Operation Ghazab Lil Haq (Pakistan - Afghanistan War)

He went on to say that the Pakistan Air Force and the army air defence jointly monitor drones and “take them down through a combination of hard and soft kills”.

“We should know that the character of war has evolved and it is evolving very fast,” he said. “We are in the era of drone warfare and non-contact warfare.”

Giving the example of the Middle East war, DG ISPR noted that multiple drones and other projectiles reached their targets, despite the use of “one of the best air defence systems”.

“All of the drones that are coming in are being taken out, and we’ll continue to do that,” Lt Gen Chaudhry stated, noting that this illustrated the threat Pakistan faced from the Afghan Taliban.

Asked about Pakistan’s endgame in Afghanistan, DG ISPR said it was “clear as day”.

“Afghanistan should not be used as a base of operations for terrorism inside Pakistan,” he stated.

“The choice has to be made by the Afghan Taliban regime — is the TTP more important to them or Pakistan? Is terrorism more important to them than peace? They have to make a choice.

“Our choice is very clear: it’s Pakistan, first and last,” he asserted.

Asked about negotiations between Islamabad and Kabul breaking down, Lt Gen Chaudhry said talks failed because Afghanistan “is not ready to let go of terrorism”.

“We asked them to create a verifiable mechanism ensuring that terrorism will not take place in Pakistan,” he stated. “We proved that Afghans are behind acts of terrorism. [Terrorist] leaders are sitting there; they (Afghan Taliban) are hiding them in government buildings.”

He said that Pakistan was open to talks, but said that Kabul could not approach Islamabad while supporting terrorism through recruitment and training camps.

“We have a very just demand and all of our friends acknowledge it: that this cannot happen, where you (Kabul) say ‘we will talk’ but at the same time send terrorists to our country. These two things cannot go together,” he asserted.

“There are only two things produced by the Afghan Taliban: terrorism and drugs. This is their business and these two things are linked,” he added.

He added that Afghanistan was not a normal state and “terrorism and the war economy are a way of life”.

The remarks by the military’s spokesperson come after targeted overnight airstrikes were carried out in Kabul and Nangarhar amid Operation Ghazab lil-Haq. A day earlier, Pakistan maintained that it had targeted ‘Camp Phoenix’ — a former US military base currently being used by Afghan Taliban forces — even as Afghanistan claimed a drug rehabilitation centre had been bombed instead.

I would expect the PAF to be able to generate high hundreds of missions per day against something like India, so hearing of exhaustion on the Afghan front is odd to me.

yeah and i asked panzer whether it was just single squadron doing these strikes and he replied with

so difference between whole PAF vs probably just few pilots from single squadron that did these strikes .

All momentum and gains in this war will be entirely lost and reversed if Pakistan cowers away because of social media cries by entering a ceasefire. You must show resolve that it does not affect you. Adapt your information space strategy, do not concede space, and do your job.

The type of weapons we are using against Afghanistan, we should be able to replace easily it's not like we are firing cruise missiles at them

REK's are made locally (outside Islamabad if I recall). JDAM will need replacement.

 

[Sparten]

Maybe - maybe not.
But initially we actually had trouble picking and tracking them - subsequently, the radars had to be re-optimized to achieve better tracking parameters. They follow certain altitude trajectory and flight profile - are the talibs that advanced yet?

Its a software issue, tey fly low and slow that the RADAR ignores them as clutter or birds.

"Saar why you use PAF Saar" My guy if you think a few strike missions is such a toll on the PAF then they quite literally don't stand chance in any actual conflict but that's clearly not the case.

Also why spent a billion dollars building and Manning a border fence but that didn't stop the infiltrations did it? Literally arguing for the sake of arguing.

Its not a matter of if PAF stands a chance or no or capability or toll. Its more about long term permanent soloution of never ending Afghan problem.

and again, its not billion dollars buildings and manning......my man, we have come far away from thaose ancient times.

saar being proud of your forces, especially PAF is good, very commendable, but utilizing PAF to counter cavemen is not wise saar....

saar we lumber bune ij not the right mindset, think saar think....dont become jeets saar.

I apologize for "SAAr" but you started it.

i am not against Air strikes, when necessery.

There must be a way to add some weight to these mortar shells to have them fall in straight line rather than zig zagging due to wing, and often hit several feet from the target, i mean they are cheap ways to hit fleeing terrorists but we see videos of T's running away easily after a close hit which could means they don't do much damage.

 

[Sparten]

DG ISPR added that precision-guided munitions (PGMs) were used in strikes, as opposed to cheaper general-purpose bombs, which could cause greater collateral damage.

“We are being very careful. We are using PGMs directly where the terrorist support infrastructure is. That is what we used over here,” he added, referring to the Kabul strike.

Do we even use dumb bombs anymore? I mean I know they are in stock, but one REK roleout started, as far as I undeerstand, standard loadout for strike missions has been JDAM, REK and Takbir kitted bombs plus purpose builyt smart munitions.

He also highlighted the Afghan Taliban’s lack of credibility.

“There is no credibility to their claims; the world knows it, we know it. They make claims and then delete them. They are discredited and liars,” he said.

True.

“Has anyone asked how someone can set up a drug rehabilitation centre around an ammunition depot where you store weapons? Is there a hospital anywhere in the world which has been built next to an ammunition store?” he asked.

Fair point

Lt Gen Chaudhry said that the rehabilitation centre was a “military containerised structure”.

“That was a military containerised structure in which they probably kept suicide bombers who were being trained, or they were hiding terrorists, or housing Afghan Taliban fighters.

“I don’t know what was in there. That was not our target, but if they claim that there were drug addicts at the site, then this is an old habit of theirs where they use drug addicts as suicide bombers, and it was most likely some training facility,” he said.

I suspect at least some of these addicts were destined to be used as suicide bombers, but I expect that was a dual-purpose facility, possibly using the treatment of addicts as a cover. Not all, maybe not even most weren't future bombers.

The motar was tumbling end over end. That is clearly purposeful as ot provides greater stability as it falls. @JamD might be able to explain better.

It was all over the place, but also wasn't a bad hit, very close to car and anyone sitting in the back must have gotten some splinters, but like i said there has to be a better affordable solution for dropping a mortar shell which is all over the place by winds specially in areas like Afg-Pak border with hills and mountains. Or maybe we need to start dropping 2 simultaneously to increase the probability of injured T's to be killed.

Am deeply ashamed of Pakistan today. Mods can give me a warning. I don't care. It needed to be said.

Talibs WOULD NOT HESITATE to strike us on Eid, declaring us as "kaffir" for not bowing to their vile dreams of ethnic supremacy.

Pakistan should have put a condition at least, in case of any terrorist attack or cross border atempt will be the end...
