Re: Soldiers speak up!
The type of weapons recovered from Lal masjid included RPG and Chinese variant RPG-7 rockets, Anti-tank and anti-personnel landmines, RPD, RPK and RPK-74 light machine guns, Dragunov sniper rifles, SKS rifles, AK-47s, pistols, and night vision equipment.
Many newspaper articles over thepast year have pointed out that in contrast, the Frontier Corps, who were until recently the troops carrying out the bulk of anti militant operations, were underarmed, including many with WW2-era bolt-action .303 calibre rifles.
Compared to the Frontier Corps, it is fair to say that the Taliban were equally or better armed.
However, that logic does not apply to the regular army soldiers who are being used now.
