Seems the BLA published footage of their attack against a Pakistani FOB in Bolan #Balochistan. Interesting to note that the planning for the large attack (30+ fighters) included a sand table. Fighters armed with a variety of small arms.

This includes various AKMs (Including w/ GP-25 UGL), Type 56, M249, RPG-7 (With what appears to be Iranian PG-7-AT1), PK/M (Including Zastava M84), SVD Dragunov, Lee-Enfield etc
Rare to see BLA with HEAT projectiles- usually OG-7V/similar are used. Depends on target.

Attack looked complex and seemed to involve harassing (long range) fire, some CQB from fighters armed with AKs, RPG use, etc. Unfortunately no close footage was shown but the base was overwhelmed.
Footage then shows fighters in the base with killed FC.

Variety of kit was captured in this attack, including 7+ Pakistani G3 rifles, MG1A3 (MG3) machine guns, mortar bomb(s), and plenty of ammo/uniforms, not to mention Pakistani Grenades (No.36 Mills grenade copies) and AN/PVS-7 pattern NVGs. All of which can be used/sold by BLA.

Am not a tactics specialist but this vid is another example of the common kind of attacks that the BLA carries out, & the capture gained from it. Attackers use a variety of small arms from differing sources (Mainly Afghan) to obtain valuable weapons that be further used.
