Operation Ghazab Lil Haq (Pakistan - Afghanistan War)

Taking a step back, let's realize there has been a massive drop in the number of attacks inside Pakistan. This means the strategy to take the offensive inside Afghanistan is working. The Taliban terrorists still have sleeper cells inside Pakistan being hosted by our own tribal and KPK people (which is a betrayal of Pakistan by these people and they should be taken to task for it) and they will be able to do some damage. But the punishment being meted out inside of Afghanistan is having an effect.

The one concern is that our network on the ground inside Afghanistan has not been able to eliminate any Taliban personalities of import. They are losing cannon fodder on the ground but the orchestrators are still in place. Unless these bastards are disrupted, the current policy to continue terrorism inside Pakistan will continue.

By way of contrast, one can see how the Israelis have operated against Irani/Hizbollah leadership. They did the ground-work and devastated the key personalities. Pakistan's operations seem to be focused on the tactical. Whether this is by design or on account of a lack of network inside Afghanistan remains to be seen but the cannon fodder can and will be replaced. Posts will be reconstructed etc.

So providing a daily count of posts destroyed and Taliban terrorists neutralized every day is the same exercise as counting the IBOs and these have limited efficacy. The focus needs to be on the outcomes achieved instead of "activities" undertaken.
All the data is relevant as it provides a correlation.

"UPDATE: Pakistani Officials reacting to the Afghan claim said that the Afghan Taliban are responsible for the fire that gutted the shops, “Pakistan is only targeting the military targets of the Afghan taliban, by setting fire to their own buildings the Afghan Taliban are trying to gain sympathy of a lost war” they said."
 
Pro-Taliban propaganda that painted it as a holy group and any narrative that promoted Afghanistan as brothers was a betrayal of Pakistan's national security and a crime against the Pakistani people.

The narrative seems to be largely correcting now but it must be a permanent understanding that the promotion of militant extremism, violent groups vying for influence within Pakistan, or people with hatred for Pakistan and its integrity must never be promoted.

Afghanistan was, and is, an untrustworthy snake, and the Taliban is a violent militant group that serves as an sepaparatist extension of it.


afghanistan is JUST AS MUCH an enemy of Pakistan as india is.
 
But there is a HUGE difference too.

Afghanistan is not the same level of threat. They don't have a large airforce, nuclear weapons, brahmos, gigantic navy.
they have killed more pakistanis than india just this year , there is no competition . india is big blows while afg is death by million cuts neither should be ignored
 

So much bombings and military campaign and still they are not stopping?

When its going to end ? Military should give, the generals in charge of operations a timeline to fix the situation. Its 20 years + and we have failed to remove terrorism.

But I think overall its Pakistanis that have killed more Pakistanis the most this year.

Though good start we have atleast lesser people dying from outside’s actions. Overall casualties will be lower I hope

You are being pessimistic here. If data is correct, then attacks on Pakistani soil have dramatically fallen, so kinetic ops are proved effective.

We will need to slow down because of the unexpected oil and fuel situation.

Hopefully, we hold onto small enclaves within Afg to force the enemy to direct resources there. We can defend those enclaves without worrying too much about the oil shortage and resume ingress again later, if needed.

Also worth noting that the only weapon these people have left against us is the same weapon they always had - terror strikes against soft targets. Their days are really beginning to look numbered now.

IMO, the winning looks like the way it was in 1990s with Taliban 1.0. Pakistan had no security at western border and still there was no terrorism at all. Mullah Omar was ally of Pakistan, he used to say about india, that if Pakistan is attacked that means Afghanistan is attacked. This is what strategic victory looks like.

We need to have a friendly govt in Kabul, only that will ensure a friendly secure border. They will takecare of security at their end. We don't have to commit valuable resources for such a large unmanageable border.

No matter how much we bomb afghanistan, we can never have a 100% security. a hostile will always finds a way to harm us. We will have to commit unbelievable amount of resources at this useless front (which we could have utilized to buy some big ticket purchases like J-35s or others). I am not saying that we should stop military op. I am saying military op should be only a small part of a bigger strategy. Military op itself can never be a strategy at all. Dropping bombs is not winning. Real Victory is having a friendly / brotherly govt at your neighbors. Now you do this either by regime change or by talks or whatever should be end goal.
