Huge difference in military strength between Pakistan and Afghanistan

A new conflict has begun between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with both sides reporting dozens of casualties.
Meanwhile, analysts said BBC Urdu that it is unlikely that the Taliban would wage a conventional war against Pakistan.
There is a huge difference in military strength between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban.
The Pakistani armed forces, which have nuclear weapons, are regularly ranked among the 15 most militarily powerful in the world.
The Afghan Taliban, on the other hand, lack comparable military resources and face economic problems.
The weapons possessed by the Taliban army come mainly from three sources: from the arsenal of the former Afghan army, from foreign forces that have withdrawn, and from new weaponry purchased from various sources, including the black market.
Experts point out that footage of previous border clashes shows that Taliban forces mainly used light weapons against Pakistani forces.
However, analysts point out that the Taliban have extensive experience in guerrilla warfare.
An Afghan security expert told BBC Urdu that many clashes between the Taliban and Pakistani forces involved guerrilla tactics such as surprise attacks and roadside bombs. /Telegraph/
