A few very interesting aspects of this operation against the Taliban terrorists.

1- This operation is led by the so called "Western Theatre" force which Pakistan had been raising and training since the last few years. There is absolutely no impact on the Military deployed in the East against India.

2- The Western force has its own "Drone Force and Operators".

3- It seems that F-16s and Mirages are currently deployed for this action against Taliban. But more advanced jets can certainly be deployed if required.

4- This military action against the Taliban is providing invaluable and priceless war experience to the forces in the West.

By the Western Theatre force, you probably mean FC. Is there any proof that we've been increasing its size and capability?

Guys

Also worth remembering Afghan Army org is a bit weird and set up very differently to Pak Army and other conventional armies, including numbers

Basically Afghan Corps = Pak Army Division
Afghan Brigade = 1-2 Pak Battalions

They do not have a Corps-Division-Brigade-Battalion structure like most other armies.

Also worth noting that a typical Pak Army Infantry Corps will have massive supporting units attached (like an Armoured Brigade, Artillery Brigade, Signals Battalion, Air defence battalion etc etc), Afghan units do not have this.

Not to mention PAF support to ground troops.

Since when did they get(or USA leave behind) "450 Hermes drones, and around 100 advanced Israeli-origin drones were taken out in the operation" ??

Pakistan announces a partial airspace closure for commercial flights until March 31.

According to the NOTAM, selected ATS route segments in Karachi and Lahore FIRs will remain unavailable daily from 0900–1500 PKT (March 3–31, 2026) due to operational reasons.

There might be a few reasons why Pakistan is doing this. I think the main reason is to monitor and possibly stop anything going to Taliban via 3rd parties/countries. Also, with the Iranian situation, I think Pakistan inteligence is aware of something (which we obviously don't know) and hence it wants to take control of the situation.

Short answer Yes. There is no single piece of news that fully outlines this. However, here is what is publically known.

  • Significant Expansion (2007–Present): Following 2007, the government planned to expand the force significantly, raising it to over 100,000 personnel, with at least 70,000 active personnel reported as of 2017.
  • 67 New Wings (2022): In January 2022, military officials confirmed that 67 new wings were established for FC Balochistan and FC Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to strengthen border management, with more in the process of being added.
  • Recent Expansions (2025–2026): Reports from early 2026 indicate that Pakistan is raising a dedicated, separate Frontier Corps to specifically protect mineral-rich areas (such as Reko Diq) and secure the border with Iran and Afghanistan.
  • Specialized Units: The force has been restructured to include specialized divisions for border security, with 41 new wings added for tasks including riot control and specialized operations.
----------------
Key Aspects of the FC's Drone Force Integration:
  • Establishment & Training: As of mid-2025, there are initiatives to train at least 10,000 certified drone operators, which specifically includes personnel from the Frontier Corps, Rangers, and Police.
  • Operational Focus: The FC is increasingly using drones for surveillance and to counter threats along the border with Afghanistan.
  • Equipment & Procurement: Pakistan is strengthening its defenses by deploying counter-drone systems and procuring drones from China and Turkey. The arsenal includes, or is expected to include, quadcopters and small, tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) suitable for paramilitary operations.
  • Purpose: The integration of these capabilities is largely to counter cross-border militant infiltration, particularly from the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)
