Incorrect comparison ... Israelies were getting continuous weapon supply and had the best technology ... In the air warfare they were able to Jam all the communications which was the decisive factor in air theater ... On ground most important thing is your war reserves which were always there for Israelies as compared to Pakistan which was banned by US ...

That is certainly true. 1965 is classic example of how not to run a war. Terrible strategic planning. Around this time Israeli's armed with the same Pattons, Shermans. M113 APC's, Sabres wrecked all the combined Arab armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria etc and conquered huge swathes of land including West Bank. This was down to brilliant leadership. What we needed was guy with one eye and one patch and Kashmir would have been ours.

Moshe Dayan - Israeli general.

Valid point but nontheless poor planning was behind the failure of Operation Grand Slam. Failure to contend and work up defences on the expected Indian counter attack on Lahore sector was principle reason things going badly wrong. And yes once the intiative was lost the war turnned into a slugfest and Pakistan would lose out as it was the smaller party - though US abruptly blocking supplies did not help.

You can't change the world to your wishes. You can only bend/flex around the problems you have with resources available. Strategic planning is about that. How about -

• Having launched Operation Grand Slam in 1962 exactly when the Indian Army was slithering on fear induced diarrhoea down the Himalyas with Chinese fast after their tails.
• Having deployed/erected sufficient defence along Lahore sector in anticipation of Indian armoured attack. Please read how Russkies contended with the Kursk Salient and the German attack Operation Citadel.

The army's media wing on Wednesday announced that Lt Gen Asim Munir has been appointed the new director general (DG) of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Following reports that former DG ISI Lt Gen Naveed Mukhtar would be retiring, various sections of the media speculated that Lt Gen Munir was next in line for the post.

The Pakistan Army had in September approved the promotion of Munir and five other major generals to the rank of Lt Gen.

Lt Gen Munir's previous appointment was as DG Military Intelligence. He received a Hilal-i-Imtiaz in March 2018.
He has also served as commander of the Force Command Northern Areas.

In addition to announcing Munir's new charge as DG ISI, the Inter-Services Public Relations also announced that Lt Gen Azhar Saleh Abbasi will take over as chief of Logistics Staff at General Headquarters, Lt Gen Nadeem Zaki has been appointed commander Peshawar Corps, Lt Gen Abdul Aziz has been posted as the GHQ military secretary, Lt Gen Muhammad Adnan has been appointed vice chief of general staff, while Lt Gen Waseem Ashraf is set to take over as the IG Arms.

We know he was DG MI, but what's the inside scoop on him? I hope he is all for hardcore aggressive measures + sophisticated psyops.

I am compelled to share General Patton's three rules of war:
1.) Audacity
2.) Audacity
3.) Audacity
