In general, there are a number of plausible explanations for not attacking every single "convoy" of enemy vehicles despite visual confirmation from e.g. a surveillance drone or even human intel on the ground.

Not least, there is always an "opportunity cost" of instant engagement to be considered - I.e. does one attack a convoy immediately upon sight, or does one allow it to lead to a larger rally point, or to some natural choke point, where they may merge with other forces and/or be even more exposed to our fire?

I recall footage from the Ukraine/Russia fronts where Ukrainian teams would wait and wait and wait for just the right moment to strike a vehicle convoy in order to ensnare the enemy fully, to trap them with fire at BOTH ends, and cause the entire convoy to become stuck in a closed fire zone.
Solid solid post! 💯
 
We didn't hit any convoy

We are using 60 mm mortars to puncture humvees

This is a joke seriously
Chill my friend..... your rants are like cries of a five year old badgering her mom for more chocolate.
 
People that talk about the lack of air assets as the reason for the lack of large scale airstrikes forget that at one point PAF was conducting 150+ airstrikes per month in tribal areas alone during peak WOT days and that was back in 2009-14 so that argument is completely stupid
 
This real?

I will add that your have to treat the Talban the way you would the Mongols. Their local support depends on bloodlust. They do not have the capacity for systems building so to remain relevant they have to be in a perpetual state of war. This also explains ther obsession with trophies and gore. The obvious solution is to minimize their access to trophies. If thet cannot show a lot for their efforts their moral will break. Turtling while maintaining opportunistic hits will work much better for long term results than going in gung ho and giving them war trophies to parade and generate war support.
Fully agree with your analogy!

They behave like the sons and brothers of Hulagu the destroyer. The response must be systematic, organised and efficient, not reckless.
