Ao kana...some Taliban love....



Is that guy with the hat SSG? His uniform is different, mods on gun are different as well...

If he is an SSG, then does PA insert a couple of SSG operators with the regular soldiers?

@Xeric, @Icarus.

Yes he is. Will not be specific on how we employ our men.

North Waziristan Offensive

• On July 1, Director General (DG) of the Pakistan Army’s Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Asim Bajwa, told journalists that security forces discovered a large improvised explosive device (IED) factory in Miram Shahand recovered a huge cache of explosives as part of the recent ground operation in North Waziristan Agency. Bajwa said that security forces found 225 explosives-filled cylinders, 700 pipe bombs, 10 anti-tank mines and a training facility within the factory. Gen. Bajwa reiterated that recent U.S. drone strikes are in no way related to the ongoing military operation in North Waziristan. Gen. Bajwa advised Afghan authorities to arrest Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Mullah Fazlullah, who he believes is hiding in Afghanistan. According to Gen. Bajwa, the operation in North Waziristan has killed 376 “terrorists” so far.[1]
• Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in an official statement on July 1 that Pakistan’s armed forces will eliminate all militants and militant sanctuaries indiscriminately in North Waziristan Agency. Sharif spoke with the chief of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), Air Marshal Muhammad Tahir Rafique Butt, on July 1 in Islamabad. During the meeting, Sharif praised the efforts of the PAF in the ongoing military operation.[2]
• On June 30, former DG ISPR Major General (retired) Athar Abbas told BBC Urdu that the Pakistani military’s leadership favored launching an offensive in North Waziristan in 2010, but the operation was delayed until now because of then-army chief General (retd.) Ashfaq Pervez Kayani’s indecision on whether to conduct an operation at the time. Pakistan’s military leadership first planned to launch an operation between 2010 and 2011 but postponed the operation after Kayani decided against it, Abbas claims. Abbas blamed Kayani’s personal weakness and fears that he would be held accountable for domestic backlash from the operation. Abbas also mentioned the challenges of addressing the Haqqani Network, domestically unpopular pressure from the U.S., and mass internal displacement as reasons the offensive was repeatedly delayed.[3]

Icarus is right. Its just a co-incidence that both regular infantry and SSG troops are operating in the area and thus conducting clearance operations together. You can clearly see the SSG wing on his chest under his webbing. The camouflage he is wearing is only worn by the SSG as per regulations and per the same, you cannot put on formation badges during operations.

If you look closely on top, you will see another bomb is on its way

Not really. First it would be next to impossible to catch a JDAM GPU at it's speed. Second two guided munitions that close? Overkill. Most probably something that blew up.
