gibberish .....
At the end of the day, maneklshaw and Indian analysts who wrote books documenting RAW activities admitted that RAW was destabilizing EP starting from the sixties. Covert support to insurgents in EP preceded any 'refugee crises', and the latter therefore cannot be used as justification for India's intervention.
Look carefully at post No-31 the article posted is from Gulf News which is not an Indian News Agency.
The Pakistan Army general headquarters has purchased all 22,000 copies of a sensitive book by a former Inter Services Intelligence(ISI) chief on the myth of the victory claimed by the Pakistan Army in the 1965 war against India.
Mahmood is already at the centre of a controversy for having quoted former American Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage of threatening to "bomb Pakistan back to stone age" in September 2001
The sources said that Gen Mahmood, who is considered a hawkish pan-Islamist himself
sorry boys GULF NEWS is run by an INDIAN if that also implies things that indians are implying!!! 23 days and a stalemate....PATHANKOT,HALWARA & DAWARKA....all bold aggresive moves from pakistan...indian army stopped in its tracks in CHAMB.....NOT AN INDIAN VICTORY my friends....
yeager or no yeager....saber debut was back in 48...by 65...it was an old aircraft....but having said that fine we had an advantage in quality of fighters....however we destroyed most of the airforce on the ground... now that is QUALITY of planning my friend.... and as for MIG21 back then well it was becoming operational but we never even gave it a chance to get up and flying....besides if it did it would have been a RAFALE of the time....so we did what could have been an ideal move destroy the enemy on the ground...no QUALITITVE edge there my friend!!
moving away from airforce we also bombed DWARKA....ofcourse the claims from both sides are diffrent...we claim to have made it into a HIROSHIMA & you claim that our bombs were a DUD!! because after all pakistani bombs are PAISTANI BOMBS...discounting the fact that we didn't even make them!!
in a war that lasts 23 DAYS....and india being 5 times our size comes out with a stalemate...well....is NOT AN INDIAN VICTORY!!!
well if junk makes up your quantity you are at a loss...and if that junk is in your airforce and you are at war...you can expect a perfect ball-busting.Gnats...Vampires...mystere...were all out-dated...weren't they?vs a QUANTITY....5 times our size to be correct
why are you giving absurd examples?Spitfire was developed by the brits for their own airforce with the aid of interactions with their own pilots...which gives an advantage of not teaching everything from scratch.in our case...mig-21was a different plane..entirely.We were operating western planes prior to the mig...so it's a paradigm shift.hey an untested generation 3 fighter is better than a tested generation 1 fighter right?? or look at it this way RED BARON's plane vs an untested SPITFIRE....
having said that we never gave the MIG a chance to get airborne...a bold move...a good gamble...
the reason why I am calling it a defensive move is because the PN did not venture upto Bombay which was our western naval base to launch an offensive with the leverage of having destroyed a radar station in Dwarka.The PN's attack of Dwarka was a containment ploy...andhenece defensive.The offensive would be to launch an attack on the IN ships or the naval base( I am not undermining the effectiveness of the PN in '65..just letting you know why I think of it as being defensive)defensive...well i think it is an aggressive move how can attacking the enemy be a DEFENSIVE move?? like you said it achieved its objective of restricting the enemy to its bases....another bold move....and the indian navy never THREATENED our sea throughout the war after that....its like the destruction of the BISMARCK by the british....the GERMANS never dared to come out in the open from then on....
I donot understand what you mean by the "opening of the international border by us".We did not initiate the war.As far as the years are concerned...It's more to do with being ready and prepared.The IAF had a complete change in it's policy post '65...we stopped compromising on quality.We got heavily involved with the Soviets(after realizing that the americans have already chosen to side with you)i am sorry we didn't give you enough time but you should have thought about this before opening the international border....and 3 years isn't a long time i guess 5 years was enough right (referring to 71 here).....we fought an enemy 5 times our size for 23 days and 5 years later the same enemy came back and got involved in our civil war when we had our backs to them....
you said china was bigger more powerful you were exhausted i think we can use that logic for 71 as well as civil war 2 fronts back stabbing and so much more.....
I only agree with the Dwarka incident.PAthankot did not break the back of the Indian air force..throughout the war we flew more sorties than the PAF...and the five times claim I don't buy.conclusion.....DWARKA restricts the INDIAN navy to its bases....PATHANKOT destroys the backbone of the IAF....chamb repulse a 5 times bigger enemy....do i say more....??
Actually, its from Wikipedia claiming it to be from said source. There is a difference. The link doesn't seem to be working.
The war was militarily inconclusive; each side held prisoners and some territory belonging to the other. Losses were relatively heavy--on the Pakistani side, twenty aircraft, 200 tanks, and 3,800 troops. Pakistan's army had been able to withstand Indian pressure, but a continuation of the fighting would only have led to further losses and ultimate defeat for Pakistan. Most Pakistanis, schooled in the belief of their own martial prowess, refused to accept the possibility of their country's military defeat by "Hindu India" and were, instead, quick to blame their failure to attain their military aims on what they considered to be the ineptitude of Ayub Khan and his government.
