They want us to do their dirty work but won't provide equipment for COIN ops.

This may be superficial just to keep up appearances. In reality, we have already neutered ourselves in Pakistan to appease them.

Multan, 23 November 2018:
Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) visited Multan Garrison. COAS witnessed training demonstration on combat readiness by an Armour Formation of the strike corps and underlined that an Army deters war through professional competence and readiness.
COAS also interacted with officers of Multan Garrison and shared his thoughts on security situation of the country, challenges and the response. He said that after kinetic operations we are now into the phase of stability operations. War against terrorism and militancy is not over yet. Besides kinetic efforts we have to take on measures to address the root causes while staying cognisant of inimical forces and foreign hostile agendas. Within the folds of national action plan we shall support national focus on socio-economic development so that people of Pakistan reap dividends of improving security. Some elements are wittingly or unwittingly trying to pull the country back into confrontation. State shall not let them do it whether on the name of religion, ethnicity or any other pretext. COAS said that peace, stability and progress of our country is contingent upon rule of law by all.

Attempted assault on Chinese consulate in Pakistan indicates improving separatist capability to target Chinese interests
Asad Ali - IHS Jane's Intelligence Weekly
25 November 2018

Key PointsThe Karachi consulate attack on 23 November indicates growing Baloch separatist intent and capability to carry out one-off, high-profile attacks against secure Chinese assets in Pakistan.The risk of direct Baloch separatist attacks against Chinese infrastructure projects in Balochistan and neighbouring Sindh province is increasing, although successful attacks on secure assets involving a security perimeter breach and major damage are unlikely.The likelihood of suicide attacks targeting restaurants and hotels known to be frequented by Chinese nationals in urban areas of Balochistan and Sindh is growing.Event
On 23 November, three Baloch separatist fighters carrying small-arms and grenades, and wearing suicide vests, attacked the Chinese consulate in Clifton, an affluent suburb of Karachi in Pakistan's Sindh province.
The attackers reportedly approached a checkpoint outside the consulate in an explosives-rigged vehicle and opened fire on security guards, killing three and wounding three others. All of the attackers were killed in this exchange of fire, and they failed to detonate their vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), according to local media reports. More than 20 Chinese nationals were present in the consulate, and local police confirmed that no one inside the building was harmed. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group operating in neighbouring Balochistan province, claimed the attack through its contacts in international media.
Baloch separatists' increasingly ambitious targets and improving capability
The BLA's claim of responsibility represents a significant expansion of Baloch separatist insurgent targets and evolving tactics. The BLA and other separatist groups have held longstanding objections to Chinese investment in Balochistan, which predate the influx of investment as part of the USD64-billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in 2015. However, Baloch separatists have generally used crude improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to target Chinese nationals, and have exclusively targeted individuals transiting through remote areas of Balochistan.

Pakistan already tested the SH-15 in 2015-2016. There is no evidence from the picture that it is not from those original trials.
