Army will never leave FATA. BAT HQ are being planned in all strategic districts of FATA with DIV HQ planned for Swat. FC will do the policing work as you say and also man strategic check posts along the key roads and continue border security duties.

Why rebuild 105mm to 100 mm ? Is greater caliber not better ?

 

[khanasifm]

Lots of 100 mm ammo lying plus fc is not using tanks in tank vs tank battle but for firepower

One tank regiment use to have 44 tanks in 4 Squardon so 2 regiments c x 44 each I guess for each fc kpk and b
