Afghan troops kill 100 Taliban during 5-day battle in Helmand

Both trained by US.

One trained by the US, the other by NATO - big difference

US took lead role though.

Indeed but there is sure some Brittish and German quality included

Afghan armed forces can train their neighbor to demonstrate the same efficacy.

And here comes the pearls of wisdom. Seriously the level of rational thinking drops to its lowest among Indians when it comes to that particular neighbor.

Hopefully the Afghan army holds there ground in the coming years.
I heard the other day that the situation had calmed to a level that now the police is taking charge of previously army run locations.

On topic is there another link which suggests the same number of taliban killed by ANSF? Not that I wont to undermine the Afghan forces but the number looks rather exaggerated in just 5 days.

Thats true, but only in some areas.

But again our police have Humvees, Ak-47 and RPG not an ordinary police force

Well for the matter of holding ground, then we can only hope that no French training was included

100 in 5 days is not impossible. 20 a day keeps the Talibs at bay

How many militants has ISPR claimed to have killed in last 5 days ?

We should hope the ratio is better soon because 21 dead to even a 100 Talibs is not amazing but then again the army is quite young.

True, but on the first day the ratio was 16 ANSF killed and only 9 Taliban killed. They launched many ambushes and we suffered a lot, now we are responding.

Thanks but I'll pass the trolling bait.

No trolling mate.. But from Dawn.com, ISPR has claimed to have killed almost 150+ militants in last 5 days. Didnt see you guys doubting that number as exaggerated.
