AT and Pakistan clash is imminent, Afghan's need war no matter the enemy, sooner or later they will start attacking Pakistani check posts, or they will help and give all logistic support to TTP to do their dirty work, considering that Afghan Taliban will change their course is unlikely, hopefully that happen but i doubt it.

what about Pakistan economy will they can hold or sustain a such war ?

Bro, Pakistan is neither an Oil Rich or Rare earth deposit holder and neither US or China will finance Pakistan for fight against Afghanistan as they have their own interests.

Pakistan or any nation no matter how poor they are can and will sustain a war for its survival, Fighting TTP will be same as fighting the India, we can not afford to lose and it will be the fight for our country, TTP is lucky that they can run inside Afghanistan where they get cover from Locals, and before they get cover from ANA/Americans, and now the cover is from Afghan Taliban, they day this cover is gone there is no terrorists organization that can stand against the will of a state, if state wants to remove a certain Terror group from its soil they will do it by any means necessary.

Taliban aim to boost anti-aircraft capacity to counter 'Pakistan threat'​

Neighbouring countries should not let our patience be exhausted, says Qari Fasihuddin Fitrat

KABUL: Defence has received the largest share of funds in Afghanistan's budget as the Taliban government aims to boost forces by a third and build anti-aircraft missile capacity, the army chief told Reuters in a rare interview to foreign media.

The defence ambitions of the Taliban, which took over in 2021, come in the face of strong international criticism of its policies, such as restrictions on work and education for women, that have hampered steps towards diplomatic recognition.

In his remarks on Tuesday, Qari Fasihuddin Fitrat, a Taliban commander from the northern region of Badakhshan and the chief of army staff, condemned incursions by foreign drones into Afghan airspace.

Defence forces now numbering 150,000 are targeted to be increased by 50,000, he said, speaking in his office in the highly fortified defence ministry in Kabul, the capital, although he did not reveal the precise figure of the funds.

"The ministry of defence is the top-ranked in the budget," he said, adding that it received a significantly higher sum than other ministries, as it was a priority in the budget, which is largely funded by boosted tax and customs revenue.

Since their takeover, the Taliban have spent 1-1/2 years building a civilian administration and a national military out of an insurgent force that fought a 20-year war against foreign forces and the previous US-backed Afghan government.

No foreign nation has formally recognised the government, which is battling economic headwinds following sanctions on the banking sector and the cutoff of all development aid.

Fitrat said a major defence focus was securing Afghan airspace against drones and other incursions.

"Anti-aircraft missiles are the need of countries," he said, adding that all nations sought developed weapons to ensure the integrity of their territory and airspace, a problem Afghanistan also faced.

"There is no doubt that Afghanistan is trying, and doing its best, to have it."

But Fitrat declined to elaborate on where authorities were looking to procure anti-aircraft missiles from.

'Neighbouring countries should not let our patience be exhausted'

He also stopped short of naming Pakistan, against which the Taliban administration has regularly protested, accusing its neighbour of allowing drones to enter Afghanistan.

"We are doing our best to find a solution for protection of our airspace. We will work on it by using all our capability," Fitrat added.

"From where we will obtain it is confidential, but we should have it."

Pakistan's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pakistan officials have not confirmed whether its airspace is used for drone access to Afghanistan.

"We have always tried, and will try, to solve the issue using diplomatic ways, and we have done our best to be patient regarding these cases," Fitrat said, but sounded a note of caution.
"Neighbouring countries should not let our patience be exhausted."

Ties between the neighbours have occasionally been tense as Pakistan has accused the Taliban administration of allowing Afghan territory to be used as a haven for militant groups.

Among these is Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has stepped up attacks in Pakistan in recent months.
The Taliban administration denies allowing its territory to be used for attacks on others, however.
There have been border clashes between the forces of both, and analysts say that in the event of conflict escalating, Pakistan's airforce would give it a strong edge.

Fitrat said former security personnel, who form a significant share of Afghanistan's forces, were being paid and treated in the same way as Taliban fighters.

The comments follow concern voiced by international rights groups and the United Nations that some former members of Afghan security forces members were targeted or killed.

While the Taliban have declared a general amnesty for former combatants, saying they would investigate cases of wrongdoing, they have not detailed legal action regarding alleged extrajudicial targeting.

Pakistan is fine with Iran, we have no issues

Afghans have always hated and attacked Pakistan, removal of the Afghan Republic was essential to secure Pakistani strategic interests
Removing India, USA, NATO from Afghanistan was essential

Strategic depth ended the day we detonated a nuclear weapon

India however is a enemy and will remain a enemy

We are fine with Iran, what problem do we have with Iran???

Afghanistan was a masterclass in subterfuge by ISI, Afghans were always donkeys, but destroying the Afghan Republic and taking out the U.S, NATO and India was vital for our strategic interests

Yes their is fallout, but that was inevitable and will be dealt with because the Taliban requires Pakistan support in order to survive, it's why China is camped out on the LAC to keep the indians in check



Regarding India, we hate Hindus, we don't care a monkeys *** what you do, we want nothing to do with idol worshippers, we just want to free kashmiri and Indian Muslims and ensure they get freedom and independence away from Hindu dushmans
