What's new

Pakistan's Special Operations Forces: SSG | SSGN | SSW | SOW | SOG

. . .
I read somewhere 100 t59 were refurbished and handed over FC kpk and baluchistan old report so may be more than 100 were provided HIT annual report for 2012/13 or so

Also they have now medium artillery 130mm guns instead of old 25 pounders

So both may have 4 sqn of tanks and 1 or 2 battalion 24-48 medium guns deployed all over the border to provide cover to forward posts , artillery is my guess and may be more not counting army units

FC was given heavy weaponry (tanks, artillery etc) to take on FATA region assault tasks of regular army in case army needs to leave the ops area midway during operation and head towards Indian border when escalation occurs. Otherwise the threat in baluchistan is of a different nature than FATA.

MRAPs should be given to FC as first priority.

Quad-copters type very small surveillance drones as second priority, Instead of a sniper team, a small quad-copter can also give a quick view of the situation. It risks being shot down so it can be take videos hovering just above tree tops or peering above or between trees branches or even roof tops of buildings etc. It also cannot fire at the enemy unlike a sniper but if its shot down, no life is lost, equipment can be replaced.

Street and urban ops on motorbikes are dangerous but there is no other alternative as such. A national dilemma is prohibition of two riders biking on certain days of a year. Body armour can save a soldier from lethal shots but thighs, legs and arms are still exposed. The first rider cannot fire till he stops the bike. The second stands up on bike rear footrest to fire his weapon. Not really safe in either condition. If bike slips, both receive injuries. In a street or urban area, its easier to handle a side-arm like pistol rather than an assault rifle. Probably Uzi type weapon is a good choice.

Every special branch in police and Military needs his own rotary wing, 2-3 Mi-17 Helicopters, of course, all under the command and structure of the Army aviation but, permanent based on the home bases of the special Forces , like SWF (special wing frontier corps Baluchistan; KPK Elite Police, SSU -Sind special police, Punjab Elite Police, CTD counter-terrorism department. Of course, you are, right there is still left a lot of work, but that need also a lot of funds, if the enemy can invest 400 Million just to create havoc in Quetta, how much blood and money we must and can throw in the battle? I think we still can do much more....

thx for the Clearance and information.
Does the gun function?



I can also confirm that the FC operates the Type-59 IIM with 105 and 125mm cannon, was many time presented on parades!
Yes, it functions. But they are deployed for point defence and not urban warfare which is why we never see them in action.
