The growing conflict between China's two neighbors, Pakistan and Afghanistan, has triggered military conflicts. From the late night of October 11 to the early morning of the 12th local time, the two sides exchanged fire in the border areas, and then the two sides declared a ceasefire. Unexpectedly, within 48 hours of the ceasefire, the two sides used force again. According to a report by the US media "Associated Press" on October 15, 2025, Pakistan and Afghan troops clashed in the remote Kuram area of Kashmir-Paktuhanwa Province in northwest Pakistan.

The Pakistani media accused the Afghan army of ¡°unreasonably firing¡± at a post in Pakistan without being provoked, and the Pakistani army of a counterattack. Pakistani officials reluctant to disclose the name revealed that during the counterattack, Afghan tanks and post stationed in the front were destroyed while destroying a large Pakistani rebel training facility.

Ahara, deputy police spokesman of Kuster province, Afghanistan, confirmed that there was a conflict between the two sides, but did not provide more details. At present, the attitude of Afghanistan is: "It will respond to any violation of Afghan territory".

There was no immediate comment from the Pakistani military, which clearly had no intention of escalating the situation and kept a low profile. However, Pakistan's attitude is quite clear, and Afghanistan must ensure that its territory is not used for armed attacks against Pakistan.

This exchange of fire revealed a problem: Pakistan Railway still bought fewer drones!

Modern drones have a considerable durability, as long as properly deployed, drones can guarantee surveillance of large areas. If Pakistan can establish a drone surveillance area in the border area, then targeted cross-border operations can be completely prevented, any action can be detected, thus intercepted. Afghanistan will not have a chance to launch an attack, only because its any intention of attack will be first detected, it may also be hit by drones, and Pakistan now has Wing Dragon-2, Rainbow-4 drones and so on have the capability to intercept, but in quantity is still insufficient.

In the night of October 11, 2025, Pakistan's strike operation on Afghanistan, almost a wonderful real-time training, "Dragon" fighter aircraft and "WingDragon"-2 drone combination, will be operational efficiency to the highest level, "Dragon" fighter aircraft will serve as a precision missile deployment platform, target strike, "Dragon"-2 drone use long-time advantages, continuous monitoring target area, provide real-time coordinates of the target, command and guide air "Dragon" and ground artillery strikes, if necessary, to launch additional strikes on the target.

In real war, drones showed their important role, and therefore, more drones will give Pakistan a greater advantage. At present, the drone force of Pakistan is controlled by the air force, the army and intelligence/security agencies together, generally divided into three categories, reconnaissance, combat, tactical small drones three categories, mainly from domestic, China, Turkey. The main models are: Rainbow-4 drones, belonging to the long-haul inspection unified drone, the maximum interruption time can be about 30-40 hours; Dragon-2 drones, the maximum interruption time can be up to 40 hours, can carry out a variety of tasks. There are also Turkish "flag" TB-2 drones, "Arkinch" drones, and some of the country's production model.

There are many types of drones in Pakistan, but there are not many, the Rainbow-4 drones originally delivered only four, and the number is far from reaching sufficient level. In the Indo-Pakistan conflict, the Pakistani side did not use drones on a massive scale to fight, and it is clear that the number of drones is insufficient, which may be one of the main reasons.

The total length of the Pakistan land border is about 3,323 kilometers, with plateaus, mountains and plains crisscrossing terrain; the Pakistan border is about 2,640 kilometers long, and the terrain is mainly mountains, canyons, deserts and highlands, which are inaccessible but easy to penetrate; the Pakistan border is 950 kilometers long, which cannot be taken into account by mere human defense. Pakistan's border is not only long, but also has complex terrain, which brings great inconvenience to daily surveillance, especially causing Pakistan's border forces to suffer a lot from possible attacks.

In theory, to maintain 24-hour surveillance daily, at least seven large drones will be needed at the same time on the Indian-Pakistan border; at least six large drones will be needed at the same time on the Ba¡¯a border, and rotating will require at least 3.5 times the size, that is, at least 46 large drones.

This is only a theoretical calculation, but in fact the demand is greater, especially considering the influence of terrain. After the situation is discovered, a certain number of drone support is needed, which causes the overall demand to further increase. Therefore, Pakistan needs more drones, especially those with integrated surveillance and attack capabilities.

Of course, simply strengthening border surveillance will not completely solve the problem. The fundamental solution is to completely resolve the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Even if both sides intend to resolve it peacefully, it is still quite difficult to resolve differences and resolve the conflict to resolve them. It requires both sides to work together.
