what unintended adavantages?
Psychological.
After 1962 Sino-India War, India was receiving military aid as well as equipment from both USSR and America. Pakistan knew that all this would be used against Pakistan, and not against China; because India had no intention of engaging with China after the humiliating defeat of 1962. In fact, that was the prime reason, for Pakistan, to go for Operation Gibraltar.
1965 War, for the first time, gave Pakistan the confidence, against India, that it can defend its territory, against any Indian onslaught. It has never been tested before, in a big way.
