1965 war by international & Indian observers.

[Tipu7]

It is "Operation Gibraltar" that led to the war.

Why ''BRAVE'' India didn't face Gibraltar forces face to face.................?

and instead attacked major Pakistan city at NIGHT from THREE directions with so much VALOR and DIGNITY........?

 

[ayesha.a]

The fact remains, that Pakistan FAILED in its objectives to take Kashmir for various reasons.

And India FAILED to punish Pakistan as it so thought.

It was a Victory for the Indian side because it managed to make operation Gibraltar falter.

It was a Victory for the Pakistani side because it managed to hold off a massive attack by a much superior enemy.

Correct, but don't forget one aspect - who started the war.

Whoever starts a war and doesn't achieve the objective, is the loser. If India started the war to punish Pakistan and failed to do so, India would be the loser. If Pakistan started the war to take India's territory and failed to do so, Pakistan is the loser.

Which one happened?

Err...did you announce your Gibraltar operation "face to face" ? Your Generals acted in stealth. Unless they were very stupid, they should have anticipated all responses. The same whining happened with the Kargil war with Musharraf whining about Indian "Overreaction".

In contrast, the Pak military was pretty well equipped, armed with cutting edge American weapons. (Tanks, aircrafts etc.)

Neither was India under equiped.
Centurian tanks, hunters and gnats all were comparable to Pakistani equipment and one conveniently forgets the most advanced mig 21 while talking about "much superior " Pakistani aircraft. Indian mountain divisions trained and armed by Americans.....Indian navy which posessed an aircraft carrier yet "Pakistan was very well equipped compared to India".

We haven't. We cut the 7 times smaller nation into two, if you don't remember. Maybe they skipped that part in your school, and only taught you that it was always toe-to-toe.

Bangladesh is a muslim state

It is separated from Pakistan by 1000 miles

If the highlite if your hindu military prowess is involving yourself in a civil war 1000 miles from where we could really do anything against a hostile local population

Then i repeat india is militarily pathetic

@ayesha.a

By that logic why do you celebrate republic day every year. India is not 100 yet

India should celebrate its first republic day in 2050

It's standard practice. US celebrates July 4th every year.

You can't celebrate everything every year, because then every single day would have to be a celebration. The most important things are celebrated yearly, the lesser once aren't.

The founding of India as a republic is far more important than thwarting the intentions of an unfriendly neighbour, just as a person's birthday is more important than most other events in her life. That is why birthdays are celebrated every year, other milestones aren't.

Don't you know difference between LOC and border?

Do you know when the Line of Control came into existence?

It was in 1972, after the Shimla agreement. Until then, it was just one single border.

You shouldn't discuss things you know very little about.

I am asking him ....... not from you Kitty.

I know, but I still recommend Google as a way to get basic info.

MIG 21 was initial batch ( even pilot are not trained on it fully) destroyed in ground.
Aircraft carrier was white elephant than due to under refit in dockyard.
Patton tank are more deadly on those days compared Centurion.
Our Hawker Hunter are more advance than F-86 Sabre but Gnat take the game due to its small size & agility.
But few batches of Sabres are equipped with Sidewinder & PAF trained with NATO.
Where do you get the news American trained & armed mountain division ?
Some covert training happened for short period but not much more which can effect the war significantly.

Forget whether India is militarily pathetic, just think of the intelligence of the country that fought that "civil war a 1000 miles away against a hostile local population......"

Centurion tank was a WW2 vintage and Mig-21 ? Some 6 of them landed fresh, second batch, after Indian pilots just returned from a training in Soviet Russia. 6 Type-74 were inducted in 1963. 2 were destroyed on ground and there were hardly any trained pilots to fly them. Role of Mig-21 is severely limited in 1965. They played a much greater role in 1971.

It's not like India started the war to capture Lahore, as an idiot has claimed on the thread. (I don't normally do name-calling, but since you did in your first sentence, I suppose I can as well.)

Why it happened? in 1947 Indian army was far far superior to Pak army. With four already operational Ordnance factory.
and three years are not enough to recover from border war?? How much ''damaged'' India was after 1962? Were they under sanction..........? NO .......... then why India was doing in past these three years? ''JHAAK''...........?

1947 is one thing, 1962-65 is another. The Indian army had not modernized or expanded since then. It was always bereft of funding, due to the idiocy of the govt. Nehru in initially thought that India wouldn't need a military at all, just a large police force would do. Only in 1962 did they realize the importance of a powerful military.

And no, 3 years is no time to modernize a large military. Presently India is modernizing its armed forces, and that is expected to take a decade.

Bangladesh is a muslim state

It is separated from Pakistan by 1000 miles

If the highlite if your hindu military prowess is involving yourself in a civil war 1000 miles from where we could really do anything against a hostile local population

Then i repeat india is militarily pathetic

You mean where the minority is 1000 miles away from the majority ? East Bengal was indeed the majority at that time. Why did you consider West Pakistan to be the mainland and not East Bengal ? That's the mentality which led to your loss. Clearly, you have not learnt anything from history.

Why ''BRAVE'' India didn't face Gibraltar forces face to face.................?

and instead attacked major Pakistan city at NIGHT from THREE directions with so much VALOR and DIGNITY........?

"Brave India" put the Gibraltar "commandos" in jail, where they remained for the duration of the war, eating sarkari food.

The "brave" commandos were betrayed by the locals whom they came to "liberate", and arrested by the Kashmir police. What sort of bravery do you expect us to do to them, when they are ignobly crying in prison?

 

[hussain0216]

Forget whether India is militarily pathetic, just think of the intelligence of the country that fought that "civil war a 1000 miles away against a hostile local population......"

Had no choice! !!


Think about the military prowess of hindu India when the highlite of their bravery is taking on a country 7 times smaller than it 1000 miles from home

Centurion tank was a WW2 vintage and Mig-21 ? Some 6 of them landed fresh, first batch, after Indian pilots just returned from a training in Soviet Russia. 6 Type-74 were inducted in 1963. 2 were destroyed on ground and there were hardly any trained pilots to fly them. Role of Mig-21 is severely limited in 1965. They played a much greater role in 1971.

These are excuses. Migs destroyed on ground by us is none of our concern...
Centurians were used by British and Australians, though inferior than pattons, they still packed a punch like a 47 vintage ak47 packs a punch against m4. Your navy was numerically much superior with an ac carrier.
