Pakistan’s Firepower vs Taliban Tactics: Who Really Holds the Edge? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Описание: As tensions simmer between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the military balance tells only part of the story. Pakistan commands over 660,000 troops, hundreds of aircraft, thousands of armoured vehicles, and more than 100 nuclear warheads. On paper, it holds overwhelming conventional superiority.

But the Taliban’s 172,000 fighters are not a conventional army. They rely on asymmetric warfare, terrain familiarity, and insurgent tactics that have outlasted both Soviet and US forces. The real question is not who has more weapons, but whether conventional strength can neutralise guerrilla resilience. In a conflict like this, escalation risks may outweigh battlefield victories.
