The ‘Brahmastra’ of Taliban, which Pakistan has no match for
Afghanistan is currently under Taliban control. Taliban fighters have such a ‘weapon’ which even Pakistan itself cannot match. Actually, Taliban fighters are experts in guerrilla warfare. This is a kind of war in which small groups of fighters first attack suddenly against a big army and then hide. This strategy is adopted in those situations when the enemy is more powerful in numbers and weapons.

The main objective of guerrilla warfare is to break the morale of the enemy by tiring, scaring and weakening them. Due to this, the opposing army loses half the war anyway.

Guerrilla warfare is often more effective in areas where there are places to hide. Like forests, mountains or densely populated cities are suitable for this.
