Actually, the claims made by the Indian Army are pure trash.
Battle of Longewala: Truth must be told
And what overall effect did Longewala had on the outcome of war in the Western Sector. !!
Indian victory at longewala is extremely significant as far as outcome of war on the whole and outcome war in western sector is concerned.
Had your armored thrust succeeded in capturing longewala and adjacent areas of Ramgarh..you could have launched direct attack on Jaisalmer. Indian would have lost thousands of square kilometer Indian territory in Rajasthan sector ..It would have been significant bargaining chip for post cease fire negotiations... probably could have altered the course of history.
Infact inability of Pakistan to make any significant gains(except in Chamb) is western sector was one of the reason for complete surrender of Pakistan forces in the East. They also realized your strategy of "defense of east lies in west has failed".
