Afganistan - Pakistan Conflict
- Thread starter Defc0n
- Start date
Looking at the way things are turning out at the border, the PA was not prepared to handle the consequences when it targeted Afghan cities. ISPR handles may croak as much as they want about restraint, the ground reality remains that PA has been overrun by the Taliban as their Army has overestimated their abilities (as does the PAF).Just Imagine

Maybe that's the exact reason why PA is finding it hard at durand line. It can't divert resources away from their eastern front right now.
But then the question begets, why did they overreach and open western front.
I know they don't work on rationale or good decisions... But let's for a moment assume that there's a reason behind their actions. Is there any reports on non state actors' inter-dynamics evolving on borders
They want Americans there and in return they want dollars, intelligence and military equipment. Without US support Pakistan can't do anything in Afghanistan.
The Indians are a lenient lot. The videos coming from Af-Pak border that are being shared by Taliban are hair raising. This is a pretty toned down version.
I am not aware of such reports. You could check decent OSINT channels and see if there are any such instances.
I can 100% see US orchestrating things here. Pakistan sacrificing soldiers for dollars.
tf is going on? how tf is the PA losing lmao? this is the taliban? i mean i know that the US had left a shit ton of ammunition and other stuff back in afghanistan but for the PAF to actually conduct large scale strikes the situation must be dire.
Plot for novel: Maybe they left more than just ammunition and other stuff back at bagram base
. Taliban haven't realised it yet, but surprise surprise.. chinese have sensed something.. it's a race against time. With pakistan promising to be on frontline and give that "Something" to both US & China. Both believes pak is fooling the other side. While pak has its own nefarious agenda in mind. It wants to doublecross the doublecross and have promised Saudi nuclear protection in return for finance and diplomatic protection from fallout.
Meanwhile, Doval gets suspicious and RA&W has been asked to intensify it's intelligence gathering. India finds out and senses the upcoming race, yet it faces two superpower and an enemy it can't let get that thing. So India plays it's hand. Unexpectedly, Taliban Afghan is asked to meet and some vague yet enuf info is shared. Taliban gets angry on pak for their harkatein and agenda. It opens a front to punish pak for its outrageous play.
The battlefield becomes murky. Non state actors' emerge from hideholes. Israel, just frsh out of gaza conflict turns it's eyes towards east. MOSSAD directs Irani assets towards Afghanistan. Europe senses it too. {Meloni inform modi , he thanks her but doesn't divulge that he already knows and have played a move
, mandatory Indian masala} US, China finds it harder but increase their stakes, highlighting the importance of that "thing". World waits.. while 'someone' or 'something' preys.
Thank you reading
. Admin please shift it to whatever thread if it violates a policy. Apologies in advancePak pounding Taliban to what end? TTP has been around for years. Why mess up the so called strategic depth and send Taliban into India's lap?
Is it because Washington sent an order to soften up the Taliban? US wants Bagram back. And as always Pak Army getting plastered on the ground from a militia. Operational limitations perhaps? But a trained force led by trained officers losing border outposts to a militia (however tough) doesnt reflect well. The air force bombing Afghans will only make the Afghans angrier. Pakistani strategy is bold and risky - like betting your future on a pair of fives. Success will not mean windfalls, it will mean survival. Failure - it will be a royal stinker - worse than the Yugoslavia implosion.
If I was to hazard a guess, Pak better up the security on all airbases. Talibs have plenty of reasons for Mehran 2.0. Say what you like - there is never a dull moment in Pakistan.
Even US's motives are not clear - Bagram is a big base yes. Its close to China yes. But the northern part of China has little in terms of infrastructure, industry or military targets of value. US bases in Japan, Korea will have better reach to targets of value. So what's the play here? Is it the hidden mineral wealth of Afghanistan. That would be real bad news for Pak. A stable Aghanistan where US has access greatly reduces the US's need for Pakistan.
So why are they enabling their own demise? Golden Parachutes? Deals already made. Ok I should stop rambling now.

Good plot. The US and China operating bases/ports in close proximity to each other is not unheard of though. Djibouti is an example of this. Pak has played peacemaker between the two in the 1970s and got weapons from both.Plot for novel: Maybe they left more than just ammunition and other stuff back at bagram base

This time the probably want China-US to bury the hatchet over rare earths processing and semicon tech respectively. Esp the former as Chinese processing tech will be crucial for exploiting Pak's large RE reserves believed to be worth trillions of $.
Well well, Turks and Azeris sitting 1000s of KM away made similar statements but their statements arent worth the electricity consumed in listening to them.
This on the other hand spices things up quite a bit
Obvio. I am only stating this in reference to the statement released by MEA vis a vis afg-pak clash. That it was reciprocal after afg statement.
And afghan FM probably discussed it all with Jaishankar and Doval sir.
A good article detailing certain strike aspects of the recent Af-Pak conflict. SAT images presented show damage along with locations. Round 2 strikes led to the escalations post the initial CF.

High-resolution satellite images obtained by US geospatial firm Vantor shows a row of three large tin sheds completely destroyed in the Afghan district of Spin Boldak that borders Chaman district of Pakistan’s Balochistan. Pakistan has claimed this facility, Asmat Ullah Karar Camp, housed terrorists.
Spin Boldak saw some of the heaviest fighting during the clashes. The Afghan Taliban regime says at least 21 civilians were killed and over 100 injured in this district alone.
Information verified by India Today’s Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) team suggests that strikes and clashes took place at nearly 20 locations along the 2600-km land border from October 9 up to a ceasefire was announced on October 15.
Intense fighting was reported in the border region of Afghanistan’s Khost, Nangarhar, Paktika, and Kandahar provinces. Pakistan carried out at least three airstrikes in Kabul before a truce was brokered by Qatar.
The Pakistan Air Force initiated unprovoked airstrikes on the heart of Kabul city on October 9, a day after Amir Khan Muttaqi landed in New Delhi. A fuming Taliban retaliated by destroying Pakistani posts along the Durand Line, killing dozens of soldiers and injuring many more.
Both sides have suffered heavy losses. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said that a “large number of Pakistani aggressor soldiers were killed, their posts and bases were captured, their weapons and tanks seized, and most of their military installations destroyed” during their counter-offensive in Spin Boldak.
