Everytime its same story. Vehicles getting ambushed. What's really wrong that it keeps happening?

I have already said it before

PA Is to counterinsurgency what IAF is to aerial warfare

Incompetency all over. No other word to explain this

Small Convoys are usually led by Kaptaans / Laftaains or even JCOs.

By the way, there has been an incident involving a 2 star getting hit in an IED attack on his vehicle as well. Maj Gen Sanaullah Niazi.

Yeah, one general in 25 years. Pitiful leadership.

I'm curious that last week PA neutralised some 50 scumbags and the OP didn't bat an eye lid yet he's always first to open a thread on any Pakistani casualties using any source that first reports any incident.
Now the same source is saying that Two soldiers were Martyred .

Two different places

One the OP mentioned is in Balochistan. Your post is about Bajaur

Anyways there is little to discuss here. BLA right now has upper hand against Pakistani military. Pakistani casualties are too high and apparently PA is losing the war on ground against BLA charsis. And all this is happening due to indifference and lack of ingenuinity of PA leadership. They simply have no idea what to do in Balochistan against BLA

PA needs to wake up. Go on offensive. Rebuild its intelligence structure in Balochistan. Or else this would keep happening. Current strategy is failing. Nobody can cover that

We are not Indians. We can't and shouldn't defend open and clear failures

Sad news, it's heartbreaking but this has been happening for decades. Balochistan is a large area, sometimes army travels to 500km in no man land, this is where the militants are waiting to target army, the militants can reach their destination through 1000 different ways, the same way militants enter from Afghanistan in to Pakistan via 1000s of different ways. Militants also live in the mountains, hunt for food etc, and upon intelligence they employ hit and run attacks on the armed forces.

Even superpower like the USA will struggle to deal with this issue, it takes alot of resources to tackle this problem, for example millions of troops, aircover 24 7, aircover with military convey, militants hideouts must be located and destroyed, all their connections, sleepercells destroyed, handlers dealt with.

Pakistan only option is to give full protection to the troop conveys, armoured vehicles must be able to protect troops until they regroup and fight off attackers, a few ariel drones to give them intel on the attackers before the attack. There is no other solution, after 20 years we will be at the same place.

locals are not on our side.

locals are not on our side.

It's more complicated than that. Pakistan has all the landlords on its side, these people have big connections, can buy intelligence. Someone out in this world is giving intelligence to the rebels, if our rulers can launder billions monthly to foreign nations, do people believe they don't keep the rebels alive to keep the army occupied, the rebels number around 1000 maximum, they keep deploying hit and run tactics and run off to the mountains, if rebels are killed, more are recruited. So out of 10m population, 1000 rebels is not a big thing, especially when the population has genuine grievances, they are poor despite supplying gas to all over Pakistan, their landlords are brutal and supported by Pakistan federal government, lack of reforms, education, this all contributes to the rebellion. A poor person, family is unwell, no future, the rebels pay a few lakhs a month to recruit him, upon death extra money is given to family, the rebels make money through black economy.

How can Pakistan tackle this? This is why we struggled for 30 years and most likely next 30 or even 50 years will be the same.

Field Marshal needs to start firing people and asking questions.

Faulty intelligence, lack of action, inadequate operations, inability to remove sleeper cells. Consistently weak posture all around.

The BLA doesn't pay for intelligence bro. It has a large HUMINT network of locals that willingly give it out of support to the group.

If anything Pakistan is the one paying for it

Why doesnt any General or Brigadier or Colonel ever die in these attacks ? Always jawans and junior officers. Must be very demoralizing for the ranks.

This is also part of why CPEC is a flop. Another feather in cap of khakis.

The Generals are too busy occupying Bahria Town to make another DHA to worry about low class soldiers dying
