Let us not curse the entire institution and play into the hands of our enemy. The army is thoroughly professional. Its the higher ups in army and government screwing over.
Its not the people of the area. They are true Pakistanis. These terrorists are foreign funded assholes, rejected by the Baloch.

Twelve security personnel were martyred in two separate attacks in Balochistan's Gwadar district and the North Waziristan tribal district, it emerged on Thursday.
In the first incident, at least six security personnel were martyred in a militant attack on a convoy of state-run Oil & Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) on the Makran Coastal Highway in Ormara, Balochistan on Thursday, state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported.
The security personnel lost their lives when terrorists opened fire on them on the highway in Gwadar.
Security forces cordoned off the area and started a search operation, the report said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Prime Minister Imran Khan in a statement condemned the attack on the OGDCL convoy and sought a report into the incident, according to another Radio Pakistan report.
The premier expressed grief with the families of the martyred personnel of security agencies.
Balochistan is key to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, part of Beijing's regional Belt and Road infrastructure initiative.
The corridor seeks to connect China's western province of Xinjiang with Gwadar, giving Beijing access to the Arabian Sea.
Last year in April, at least 14 people, including 11 personnel of Navy, Air Force and Coast Guards, were killed by gunmen after they were picked out with the help of their computerised national identity cards (CNICs) and offloaded from seven buses in the Buzi Pass area near Ormara.
The incident had taken place on the Makran Coastal Highway linking Karachi with the port city of Gwadar. The buses were going to Gwadar from Karachi.
An alliance of three banned militant organisations — the Balochistan Liberation Front, Balochistan Republican Army and Baloch Republican Guard — had claimed responsibility for the killings.

In the second incident, six Pakistan Army personnel were martyred in a "terrorist" bomb attack near Razmak area of North Waziristan, the military's media wing said on Thursday.
It said a convoy of security forces was attacked through an improvised explosive device (IED), resulting in the martyrdom of one officer and five soldiers.
The martyred personnel were identified by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) as Capt Umar Farooq, aged 24 years; Naib Subedar Riaz Ahmed, aged 37 years; Naib Subedar Shakeel Azad, aged 44; Havaldar Younas Khan, 36; Naik Muhammad Nadeem, 37; and Lance Naik Asmat Ullah, aged 30 years.
'Encounters' between security forces and militants have frequently been taking place in North Waziristan. Security forces have killed several suspected hardcore terrorists in recent clashes.

The latest incident comes four days after two soldiers were martyred and three others sustained injuries in an attack on a security post in Shawal valley of North Waziristan.
Officials said militants attacked the post in the Manra Mendara area adjacent to South Waziristan district. They said militants fired rockets in the pre-dawn attack on the post which left two soldiers martyred and three others wounded.
Last month, security forces had killed four terrorists, including militant commander Ihsanullah alias Ihsan Sanray, in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in what was termed as a "major breakthrough" by the ISPR.
The operation was carried out in Ghariom, Shaktu, near the inter-district boundary of North and South Waziristan.
That IBO had come days after wanted terrorist Waseem Zakeria was killed during an intelligence operation in North Waziristan along with four accomplices.
Ten notorious terrorists were also arrested during the operation near Mirali, the ISPR had said at the time. It said Zakeria was the mastermind of 30 attacks, including the targeted killing of government officials and security forces personnel.
Zakeria was also believed to be involved in the assassination of Zubaidullah Khan, a CSP officer of the Federal Information Group, posted as director of the Pakistan Housing Authority in Islamabad.
The killing of the senior civil officer in Mirali had raised concerns about the state of security in once-volatile North Waziristan which has seen an uptick in attacks on security forces since the Zarb-i-Azb operation in June 2014.
A lawmaker from the tribal district had told the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly in September that 200 people had lost their lives to targeted killings since February 2018. There was, however, no official corroboration or denial of the claim by the lawmaker.

BLA released the footage of attacks on FC and Pakistan Army last week. 99% of onfoot patrol soldiers and tincan pickups getting hit and taking casualities. In a rare 1 % case, MAX PRO MRAP in panjgur was ambushed which successfully escaped the attack with 0 % losses.

what does pakistan, you think india wills top without you doing anything??
why would they stop?
balochistan is VERY vast and insurgency in such large area is easy
india has far more insurgencies unaided.
thesed rones are line of sight drones, you need long endurance sateliite base drones..
but as said before, drones, MRAPs are more needed than VT4 or anything else..you are going to loose not only men but alot in economic damages if you cant squash a insurgency

Is this suppose to make us feel better? We want to see the blood of Indians spilled, their soldiers gutted like pigs with their bodies mutilated on the street
