Back to EpisodesPakistan-Afghanistan Border Clashes: Military Power Imbalance
Description
Tensions escalate between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with Pakistan holding a significant military advantage. Pakistans army of 560,000 personnel, equipped with advanced Chinese gear and a fleet of over 660 armored vehicles and 465 combat aircraft, dwarfs Afghanistans 172,000 Taliban fighters. Afghanistans military is further weakened by the lack of international support and limited air power. The nuclear imbalance is also stark, with Pakistan possessing around 170 warheads compared to Afghanistans none. As cross-border clashes continue, both sides prepare for a prolonged conflict.
