The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is reportedly establishing a dedicated Air Force unit, aiming for full operational capacity by the end of 2026. This unit, to be commanded by Saleem Haqqani, will focus on quadcopter drone operations, building on previous successes. TTP has appointed new zone commanders and announced organizational changes for 2026. This development raises concerns about potential escalations in terror attacks, with the TTP having already conducted numerous drone strikes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa this year.
