 1948.

In Ladakh at 14000ft in 1962

At 15000+ft in Ladakh

Yes, they access through rough path. But PA tank middle of nowhere...not even a man has access to those heights.

It's not about criticizing the military but what you're criticizing them over. Everyone recognizes that there is cross-border terrorist movement. The US has in fact made this cross-border terrorist movement a centerpiece of it's criticism of Pakistan. Increased border security is perhaps one of the key measures that can be taken to prevent cross-border terrorism and that is what Pakistan is doing with it's troop deployments and construction of border fences and check-posts.

Criticizing Pakistan for engaging in border security measures merely because the Afghan's have some ludicrous claims (unsupported in any international forum) about the border is what comes across as 'trolling' or unjustified criticism. Your refusal to recognize that a sovereign State has the right to enact whatever border control measures it deems fit on its own territory is what is rankling people.
