Video posted 10 days ago. Terrorist ambushed a large convoy in Khaybar. I counted 6 trucks and 4 jeeps destroyed along with a T-59 tank, not to mention basta.rds beheaded our soldiers and was showing there bodies. the tank turret blew off. Does it mean TTP or more specific Mangal bagh group have ATGM in their arsenal ?

it is possible but do remember that there was a destroyed T-59 back in 2008/9 during the initial operations it was shown in a program by Ragi Omar (on the front lines) as the army vehicle drives by it. the tank in this picture has its turret blown up though
which can mean that the TTP planted some bombs inside the discarded tank or really destroyed a new tank with some powerful ATGM. earlier this year Saudis bought some advanced anti tank weapons for FSA so its always a chance that they made their way back since TTP is also in Iraq and Syria to fight the sectarian war.

as for the burnt out vehicles, there are many videos in the past which showed the destroyed army convey's . so again it can be old or new.
TTP excels at propaganda, they can be using old footage or real one we dont know and cant comment. only notable incident was the recent beheading of someone at the hands of TTP and that checkpost attack.

like it or not there is a war going on and who ever gets the chance , he inflicts some serious damage to the other side. war is ugly and our soldiers are giving their lives. only thing is that we cant show the footage of what we are doing to the TTP otherwise there will be a new Lawyers' intifada against our army.

watch this video at the 6th second. the tank seems similar with the turret still intact.

That is an ominous assessment from Dr Farrukh

i have talked to dozens of pak army officers
all of them confirmed that TTP used extremely modern and advance weapons
some of their weapons are even better than pak army in terms of accuracy and range
at times army recovered weapons from ttp which was used by NATO
now whether they got it directly from NATO or from some black market or in a raid is debatable but they are certainly very well equipped
i guess you haven't seen their propaganda footage where they clearly shows they just dont rely on AK 47 They always use heavy shelling while conducting a raid or gurella attack on army post

sorry mate you r really talking 'trash' now...

 

[fatman17]

point to be noted is that the army in NWA is not on excercise, we are at war with a decietful enemy. losses of men and material will take place....this happens with every army in battle....so let us not 'overblow' the incident and not look at it in 'isolation'....we are winning and will Triumph over these animals.

sorry mate you r really talking 'trash' now...

Dude konsi duniya may reh rahe ho?.....they do not have anti-aircraft guns, thats the basic thing you need against a professional army with air support. AK-47 is an out-dated weapon, RPG is their best weapon....IED stands for "improvised explosive devices"

They do not have tanks, armored vehicles, jets, artillery and what not, most of them fight with you in simple shalwar kameez with no bullet proof jackets, big portion of them are teenagers.........they do not have medical facilities like pak army, their injured ones simply die...

Lame Excuses banany ki zarorat nahi, lets be factual, it is an asymmetric warfare warfare, ragtag TTP aur Pak army may zameen aur asmaan ka farq hey.

20 more miscreants killed today.

Look at all that modern, sophisticated trash.

Here's their sophisticated anti-armour and light artillery unit.

"Modern arms used by NATO"

 

[Winchester]

Any news on the soldiers who went missing in the North Waziristan attack???
What are the chances of us getting them back in a military op or should we negotiate for their release???

That's far from reality. Not every seized cache looks like this.
They are very well equipped mostly. Particularly when they are planning an ambush.

@Irfan Baloch @Horus

ISPR is the only outlet for such updates and army doesnt do a running commentary on every event
the fighting is still ongoing I doubt if any negotiation will be possible with them when we are conducting operations against them

I wish we can free them or recover their bodies sooner rather than later. terrorists will keep up with the past practices of beheading and desecrating the bodies so the bombs will drop on them no matter how much the taliban apologists complain

You wish.

They are not well equipped, but we are ill prepared.
