Five soldiers martyred in IED blast in Kurram: ISPR

[Lulldapull]

If you have 1000s of people crossing the borders everyday, trading, have families on both sides its difficult situation to be in, if you stop them they will turn against you and if you allow it then the trouble makers come with it. The militants definitely have inside help, like how they targeted military bases, they have the intelligence, people who supply them with weaponary. Those on a mission are most likely already inside Pakistan as sleeper cells, and wait till they get the go ahead and are informed where to target and where the weapons are.

The smugglers, drug lords, mafias all operate in those regions. They must have a big network.

Irani in ko maar daaltay hain…..they have no mercy and they have a few major incidents each year, depending on US/Israeli intervention. In our case this is a weekly occurrence.

You notice da diff?

We can’t do it bro……we are not hard enough nor do we have da experience of these irani’s no?

Kuttay key tarha maarna aur tribals ko insaan de putter banana is not something wes good at.

What's stopping Pakistan from forming a joint security force with Iran to conduct operations inside each other territories. Jointly destroy the terrorists and their hideouts, do the same in Afghanistan but our rulers chicken out each time. The problem is alot deeper than we know.

Gen Raheel Sharif tried doing the right thing……sorting out this issue, and he almost succeeded…..but when he was gone, the problem has resurfaced to haunt us full on.

To me this indicates there is sporadic infiltration from Afghani side. We can't stop them from coming in. It is very hard to seal our western border.

Latest attack on fence and FC posts from Afghanistan in this area as this is one of the TTP's infiltration route into Pakistan.

yaar can't we like mine these deep ravines in hopes so maybe these guys step on the mines and blow off their feet or legs?

Inhon nay baaz to ne aana.......we both know. Soviet butterfly mines come to mind. Millions of them.

They'll keep on trying infiltrating with desperate hopes of killing our soldiers or doing some sort of khud kush hamlay in our country.

He certainly did, he went to the UK and mentioned "we will never allow shadow of ISIS in our region" Alot of people thought Pakistan is incapable of starting operations against militants but Raheel Sharif proved Pak army is fully capable, he prosecuted terrorists in military courts, took the war to the militants but after his retirement Pak army went on the back foot again. Noone can explain why? Pakistan should have destroyed them all and their networks, supported the tribal lashkars and anti ttp militants and took the war to Afghanistan, today taliban would have respected us and we would have more allies than the taliban.

They will keep on coming for decades, just like for the past 20 years, the area is 100s of KM long, with valleys, forests, villages. Anyone can come.

It all fell apart when Gen. Raheel left office. Corrupt worthless people are at the helm now. Nalaiq/ NaEhl begherat…..

That’s why our boys are dying for nothing.

This means nothing this piece of crap is only there as a photo op. If he really cared or if bajwa really cared why did they never respond to the deaths by doing something practical and allowing the same mistakes to repeatedly happen.
Back in 2019 scores of pak soldiers were getting killed in the LOC bajwa just stood and watched and shrugged his shoulders.
Trust me on the old forum whenever ppl brought up the losses of shaheed we were banned.

ISIS, ISKP, AQ and many other factions thriving in Afghanistan are trained in making IEDs.

How comes the Taliban who is Pakistani ally doesn't take action against them, are they weak or simply have changed their friendship. When Turkey tried to increase their influence in Afghanistan, Pakistan wasn't happy and many senior PDF members claimed Afghanistan is our backyard etc. So what is going on now?

Because at the end the Afghans have always considered you lesser people from history who have stolen lands from them . Compound that with the overall impression in Taliban that Pakistan betrayed them and then the general Afghan “blame” on a people for the Afghan war… the same people who hosted them for 40 years.

Unless that border is sealed off with money spent that ensures anyone outside of crossings gets a bullet or a missile - which is extremely expensive as a perpetual situation

OR

You Sanitize your area and then expand a massive covert network in Afghanistan that guides kill strikes on an almost constant basis which reminds them of the PTSD from the US occupation.. and maybe you get some respite… but it’s still expensive.

Either way, thanks to the decision makers who made the screwed up decisions that led to this economic situation… you really can only spend lives since you have money

why not both?

need to cut other wasteful expenditures, both civil and military, and invest in security.
