RIP to the innocent and brave afghans. May justice be done for your untimely deaths
Why is pakistan using air power to subdue the area? NO air bombing campaign in history has been free from civilian casualties- Specially in the AOR in context here, its very hard to distinguish ur "resistance" fighter from another civilian.
Killing of innocents will only add to the massive unpopularity of pak forces in the region, which unfortunately will be borne by a few rungroots on the ground.
IMHO in such scenarios where its difficult to sift the needle from the hay, ground forces should be used. But i believe the pak planners are scared of massive casualties on the ground and slow progress - i'm sure the pros and cons of an aerial route has been well thought out
