Just see the matrix how accurately the adversary is analysing every move and upgrading tactically to beat any deploymen
I see the matrix of how army is struggling to keep up.
US also faced similar tactics in both Afghanistan and Vietnam war.
Yet in the 20 years Afghanistan war.
approximately 2,456 U.S. military deaths and over 20,700 wounded.
analysis notes approximately 84,191 "rebels, including Taliban fighters" killed.
In Vietnam war US deaths were around 40k.
For veietnames casualties
as many as 2,000,000 civilians on both sides and some 1,100,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters Died.
1million+ Vietnamese soldier deaths.
Then the same people will blame it on leadership that there was no intel, and when intel is also there these people will blame it on ROEs, etc etc etc.
An all those blames are fully valid.
The performance of army in kashmir lackluster at best.
Roughly same amount of soldiers killed as terrorists killed in recent years.
Even in battle of falujjah, where US forces had to literally clear a whole city in urban guerrilla warfare.
United States military casualties
Deaths: 106 (including 82 from coalition forces)
Wounded: 560-600 (including 560 from coalition forces)
Insurgent deaths: Approximately 1,200–1,600
Insurgent captured: Approximately 1,500
US casualty no. Is less than half the casualties on enemy guerilla fighters
