Скачать или смотреть Balochistan in Crisis: Pakistan Army’s Fight Against BLA Militancy

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA)'s insurgency significantly influences Pakistan's military strategies by forcing the military to adapt to a highly sophisticated, evolving, and persistent guerrilla warfare challenge. The BLA combines mountainous and urban guerrilla warfare tactics, frequently using suicide bombers, including women, conducting intelligence-based operations, and carrying out high-profile attacks like the 2025 Jaffar Express train hijacking which targeted military personnel and civilians. This has led the Pakistani military to escalate its counterinsurgency efforts with increased funding for operations, targeted offensives on militant hideouts, and emphasis on intelligence and rapid response teams to counter the group's advanced capabilities.

Pakistan's military now faces a "game-changing" threat due to the BLA's enhanced operational capacity, including the use of advanced surveillance technology and sophisticated weaponry. The insurgency’s frequent attacks on military checkpoints, convoys, and Chinese projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) have compelled the military to beef up security around critical infrastructure and adopt a multi-pronged approach combining direct military operations with intelligence and political surveillance.

However, there is criticism that Pakistan's military strategies remain heavily focused on security crackdowns and brute force without adequately addressing underlying political grievances of the Baloch people, which risks perpetuating the insurgency. The military has also accused foreign actors like India and Afghanistan of enabling the insurgents, adding a regional dimension to their security strategy.
