technically 6.6 times, but hey, who's counting.
One thing that I really admire about both Pakistan and Indian Armies is the shear professionalism of your soldiers. Even the way they march, the way they salute, it reminds me of the British style.

PAF pilots have also faced off and shot down a number of Israeli aircraft during Israeli Arab wars. The air defenses of Damascus during the 73 war were laid out of Pakistani fighter ace MM Alam.

well for us it was critical situation ( Afghan War ) , but yes i do agree that we confront USSR , with much aggression ..
PAF has a lot of success stories in all three wars , 65 , 71 and Afghan war .....
and now things are completely change , in modern warfare numbers dont matter much , all you need a good strategy , and good weapons and technology to give a huge blow to your enemy ..
You're right @That Guy , thanks for the correction.
Sir, i need to really brush up on my Middle Eastern and South Asian history now, im so embarrassed that i never even knew about this. Thanks for the link !
Aha! Now, presently, no army would dare invade the country because Pakistan is a nuclear power. Who wants to be glassed , right? lol

Though off topic .... But since you mentioned
British Parliament pays glowing tributes to Sikhs and Indian Army for WWI role - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site
Excellent !
Here's another one:
10th Baluch Regiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
7th Rajput Regiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
15th Punjab Regiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
44th Airborne Division (India) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bit offtopic:
During the Malayan Campaign, the Indian III Corp fought the 25th Imperial Army, the shear tenacity of the III Corp was seen during the Battle of Singapore where a regiment of the III Indian Corp fought against the crack unit -- the Imperial Guards' Division , considered the best in the Imperial Army.
When the British Army gave the signal to surrender, the III Corp did not follow, instead, fought to the bitter end. For almost a whole day the III Corp kept back the Imperial Guards Division from taking the city, and ended in hand to hand combat. Many of the III Corp were Baluchs, some were Punjabi, and some were Rajputs.
The Imperial Guard Division suffered great casualties. It was so severe that Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, lamented upon seeing the dead soldiers (Indian and Japanese) and said, "With soldiers like these, one can conquer the world."
He was making reference to the British policy of using Indian soldiers throughout the British Empire and beyond.

I would like to add ....one of the fiercest warriers of world.... From the Gallipoli campaign in WW2 to Afghanistan (Royal Gurkhas)
Gorkha regiments (India) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unfortunately My ancestors fought Japanese...in Burma campaign.... and Everyone knows How bravely Japanese fought.... Specially in the last phase of WW2...
outnumbered and outgunned with very limited Ration and Ammunition nobody can forget the Battle of IWO Jima....
I heard some Japanese never surrendered till 1970s ....and hidden in Philippines...

3rd Corps apart from Rajput rest were Pak units (Baluch and Punjab)... Meanwhile 44th was a mixed one.
Meanwhile we prefered to die rather than fight agains the Turks .. Rebellion of Singapore , Defections at Gallipoli to the Turkish side... Or against the Indonesians (where Pak soldiers defected to the Indonesian side and fought against the imperialists).. Out of those almost 1000 soldier only a handful came home and were awarded by the Indonesian premier!
P.S: Majority of the British indian army came from what is now Pak.

South Asian soldiers gave Japanese Army our worst military defeat in the Battle of Imphal. It was, by far, our greatest and absolute military catastrophe. Over 53,000 crack soldiers of the Imperial Army were annihilated by the British-Indian 14th Area Army.
In that battle, from Japanese accounts, Sindhi , Baluchi, Pathan, Rajput, Sikh and Gurkha soldiers used their swords in hand to hand combat. It was, perhaps, the most brutal battle the Imperial Army fought, aside from Iwo Jima and Battle for Philippines.
Even the Imperial Army did not suffer such catastrophic losses in battle against the Chinese from 1937-1945. 53,000 of Japanese most battle hardened soldiers were killed.
So yes, we have a lot of respect for Indian and Pakistan soldiers....
