The strategic feat would be to reduce the number of fronts at the war while concentrating the effort of war on a single difficult front..which carries the advantage of terrain knowledge over the enemy!

1. Kiyani made that clear who is real enemy, by conducting biggest exercises after 1989... in onset of indian aggression all forces would be called promptly, swtiching off all ops (whjich were carried out on US req)
2.Pakistan always blamed of "strategic depth". So this war fave us a possible scenario to retreat and attack...
3. May be TTP could be convinced to participate against India (i think Hakim ullah massod said that once)

 

[JonAsad]

Isn't that due to failures of policy rather than an achievement?

Failures lead to achievements- where should one focus more?-

If we look at amrika every achievement it has made after the pearl harbor attack is a failure?- thats a stupid way to look at things tbh-

And this particular brain orgasm needed a dedicated thread, why? To discuss what exactly? As you like to discuss and comment for the sake of comments, and you particularly like A,B,C sort of mind-numbing replies (yours), here, I'll make them fun for you:

A. Division of personnel and equipment (No one will tell you because no one should tell you)
B. Reasoning behind opening a second defensive front (Even the most brain dead person, AKA Nawaz Sharif knows why, however, his plans to convince the high-ups of Armed Forces to install Metro buses in cantonments of Eastern and Western front have fallen on deaf ears)
C. If it all costs more or less if whole of the Army was stationed on one front (don't know why, however, you'll get your jollies from this one the most)
D. And finally, let's not neglect this one: Are the Pashtuns of Afghanistan more evil than the evil Yindus? Oh this one will be amazing from your enlightened PoV.....

After all this, you'll huff and puff, press enter a gazillion times, add full stops, commas etc etc.... while making sure nothing makes sense to ANYONE else......

Free fund advice: Get some medical help - you're at minimum dyslexic and at maximum sky is the limit.

So you can respond to it and then I can respond to you....duhhhh hahaha

@somebozo
I know you are commenting regarding to thread, which is right as dividing the guns is undesirable
but i was commenting according to pakistan situation......

 

[That Guy]

That's not a good thing. This just means that PA's focus is now split, stretching it's forces.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Now, not only Pakistan Army is well versed in conventional warfare but also in counter insurgency operations. Something which only few military's in the world can boast of.

Sure, we made mistakes and got hurt here and there, but we came out stronger and we're still here, AND that's life. No one had/has it easy.

For the longest time, our army was focused only on its Eastern border. Even before 1971, defense of E.Pakistan was supposed to be carried by pressuring Indian army from W. Pakistan. That policy failed off course.

Then since 1971, Pakistan army remained piled up on its border with India.

However for the last 5+ years, Pakistan army now has fully expanded on Afghanistan border.

At this stage we can confidently say that our army is now truly a multifront entity no longer tied to our Eastern border.

Don't take me wrong, Eastern border will remain a huge focus, but no longer the only focus.

Dont think we need a new thread for that. Your statement however can be taken as having lesser security than before.As in more threats to its existence than it was before.

We had to go in there and tame the Tribal territories. If not now then in the future. It was unavoidable.

The threat always existed. We only confronted it now out of necessity. It was bound to happen.

the tribals cost us a victorious war in Kashmir when they forgot about fighting and started engaging in loot and plunder...Tribalism today is a subhuman culture and it cannot be inducted to any benefit. We have to get rid of it and make conventional fighting forces stronger.

Correct. When mil men dabble in politics they lose their prime focus.

 

[Khaliquk]

That's not true, the truth of matter is when our politicians work with our enemies for their own personal and family benefits then the army is being used for the last ditched efforts to repair the damage.

 

[fatman17]

All right

The story of Pakistan in a nutshell.

I respectfully disagree.

Use of regular troops (instead of relying on lashkars and proxies) has improved the security profile.

Our approach against 1/10 the size Afghanistan was utterly wrong.

But now we are on the right path..

Same approach will be used on Iran border and the results will be awesome too.

Pakistan Troops Cross Border to Rescue Wounded Afghan Soldier

June 16, 2015 9:01 AM

Ayaz Gul

In a demonstration of increased security cooperation, Pakistan's military says its troops crossed the border Tuesday and went 600 meters inside Afghanistan to rescue an Afghan soldier who was critically wounded in a firefight with “terrorists”.

The Pakistan military’s media wing says “Afghan authorities requested for evacuation and treatment of [a] soldier, Pakistani troops quickly responding to [the] Afghan request evacuated injured soldier to a hospital” on the Pakistani side of the border. "

The cross-border action took place in eastern Afghanistan opposite to the Pakistan tribal territory of Bajur and the Afghan solider is under treatment in hospital in Khar, the region’s administrative center, the statement says.

Afghan authorities have not yet commented on the incident.

Taliban insurgents have recently increased attacks on Afghan security forces.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have increased border security cooperation in recent months while political relations have expanded. The two countries share 2400-kilometer mostly porous border.
