plz elaborate in more detail ...Have u seen the terrain ahead of Okara towards Bhatinda?
AFAIK an inf bde or a mech inf bde.Fazilka cantt has an infantry brigade?
plz elaborate in more detail ...
If elements of 14th Div along with its armor manage to capture Fazilka somehow, the T-59s would have accomplished more than what is expected from them. The terrain is mostly plains and probably has man made obstacles. If II Corps decides to operate in this area, then entrance from Fazilka could be a point where it can turn south towards Abohar, north-west towards Farid Kot or towards Bhatinda. 14th Div can either let II Corps take over the bridgehead it created or defend Fazilka and other surrounding areas till the end of war. It would be up to T-80s of 1st Armd Div to further exploit the region if Command thinks so.AFAIk
I don’t the mindset comes from only size but access to technology and tactics. If you do not have access to superior technology or are unaware of the latest tactics then all you can do is deter. While a positive mindset is great, it doesn’t have any impact when not paired with good decisions. Good decisions come from a combination of knowledge and humility.We need to do away with the mindset that says smaller forces can only equalize or deter. Smaller militaries can win by using superior technologies, better tactics, and exploiting enemy's vulnerabilities. If you prepare with this mindset, you will win Insha Allah. But if your mindset is defeatist from the start, you cannot hope to achieve victory.

The C-130 ssg raid in 65 is a good example of having the technology but no good knowledge or tactics.
Where did it come from? How many agree on that poor leadership aspect? After all, next door to the west is a great example of poor leadership that was so widely rejected that its military refused to fight for it - we clearly aren’t in that scenario here.Agreed. As in all other walks of life, we need capable people to make good decisions. And if the leadership isn't taking active steps to create such an environment - well that's just extremely poor leadership.
If I'm not wrong in 71, 105 inf bde(which included Shabbir Shareef's 6FF) had made a similar bridge head in suliemanke which could've been exploited in a move towards Fazilka?14th Div can either let II Corps take over the bridgehead it created
yes and why wasn't it exploited ?If I'm not wrong in 71, 105 inf bde(which included Shabbir Shareef's 6FF) had made a similar bridge head in suliemanke which could've been exploited in a move towards Fazilka?
When replacements become available in nos. AZ will be removed from Frontline service n transfered to FC wings.That is again at grand strategic level, as I mentioned. However regardless of political and diplomatic developments military planning should be done to prevent any surprises and as a last resort.
Cost. Moreover, AFAIK only Gujranwala Corps was equipped with them.
AFAIK VT4s are being used for replacement and is currently replacing 6th armd div. Also I believe AZs will be kept very much on the frontlines, most probably in form of IABGs as they are still better than most of the indian tanks.
Hindsight is a good thing but unfortunately wars don't happen in hindsight.If I'm not wrong in 71, 105 inf bde(which included Shabbir Shareef's 6FF) had made a similar bridge head in suliemanke which could've been exploited in a move towards Fazilka?

Actually I was ASKING if that particular bridgehead could be used for an offense by II Corps towards Fazilka?Hindsight is a good thing but unfortunately wars don't happen in hindsight.
I doubt that AZs will be transferred to FC any time soon. They can still perform better than most Indian tanks plus AFAIK,since 2010 PA has been raising more new regts instead of replacing older ones. Thus we can expect PA to form IABGs with these AZs before transferring them to FC.When replacements become available in nos. AZ will be removed from Frontline service n transfered to FC wings.
Maray bhai plz no argument on this....wt I tell u has already been decided.I doubt that AZs will be transferred to FC any time soon.
