Battle of Longewala- This day...41 years ago!

[arp2041]

I dont think that figures are unrealistic. A well trenched platoon can hold/delay a large size army.What major kuldeep singh's 120 men did was to hold on larger pakistani force till next daylight. Same thing like kasab and hi men did -they held whole of mumbai police force,navy MARCOS,NSG,ARMY etc for whole 3 days by being well entrenched in hotel taj and at chabbad house.

Aunty

comparing the brave soldiers who were fighting like tigers to the PA (they were seeing eye to eye) to that of Kasab & others who were fighting Gorilla war???

again a big LOL to ur post.

Weired thinking, I must say. The former involved soldiers courage and latter cowards taking civilians as human shields. Your above comparison in a way justifies Taliban attack in your cities, at your NAVAL airbase, AF base and Army HQs. Should I compare the talibanis killed at Army HQ to the pakistani soldiers killed in Salala attack? No, I wouldnt do that because both are beyond comparison.

Lol.............even G.Parthsarthy and mahroof raza termed 26/11 attack in military terms as brilliantly planned and executed commando type raid whe they said 26/11 was not a normal terror attack it was more like commando raid.

As for comparing both longewala and 26/11 the reason being to show how difficult is to clear a well entrenched enemy even when numbers are in your favour.If not 26/11 you can also take example of kargil war.even though numbers were in india's favour it took IA/IAF nearly 3 months to clear those peaks.

Longewala wasn't a commando style operation. Was it?

the kargil comparison is more apt.

Salala and attack on GHQ cant be considered as successful raid. But both Mehran raid and attack on Kamra airbase was something like brilliantly planned and execute commando type raid in military terms.

On both counts u r wrong:

1. Agreed that 26/11 can be termed as masterstroke in military terms, but ultimately it was a Gorilla warfare tactic, same tactic which even the world superpower is finding hard to beat in Afghanistan, besides in 26/11 it was more about saving human lives than killing terrorists.

2. In Kargil the regulars (or irregulars whatever u may like to call) were holding high ground (which is the best position strategically) from where even a stone dropped can make huge damage to any human while IA was countering them from ground i.e. they were easily visible to the enemy & the enemy didn't had to be "Arjuns" to kill a IA soldier, besides IAF was also unable to utilize it's firepower completely as there mandate was not to go beyond LOC when the peaks occupied were on LOC itself.

nope it wasnt and i never said that.all i 've been saying is that how difficult is to clear a small size well entrenched enemy even when numbers are in your favour.Thats where mumbai attack came into pic where marcos and nsg had to clear room by room on every floor both in taj and oberoi hotels .

the kargil comparison is more apt.

i gave kargil example just coz indians seems too sensitive about 26/11.
