Well, problem is that everyone in this thread thinks they got some golden ideas to stop militancy which even military doesn't know.
Half of the people are betting on drones. Fact of matter is till date hundreds of thousands of terror attacks have happened all over the world. How many attacks are foiled or detected by drones ?. ZERO.
If a HQ is near populated area, near road, there is no way on earth a drone can detect between explosive laden car from a normal civilian car. Drones do not have x-rays, these cannot check which of the guys are terrorists, or which ones are only decoys sent to grab "drone's" focus while real party of terrorists carry out the attack on another location in same city.
Even if I agree for a moment that ok drones are the solution. then no body here seems to understand the scale we are talking about. To properly look down an area which is connected with populated areas a drone camera has to be focused down to few 100 meters. Otherwise, it will not be able to detect anything. You have to focus down to objects closely to see or monitor the behavior. That means even for a small village you needs 1000s of drones. Perhaps unlimited number for long Baluchistan border, and all routes within the province, villages etc. See below google map photos, one is of Nushki & other is of Dera Bugti. So I have zoomed at a level where only 10% of the city is visible and even then at this zoom you can't see anything, you will never foil an attack from this zoom level.. Drone operator will have to zoom down at particular location or object (that means all other area will be ignored) terrorists can bring multiple decoys to fool the drone.
So instead of drones.. Why don't you guys suggest heavy fortification of the posts & HQs. Sensors right their on ground. Better assault rifles, sniper rifles, armoured protection and more.
See, I am not against drones but people suggesting that drone as utlimate solution are simply wrong.
Yes drones can be helpful if HQ is located at center of the desert. But on a populated centers no use at all.
Now we all know, india invested at Chahbhar port. They brought route from Afghanistan to Iran and through Iranian port as alternative to CPEC. Now since they were packed up in Afghanistan, the iranians / indians do not want CPEC to flourish as well. The indian agents through iranian border (likes of Kulbushan) are active. Only possiblity to nab it with full cooperation of Iran.. But, We are in center of AFG, Iran & India.. Each country do not want us to progress. We simply cannot fight each one of them at a time. I say Pak / China as to give monetary incentive to Iran, so it aligns its success with ours. This is against our emotions but practical way forward. Just tell Iranian regime, look if CPEC becomes a success, we will have a road connectivity with Chahbahar and will use that port as well for x amount of the trade. Otherwise, those greedy MFs won't stop shaking their tail to indian masters.
