Baluchistan is probably 5-10x times the size of entire FATA, its gonna take a huge amount of troops to clear Baluchistan and even then its not guaranteed that peace will be lasting, we have seen this with former FATA and KPK, peace will come only and only once locals decide that enough of this BLA/BRA BS, and if they have some reservations with Govt than negotiate, vote and bring better leaders in power.Lets be realistic here, we can barely bomb Afghanistan for some weeks before international pressure stop us.
Only Waziristan operation model at large scale can work in Balochistan.

I agree we are due a large scale operation in Baluchistan for a long time, because IBO's are not enough and we haven't seen any major BLA/BRA leader been killed, one thing that will help is that population of Baluchistan is fraction compared to FATA, so relocating IDP's won't be a big issue if manage properly, but give there is huge unforgiving terrain in Baluchistan, we need armed drones, attack helicopters with night vision capability, Divide Baluchistan into sectors and seal the border, cut off the escape and then start clearing the villages and towns, recruit locals for intel and security against the BLA, and i would say once there is some sense of normality return start building some infrastructure, Solar panel can be revolutionary in Baluchistan's isolated villages, hoping that those are not given to BLA.It will not be permanent but do it few times and you will have peace. Can't control terrorism? Too bad, time for clean up. Shift to camps to live like goats as army destroy anything that moves outside them. Thats when locals will discourage their sons joining terrorists.
Pakistan will get enough profits from Reko diq to finance large scale operation clean up in Balochistan. Thats why first Balochistan need to be divided and provinces made from it rewarded if there is no terrorism.
