Vice Admiral Bhaskar Sadashiv Soman, Chief of Naval Staff, paid a visit to Patton Nagar - the suburb near Bikhiwind Village, about 25 miles from Amritsar, named after the famous tank of which the Indian Army took such heavy toll. In this township are to be seen 94 of the tanks, the bulk of them American Pattons, that were the pride of Pakistan's 1st Armoured Division

exactly what victory in 65?-

Pakistan's victory. They captured the whole of Kashmir after their resounding successes in Operations Gibraltar and Grand Slam. They even captured half the Indian Army and destroyed three quarters of its air force.

I thought you knew? This is taught in Pakistani text books, so you should have known!

Who cares about a few tanks at khem karan when you have khem karan itself?

War historians, including Dr. Philip Towle, regard the Indian resistance near Khem Karan as one of the key turning points of the war, one which tilted the balance of the war in favor of India.Peter Wilson statesthat the defeat of Pakistan Army in the battle of Asal Uttar was one of the greatest defeats suffered by Pakistan forces in the course of Indo-Pakistan war of 1965.

Ref:Wars, Proxy-wars and Terrorism: Post Independent India - Peter Wilson Prabhakar - Google Books

According to military historian Steven Zaloga, Pakistan admitted that it lost 165 tanks during the 1965 war, more than half of which were knocked out during the "debacle" of Asal Uttar

Indian Forces mauled PA with 1:10 tank kills

Destroyed Pakistani tanks in 'Patton Nagar'.

Destroyed Pakistani Tanks, Longewala.

Tank tracks at Longewala. Photographic reconnaissance image taken at the time showing the desperate last minute manoeuvres by Pakistani tanks in the sector, trying to dodge and escape aerial rocket attacks from IAFs Hunter aircraft.. Circles show destroyed Pakistani tanks.

Where J&k was concerned, in 1947, Pakistan had sent well-armed raiders into Jammu & Kashmir but denied its hand in the invasion. They reluctantly accepted their involvement only when the presence of regular Pakistan army was detected in J&K by the UN observers who were deployed there after the Cease-Fire agreement in 1948.

A similar attempt to deny involvement was made in 1965 (Op Gibraltar) and repeated in Kargil in 1999; Pakistani top brass seems to have learnt no lessons despite repeated failures of such operations.
