America is planning to make a safe exit from Afghanistan,
while heavy machinery and vehicles are creating problems as it is very
difficult for Americans to carry with them, these vehicles will cost more than their
face value, so Obama Administration left with only option to hand it over to
safe hands. Pakistan is a front line ally of America and NATO Forces in War
against Terror. Pakistan High Authorities demanded to purchase these vehicles
to use against terrorist activities, but our neighbor country was not in any
mood, they started creating roars against this option.
Currently Pakistan Army is fighting against Taliban and
Al-Qaeda, Pakistani Troops ask Pentagon to provide MRAPs (Mine Resistance Ambush
Protected) vehicle to minimize the casualties in war against terror, US authorities
handed over 20 vehicles to Pakistan.
These MRAPs have been proven successful in preventing
terrorist attacks on Pakistani Troops operating Operation Zarb-i-Azb.
USA and NATO Forces also use these MRAPs in Afghanistan, a
defence official said that “these vehicles have proven very effective in
preventing ambushes using improvised explosive devices or IEDs.”
Obama administration has informed Congress on
Friday that it planned to sell 160 Ambush Proof vehicles to Pakistan, the total
cost of deal is estimated at $198 million.
