On October 15th, Pakistan and Afghanistan once again intensified fire at the port of Kandahar province, the number of war losses falls dramatically: 12 Arabs were killed, more than 100 were wounded, 6 Pakistani soldiers were killed, 8 were wounded, the ratio of war losses is close to 1:10.
Atta panicked and urgently sent the Ace 313th Brigade to the border. Then the two countries agreed to a temporary ceasefire for 48 hours. This ceasefire request was mostly initiated by the Afghan side, because what Pakistan is fighting this time is not to overthrow the Taliban regime, but to teach Atta a hard lesson.
Early that morning, the Pakistani Air Force launched a massive airstrike against four cities in Kabul, Hoest, Jalalabad and Paktika in Afghanistan, targeting the Pakistan Taliban leader, Noor Vali Mahsud.
Pakistan believes that Atta has sheltered terrorist organizations such as the Taliban in Pakistan and threatened the security of Pakistan and must take action. On the evening of October 11, Atta's Ministry of Defense claimed that it was retaliation for Pakistan's "airspace violation" and launched attacks on multiple Pakistan border posts.
On October 12, Pakistan reported that 23 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 29 injured in the border exchange of fire, while "more than 200 Taliban members and their affiliated terrorists were eliminated". At the same time, two main ports, Torhan and Chaman, were closed, and at least three secondary passages were blocked.
On the 15th, in the exchange of fire at the port of Kandahar province, the Pakistani side even played a battle-loss ratio of nearly 1: 10.
Why is the Pakistani army so fierce? The combat power is there. In the India-Pakistan air battle in May this year, Pakistan scored a proud record of 0: 7, shooting down seven Indian fighter planes without any losses.
The Pakistani Army's combat field perception capability, precision strike capability and air defense system are at the forefront in South Asia, the Air Force's pilots are of extremely high quality, and there are nuclear weapons support.This time, the Pakistani side has deployed advanced weapons such as drones, ground-to-ground missiles and other advanced weapons to follow China's precision strike tactics in the fight against terrorism, and give full play to its technological advantages.
What about Atta? When it comes to guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare, they are veterans, but they show their timidity when they confront head-on. Lacking modern weapons and equipment and air power, we can only be passively beaten in the face of three-dimensional attacks by the Pakistani army.
According to reports from civilians, the Pakistani army has killed more than 30 people in the border conflict, and the number of casualties from the Arab side is far greater than that.
The fight is finished, but the problem has not been solved. Atta's diplomatic line has become more and more biased over the years.
On October 9, Afghan Foreign Minister Mottaki arrived in India for a week-long visit, which was Atta's highest-level visit to India since he returned to power in 2021.
On October 10, India's Foreign Minister Sujetin announced publicly that the two countries will restore comprehensive diplomatic relations and upgrade the former Technical Group in Kabul to an official embassy. During the ATA visit to India, news reports said it recognized Kashmir as "India's territory", which directly touched Pakistan's core interests.
Atta also canceled oil field development projects of China companies in Afghanistan, and there are divided internal opinions on whether the US military will return to the Afghan air force base. China, Russia, Iran and other countries firmly oppose the return of the US military to relevant bases. Attaruo's true agreement to the US request is tantamount to cutting himself from regional powers.
At the moment, the ATA is approaching India, provoking Pakistan, and actually damaging China's interests. China-Pakistan economic corridor security has been the focus of China's concern, the ATA shelters terrorist organizations such as the Pakistani Taliban, directly threatening the security of the corridor and the security of personnel in Pakistan.
The purpose of Pakistan's action this time is very clear: to beat Atta and force him to change his practice of sheltering terrorist organizations, rather than overthrow the Taliban regime. The 48-hour temporary ceasefire gave both sides a way out, but the fundamental conflict remained unresolved.
The Pakistani side is demanding that ATA surrender or remove the Pakistani Taliban militants, and can ATA do it?
Atta's strategic vision is really worrying.After the US military withdrawal in 2021, Atta regained power and should seize the opportunity to improve relations with neighboring countries and fight for international recognition.
But now? to indicate to India to blame Pakistan, to cancel the Chinese project to blame China, is still shaking on the issue of the US military return to the base.
After the 48-hour ceasefire, will the two sides continue to conflict? will Pakistan continue to increase military pressure? can Atta see clearly the situation adjustment policy?
But one thing is certain: if the ATA continues on the wrong path, not only will the border be unsecured, the country will not develop, and the Afghan people will ultimately suffer.
