I believe Army/Air Force have full capability to take down any type of air vehicle deployed in Afghanistan theater. Before forces on western border was more in a role of counter insurgency, after the orders of chief it will fully transform them into border security force.

A member of armed services once told me that forces on western border never have the capability to take down air vehicles, which means they were not authorized to use SAM’s & GTAM’s. US/ISAF are using HH-60 or Bell 412 helicopters which can be easily taken down by Pakistan made MANPAD’s such as Anza Mk 2.

The real problem will be after the “escalation” if ISAF/US send air force fighters what will Pakistan do. Game of nerves, crossing fingers.

finally field commanders on border posts are given ground to air missiles. Now i see, how the fk .. ISAF/US send choppers again.
