They're well armed but look at the flip side, if you need to send such well armed special forces to keep your own nation pacified, imagine the kind of war that is raging inside Pakistan. At least our Naxals are handled by central police and that too with small arms and basic equipment. Pakistan has to use special forces, artillery, gunships, tanks to contain the unrest.
You're correct on some aspects. It would be better worded as "imagine the kind of war that
was raging inside Pakistan". This isn't 2006 or 2008 anymore, situation has drastically changed.
You also can't compare Naxal and TTP... - TTP once numbered in the hundreds of thousands, were well trained, very well equipped with soviet rockets, RPGs, machine guns, explosives, tanks and everything.... They were stronger than the armed forces of most nations. They were a conventional force (in the beginning) so we treated them as a conventional force.
Also, the equipment isnt for 'pacification of Pakistan'. High command knows it cannot beat India numerically nor match its conventional capabilities so it must invest in quality and numerical-neutralizing factors.
Here's my entry to the thread, Pakistan armed forces pictures and videos :
That isn't the Armed Forces... just policemen. It's also quite an old video. Police here (and in India) are quite brutal due to their lack of training - recently there have been reforms; hopefully police gets whipped into the capable force it's meant to be.
