"A co-ordinated Taliban assault on checkpoints in
southern Afghanistan has killed five police officers
and 25 Taliban fighters, local officials have said."..
So Afgan police have killed 25 talibans while losing 5 cops...not bad for them.

In terms of attrition, yes, in terms of morale, no.

Even losing a single cop against untrained militants is seen as a failure.

It's good ratio 1:5.
Keep it up Afghanistan .

ANA is not even involved, Afghani cops are doing awesome job.
Did you talk about attrition ??In IED blasts, not a single militant is killed but I don't think it lower's the resolve of organization whose personel takes the hit.

The ANA will not play as big a role as the ANP and ALP after the NATO pullout. ANA don't enforce law and order, the ANP/ALP do, which is why they're being targeted by the Taliban.

Taliban thrive on chaos. The more dead cops, the more chaos because of a lack of security. The more chaos there is, the more the public turns against the government that's supposed to bring law and order. When the government fails, it'll leave a power vacuum that the Taliban can exploit by bringing in their own fighters to bring law and order, thus filling the vacuum.

It's a classic insurgent tactic in order to gain territory.

The Taliban don't care how many insurgents die, they've already proven that they're resilient. The ANP/ALP face chronic problems such as desertions and defections. Any loss the ANP/ALP take is just another weakness that the Taliban can exploit.

Read this it may help you out of your delusions and while reading just don't ignore that this is the very first year when ANP is on it's own .

"The Afghan provincial
government spokesman in
Helmand province told Al
Jazeera that actually this is a
success, they've pushed back
the Taliban and it shows that the Afghan security forces can
do well on their own."

Afghan cops are better than the whole of pakistani army in countering insurgency and they are the one who bleeds the most for Afghanistan - ANA or any special/elite combat forces are not involved in major counter insurgency raids and the job is not so big that they bother themselves! the rest they put it on NDS (Afghan intelligence) and responsible police units.

They can't fight ANP face to face on the contrary ANP have taken the toll on Taliban very high!! and the more they succeed to kill ALP the more their ground is shortened because ALP is recruited among the local people, you know what I mean!

And you are right as long as pakistani population grows Taliban are not hesitant of how many fighters they lose

 

[BATMAN]

TTP use RDX and IED to fight Pak army while, who ANA druglords always face open battles.

 

[pakistani342]

One of the two of us must live on different planets I guess -- I guess jingoism has no bounds.

Ask your government to start arming Talibans with RDX and IED.Crying river on forums won't help you much.

Why not, they are so good they can't keep up with the insurgency in their own ranks, and once a week a Afghan Army officer dies to a closet Taliban in ANA or Afghan police....

Id suggest u to be queit kiddo.

It's proven! go see and compare the counter insurgency engagements of pakistani army and afghan police in many random insurgency tracking websites for the region.

And you are right as long as pakistani population grows Taliban are not hesitant of how many fighters they lose

If foreign people can control your country like this, then Afghanistan has a serious problem

'Success without NATO
Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, spokesman for the Taliban, told Al Jazeera that a group of local Taliban had captured three government checkpoints during the attacks.

He said the Taliban had killed a number of Afghan security forces, including two top Afghan police commanders in the area as part of its spring offensive.

Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse, reporting from Kabul, said that amid the conflicting reports it was agreed that it was the largest Taliban attack since the group launched its offensive in April.

Glasse said it was significant that Afghan security forces did not ask for NATO assistance.

"This, of course, is the year that Afghan security forces take control of security of the entire country, NATO watching to see how they'll do," she said.

"The Afghan provincial government spokesman in Helmand province told Al Jazeera that actually this is a success, they've pushed back the Taliban and it shows that the Afghan security forces can do well on their own."

Bomb kills police
The fighting came as officials said that a powerful roadside bomb killed seven policemen in the Chishti Sharif district of Herat province in western Afghanistan.

The policemen died when their vehicle hit the explosive device planted in the road on Tuesday morning, police said.

The officers were from the Afghan Public Protection Force, a government-run force that provides security for international supply convoys, aid groups and foreign-funded reconstruction sites.

The blast ripped through the vehicle as the men were heading to Obe district in Herat, where India is rebuilding a major hydroelectric dam.

Sher Agha, the district police chief, said that the explosion was so strong that the police truck was obliterated in the blast and there were no survivors.

There was no claim of responsibility for the deadly assault on the policemen, who were guards of the Salma dam project and were on their way to Herat city.
