Actually, the claims made by the Indian Army are pure trash.
Battle of Longewala: Truth must be told
The movie is historically inaccurate. The army did not fight as much as they do in the movie. In reality they just fought to hold ground until IAF HAL Marut and Hawker Hunters came, mainly against an ill-prepared enemy, whose tanks were bogged down in sand, and were afraid to advance because they suspected the presence of a minefield.
But there was fighting nonetheless, and the post was surrounded completely.
And what overall effect did Longewala had on the outcome of war in the Western Sector. !!
Your commanders were talking about taking over Jaisalmer 48 hours after crossing the border.
