Hybrid warfare describes the deliberate integration of conventional military force with irregular, cyber, informational, economic, and psychological instruments to achieve strategic objectives while remaining below the threshold that triggers a conventional military response. It is the dominant mode of conflict between major powers in the current era — employed by Russia across Eastern Europe, by Iran across the Middle East and beyond, by China in the South China Sea and the information domain, and by a range of state and non-state actors who have learned that the most effective attacks on adversaries often leave no bomb craters.
CommandEleven’s hybrid warfare analysis examines the full spectrum of grey-zone operations — from IRGC proxy network architecture and TTP narrative warfare against Pakistan, to Chinese influence operations, to the cyber-kinetic model reshaping conflict along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Our analysts assess both the tactics and the strategic logic of hybrid campaigns, identifying the indicators and decision points that precede escalation to kinetic conflict.

So, we have an account of a foreign ‘contractor,’ unfortunately we have silence on our side. Who this silence serves, I don’t know, but it appears that the military is getting part of the blame.
While there have been constant attempts by New Delhi and Kabul to undermine these successes by continuing to wage terrorism in Pakistan from Afghan soil while employing their assets in media for systematic disinformation, anyone who wants to witness these successes with their own eyes can visit Pakistan and do so.
We have a phrase at CommandEleven – be a victim or a volunteer. A victim is someone who fights to the end. A volunteer submits.

Some people are of the opinion that India and Pakistan could have better relations, and that it is Pakistan who causes acrimony, with the Establishment specifically to blame. They qualify their argument by accusing the Establishment of creating an artificial situation so as to justify a huge defense budget, pay and allowances and perks.
Saudi Arabia used US President Donald J. Trump’s visit to the kingdom to drive its anti-Shia and anti-Iran agenda. Mr. Trump and Muslim leaders turned a blind eye to Saudi Arabia’s role barely two weeks before Mr. Trump’s arrival in blocking his administration’s proposal to impose United Nations sanctions on the Saudi branch of the Islamic State (IS).
