@@IndianMilitaryHistoryRespected Sir
Greetings for the day!
I am Abhimanyu Joon, resident of Vallabh Vidyanagar, District Anand (Gujarat). The place where I reside is named after independent India’s first Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel because this place is also his birthplace.
My family has been blessed with the opportunity to have served the nation since last 4 generations covering a period of 100 years beginning from World War-1 till date. My grandfather Colonel Baljit Singh, who is the third-generation officer of my family fought for protecting the integrity and sovereignty of the nation during the 1965 Indo-pak war in Sialkot sector, as a member of 3 Madras regiment that constituted 69th Infantry Brigade; 6 Mountain Division. For his active participation in that war, he has been bestowed upon with SAMAR SEVA STAR, RAKSHA MEDAL and SAINYA SEVA MEDAL.
I would like to request if you could make an animation video concerning Battle of Maharajke that was fought during 1965 Indo-pak war in Sialkot sector, inside the enemy territory.
This battle led to capture of pakistani Rangers' Recruitment cum Training centre deep inside enemy territory and provided a launch pad for Indian tank regiments to launch further attacks further inwards leading some of the fiercest battles such as Battle of Phillora, which was the largest tank battle fought after World War -2 on the Indian subcontinent.
Attack on Maharajke and its subsequent capture had many first to it. It was the first trans-border operation conducted by Indian Army for the first time since independence. It involved elements of urban warfare, which involved house-to-house clearing during capture of Maharajke. The Americans had their first experience of urban warfare during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2002-03) after which this type of warfare got popularised, while Indian Armed forces had experienced it 50 years ago during 1965 itself.
Maharajke and its nearby towns and villages such as Phogawal, Kaloi, Phillora, Alhar remained under Indian occupation for 5 months from Sept'65 till Feb'66 when Taskhent pact was formally implemented.
However the irony is the above operation of Maharajke led by the constituent units of 69th Infantry Brigade(6 Mountain Div) which included 3 Madras regiment, one of the oldest infantry units of Indian army could not find it due mention in the official war history that was written 20 years after the war by PhD students from JNU at the behest of Indian Defence Ministry.

That's the Strategy..
India has the Brawn and Brain.. both.
Had it not been Gen Harbaksh Singh, half of Panjab upto Beas including Amritsar, Batala, Gurdaspur and Pathankot (only link to Kashmir) could have been lost. He defied the order of CinC Chaudhry and other high ups to save Darbar Sahib and majha. Salute to great General to save India.
Infact he gave orders of not one step back. Either the Pakistanis would be defeated or we will die standing here, but we will not move back at any cost.
This order proved decisive and won the day.
That's what is required. Strong no nonsense decisions
Yes. That’s what saved India from defeat. We fought for our holy city
This channel is anti Indian .it glorifies Pak
@@aulakh2 Sir, defending isn't enough anymore. Taking over the birth place of Guru Nanak and other key places that help Bharat get a way to the central asia will help us take over war into the enemy territory.
Big Yes..
Thousand salutes to Gen Harbaksh Singh because of his strategy and planning that Punjab is still with India.
Indeed.
Lt. General Harbakash Singh is the MOST BRAVE GENERAL OF INDIA 🇮🇳. We can not get such Officer even after 100 years.
He was attacked by Hindu and Muslim mobs during 1984 he had to save his daughter from getting raped and burning him and his family alive this is India gives to Sikhs
he defended those ungrateful "teli gangu's" who call is community Lassi... so, yeah, why was he a Singh? Not a Marwari, Gujarati, Bania, Jain or the rest? Because Brave men don't pretend to be vegetarian while feeding on the blood of their own people with financial instruments... Sad but true, Harbaksh might have some grand niece or nephew still being harassed by some Bangalore Rikshawalla because these ungrateful majority are so bloody INSECURE about their importance in the whole story
He was not made full General nor Gen. Jagjit Singh Arora. They both were most popular Generals of their respective times, but not made CinC of Indian Army, being Sikhs.;

I was 6 years old in 1965 but I still remember photograph of Major Ranjeet Singh Dayal, hero of Hajipeer with garland of hand greneds around his neck.

In the battle of asal uttar it's not 5 that we Indians lost but 20-25 tanks were lost or disabled when we study the battle many articles or books refer too
This video is highly flawed and terribly biased. It under rates the brilliance of General Harbakhsh Singh. General Harbakhsh Singh was an extraordinarily courageous general, who defied the orders of the then Chief of the Army staff General J.N. Chaudhry to vacate the brave Majha Region and did not surrender Amritsar to the Pakistanis. Rather he succeeded in capturing parts of Lahore and occupied a huge chunk of land in Sialkot Sector. This narration also does not do full justification to the bravery of Major General Rajinder Singh Sparrow.
Not flawed or biased at all. This is a summary of the war and doesn't go into the details of individual battles. There will be many more detailed videos covering all these topics in detail.
Thank you for your note though, it always helps me do better in my videos
1965 was Gen. Harbaksh Singh's war. But for his brilliance, India would have lost Punjab and the war.
I sometimes feel this guy has a natural talent for misinformation .
@@IndianMilitaryHistory do not belittle Indian heroes...
@@TheAnichatt no one's belittling any heroes. You seem to be projecting here.
You missed the most important event in 1965 war, decision of Lt. Gen Harbaksh SIngh to defend Amritsar, when he received orders from top Army Generals to move defence back to Beas river.
Right. I didn't go into the relationship between the COAS and the West Army Commander. Interesting angle to cover here. Thank you for bringing this up.
Had it not been brave General Harbaksh singh India would have lost. Salute to him.
His vision put us in an advantageous position in many battles during the war
Lt. General Harbaksh Singh is probably the most unsung and underrated hero of the Indian Army. He was pivotal in the defence of Akhnoor, the masterful invasion of Lahore, as well as the saviour of Amritsar, Punjab and possibly even Delhi (though we would’ve probably had saved Delhi or won it back regardless).
Well said .. few know that he was one of the first troops to land in Srinagar Oct 27, 1947 to save it from the Pak invaders.
@@IndianMilitaryHistoryalso he volunteered to take a field role for the military, even though it was a position that would be taken by people under his rank during the 1947 war because of the lack of troops in the area.
I agree......he should have become Chief of Army Staff!
@@okee7 absolutely..
He was a great guy. He was an aggressive general but rash too. He did lots of blunders too. His relationship and chemistry with General Chaudhary was pretty bad. He has been praised and criticised for his blunders by Indian military historian and writer, Shiv Kunal Verma ji.
Excellent video , Major General Niranjan Prasad and Brigadier Pathak were spineless cowards who strangely never got court martialled for cowardice .

Major Genral Niranjan Prasad was a coward who also ran away from the Chinese in the war of 1962; Indian army needs to understand that by passing theory exams like a nerd does not make you good a soldier; but a bureaucrat "babu" who just looking for employment as a career option in the name of patriotism. Academics is good; but physically & mentally mentally weak people should never be recruited in Indian defense forces even if they pass all theory exams
There were a lot of losses that the Indian army suffered due to the lack of decisiveness of Gen Prasad during Op Trident. He panicked as soon as the Pak Air Force started targeting indian positions along the GT road. The Jat unit that had crossed icchogil canal didn't receive any reinforcements, so they also had to retreat.
He also wrote a book on 1962 war. As per the Pakistani military historian, writer and geo-political thinker named Major(retd.) Agha Hussain Amin; General Sagat Singh ji was a bold guy who could have done a better job in Lahore sector in September than General Niranjan Prasad.
@@RR-pc7yv Gen Sagat Singh was a bold leader.. his story needs to be told .. I'll be working on that in the coming time .. we don't have enough information on our military leaders out there ..

General Akthar Malik was an Ahmadiya Muslim. This was the sole reason that the sunni establishment in Rawalpindi refused to let him gain the credit of capturing Akhnoor.
Correct .. their internal politics has many times impacted their military operations during war .. this is one such example ..
Wrong. He was Ahmadya , no doubt , but he was removed due to the reason correctly mentioned in the video.
And at Chawinda , he was defending .
The army in Pakistan works on careful selection of next incumbent, who ensures the interests of the predecessors are protected most importantly. Yaha fit that bill, Malik was may be a somewhat unknown entity, unpredictable.
❤ qe will keep cursing Ayoub Kahn for his biased approach towards Ahamdis. Only Ahamdiya jamat can save Pakistan and the world.

Capturing Lahore was a declared aim of the Indian high command.
Attacking Lahore was a brilliant counter move by Indian high command that effectively killed any Pakistani military aim regarding Kashmir , but defending Lahore was an unmatched feat by the defenders.
You can read about the details of Indian formations attacking Lahore. Lightly armed Rangers were defending, numbering around 5000. They stopped a force of an estimated 35,000 backed by mechanised units buying enough time before falling back to the western side of BRB canal. This gave regular troops enough time to fall in defensive positions. The war ended after 17 days at the same point.
Indian high command failed to capture Lahore, and Pakistanis failed in Kashmir. War ended in a stalemate.
Since the Pakistanis started the war , failure to achieve their military aims may be considered as having lost the war.
Thank you for sharing that.
Actually capturing Lahore was never the intended objective of the Indian army during its offensive. Any army that wants to capture and maintain a major city like Lahore would allocate significantly more than 3 divisions for that objectivr.
The intended objective was to start the incursion and build a bridgehead across the Icchogil canal, so Pakistan is forced to divert troops from Akhnoor where they were winning.. which I guess you call the BRB canal now. 3 Jat was actually able to achieve that within a few hours of the ingress and the international media reported that out. This made the Pakistan army abandon their plans in Kashmir and come to the rescue of Lahore. So from that perspective India achieved its primary objective.
But, I think they were not able to capitalize on the initial gains and had to abandon the bridgehead by the end of the same day. This was because the other battalions were not able to reinforce 3 Jat in the later part of the day. A lot of this was due to the effective action by the Pak Air Force.
You're right in pointing out that it came to a stalemate after 20 days of fighting. But since the war was started by Pakistan with Op Gibralter and then Grand Slam, Indian side had to just thwart that effort, which it did. So I assess this as a loss from Pakistan's perspective and a stalemate from India' s perspective.
The war was a disaster fir both sides with some brilliant defence from both sides as well.
Pakistan army had a myth that Indian forces would not fight back, was proven wrong. And like you said, the Pakistan army's objective was not achieved so technically they took nothing from the war, for India achieving status quo was a victory.
Pakistan army repeated the same thing in Kargil, showing it never learns and as institution it lacks accountability.
Appreciate you for being balanced in your assessment.
@@jattstud thank you

The echo lingers on not because of the war itself but because of the bad faith of both the parties to the Tashkent Agreement. From day one it was broken. It was clearly stated that both nations would move forward with increased cultural and trade exchanges after the war. Far from increasing them, all the rail links were cut off, so was the free movement of people, restrictive visa regime was introduced. The agreeement was a joke.
I'd read up more on this. Some of the decisions were definitely odd. I need to learn more about the rationale behind those
US UK CHINA tried so much to destroy India multiple times they even gave their best tanks and crafts to Pakistan but they didnt know that they were against Mighty Indian who never attacked first on others and secondly they invested in Pakistan😂
By far one of the best videos I've seen about 1965 war

1965 turned out to be the biggest disaster in Pakistan till 1971. Pakistan won few battles, but lost the war, the reason for starting it.... capturing Kashmir. Pakistan never won a war..❤
India is very good at getting surprised and shocked .
K
True. 1999 Kargil and 2020 Ladakh are other examples where Indian army was taken by surprise. It seems there is no institutional memory and /or complete failure of intelligence and planning.
That Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri was such a strong PM of India and would take action against an ally of the US, he was suffered a mysterious death (murdered) very the next day, on 11 Jan 66, of signing the Ceasefire agreement on 10 Jan 66. All this happened on foreign soil.
Yes, more investigation was needed in the circumstances of his death.
@@IndianMilitaryHistory We were not so strong then and plus, the political will was also surely lacking.
Rubbish. He wasn't murdered

India was not aware about Pakistan army ready to attack in Kashmir suddenly they attacked and took away POK given name that was part of India in 9th April 1965
It depends on your definition of victory. International sources like VoA, BBC and Australian declare 1965 a Pak victory with more area captured, more IAF planes downed and tanks destroyed
For losers the difference between victory and defeat is wafer thin😅

we gave back haji pir which is still used by pakistan to infiltrate kashmir. We could have captured Lahore as there was no defence there when Indian armed units entered. This baffled commanders and they thought this was a tactic and trap of pak army and didnt capture the city till the enforcements came. By that time pak army regrouped and fought back and our backups never arrived.
Haji Pir decision was strange for sure.
However capturing Lahore was never the objective. Objective was to just threaten it so as to remove pressure building on Akhnoor
yes, but if we had captured lahore we would have more leverage in negotiating including areas in kashmir. In 1971 too we gave the losing side all the advantage.@@IndianMilitaryHistory
22:12 As a person who ìs
a professional soldier let me educate you. Haji Pir had to be exchanged for territory lost in Akhnur sector. Pak was sitting deployed at 4 km from the Akhnur Iron Bridge over River Chenab. In another war initiated by Pak or a standalone operation all it could have very well done was to make a short heavily weighted thrust to cut the road to Rajouri and Poonch.It was too dangerous for us.
As far as Lahore is concerned, for a layman it sounds so simple to take a built up area of that size. The Israel Hamas War in Gaza is a good example to absorb the challenge built up areas pose
@@atahasnain thank you for your response sir. Big fan, would love to connect with you for a podcast 🙂
@@atahasnain sir, I know it was exchanged for areas captured by pak. But operational difficulties and strategic importance of haji pir was greater and that hurts India till now. Akhnur we could have pushed them back with help from airforce.
And in 1971, anyways with 1 lac captured pak soldiers, we could have forced them to accept our demands. It was perhaps first time in history that a lost side dictated terms in talks and got better deal! Inept political leadership and some magnanimous/short sighted advice from some top military think tank caused unending headache for us and we still bleed in valley due to this.
Lahore and gaza cases are totally different. It was almost unguarded when we reached there and could have easily captured and enforced it with arrival of more forces. Imagine what would be leverage for Pakistan if it had captured Amritsar... Same or more case of Lahore.
Anyhow, next time hope we learn from these blunders since 47 and have worked out solid plan for all scenarios. Thank god cong is not in power!

For a small country like Pakistan which is the size of MP and UP with 1/4th the population of India to gain stalemate against India is an embarrassment for Bollywood first India.
Your understanding of war and conflicts is very limited. A war's progression is just not a function of its numbers - although quantity is a quality in its own way. An war's progression is also a function of its weapon systems, its non state players, and its willingness to take the initiative.
In this regard, Pakistan had better weapon systems than India due to its arrangements with the Western Powers, they took the initiative by attacking first and India had to respond, and they used their non state actors as an effective tool ..
Hope that helps you understand wars and conflicts better. Nothing to do with Bollywood, I can assure you that the Indian army is not Bollywood first.
IT IS INDIA FIRST!!

We have watched many documentary on 1971 war on eastern front.
Can u plz make a similar vid on 1971 war on western front.. Focussing solely on Ground operations and air battle.

Why does the audio cutoff at 19:38 ??
UA-cam flagged some bg music with copyright issues .. even though I bought a license .. I fought with them for a week and then gave up .. didn't have the patience to continue the back and forth
In fact there are many fabrications in this video. I am an eyewitness of 1965 war.
My uncle was Colonel on the Lahore front and I as a young Lieutenant was in Sialkot getting ready to be deployed to Kashmir when India attacked Wahga. My uncle was among the first respondents and got the call at 2:30AM. We started defence of Lahore from the 3rd line of defence along the city limits of Lahore. My father as a reserved volunteer joined his brother's unit.
Pakistan responded with intense heavy guns and airforce. By noon Indian offence was halted. Indians had overnight established a temporary camp east of Dograe Kalan and occupied the BRB canal bridge on GT Road. Local villagers and Pakistan soldiers succeeded in breaching the banks of BRB canal and numerous points.
As the Pakistani offensive intensified Indians retreated but the water slowed down their retreat. Indians took heavy casualties and had to abandon their combat vehicles and ride trucks. Apparently there were not enough to evacuate Indians troops quickly. After the war an Indian Brigadier's jeep was found stuck in the fields.
Communications were poor in Indian army. Many units were not aware that they were to retreat from Wahga sector back to India. A few lost lives but many were taken by Pakistani Army.
On Sialkot front, I was getting ready for Kashmir deployment when India attacked Chumb a border village north of Sialkot and captured it without resistance. We were sent to Chumb instead, but India after taking village overnight, abandoned it by the dawn. There was not a single person in the village when we arrived.
That was when we heard that India had attacked Chawinda front south of Sialkot. It seemed like Chumb was just a distraction.
It was Chawinda where the biggest tank battle took place. India had attacked Chawinda with all their tank might. Pakistan had to redirect their armour from SIalkot. Chawinda was definitely a surprise and showed that India planned the war very well. But Chawinda was the place where biggest battle of tanks took place since WWII.
On Kasur / Kham Karan front, Pakistan met little resistance and advanced well into India. One can say that India fought with all it had after Kham Karan fell to Pakistan, Pakistan did not lose the number of tanks India claimed. We lost a very capable Brigadier Ahsan Rashid Shami there, but shortly after Asal Uttar battle started, cease fire was called and no side took much life or equipment loss there. If at all, India took heavy losses in the Kaem Karar battle and on retreat to Asal Uttar.
On Chawinda side, where we were re-deployed, Indian attack was mighty. Hundreds of tanks were rolled in. Neither Pakistan not India were well versed in armored warfare.
I was attached with Major Nasir Khan who had recently returned from America after an advance armor battle course. Pakistan rolled in tanks from Gujranwala Cantt. Pakistan tanks moved much faster than Indians, and could shoot much longer range. Also, Pakistani tanks could fire on the move while Indians could not.
Chawinda battle was the largest. It was fought in Pakistan territory and Gujranwala was not far from there. So Indian advance had to be halted at all cost. Pakistani tanks surrounded Chawinda to defend any advances towards Gujranwala and Sialkot. We did that very well. Major Nasir wes probably the only one in that battle on either side who knew how to use tanks.
Airforce came to great rescue as well. Short story, a huge count of Indian tanks were destroyed. Indians were pushed out of Chawinda but were still occupying a large Pakistani territory when ceasefire was called. Battleground was littered with destroyed and abandoned Indian tanks. They remained there for years. Village children made games climbing them. Some were taken away by Pakistan army for war museum.
Indian attack along international border was unexpected and took Pakistan by surprise. But it seemed that Indians had planned it well and for a long time. It definitely was not a reaction to Akhnoor.
India attacked Pakistan at Wahga (Lahore), Kasur and Chawinda simultaneously. Lahore attack was repelled within a couple of days. At Kasur front Pakistan moved well into India capturing Khem Karan and advancing. At Chawinda again very heavy Indian attack was halted but Pakistan could not respond quick enough.
From Pakistan point of view, strategy was evolving, since Indian attack was unexpected. It was broken down into two phases -
1- Defend and stop Indians
2- Counter attack
Pakistan was able to do the counter attack on Kasur front and capture Khem Karan. But before Pakistan could launch a counter offensive, ceasefire was called. We will never know what would have been the outcome of Pakistani counter offensive. But this is an eyewitness account.
Salute for your and your family services to this nation. Your eye witness account us the real truth, but these are times of propaganda and lies and indian keep on making this false propaganda and as they are my h more in numbers so the lie more. Irony is that even many Pakistani also get effected by this kind of propaganda. Yes Pakistani troops fought valiantly and gave such a response that indian have to restore such hilarious claims that they did not want to capture Lahore. Secondly they brought another big lie that Pakistan had better equipment. But when we check we find it was a big fat lie to hide their humiliation.
I know this daily news read daily. .everything correct .jai jawan jai kissaan slogan given by lalbahadur sasthri ji ,very famous
Pakistani military was ordered by its Western masters to halt the attack.
They don't want any side to get in position that Kashmir dispute gets resolved and the bone of contention between both former colonies gets solved.
As a Bangladeshi, I should say this IDIOTIC war of 1965 was started by over estimation of strength of Pakistan keeping East Pakistan open to attack by India without any effective power of military strength in East Pakistan by Ayub Khan regime. Same should be said of Arab - Israel 6-day war of 1967 started by Arab world without understanding the real strength of Israel was USA. Had Ayub Khan of Pakistan understood after Indo-China war of 1962, that East PAKISTANIS should have access to arms and ammunition like West Pakistan, not neglecting East Pakistanis as short statured, KALA ADMI not fit for war, then East Pakistan could not be separated
I would differ with you in that. So the estimation that Ayub made was accurate - after the 1962 India China war, the Indian military was weak. However it was rapidly building its capabilities under the new defense minister YB Chavan. Ayub' s perspective was this was their chance - they had to attack India before it got too strong again. The mistake he made was that he waited too long - some of the transformation in the Indian Military had already started trickling in by 1965. 1963 would have been a much more ideal timeline for the attack from Pakistan perspective. But again perhaps they were also not ready with their weapon systems by then.
Agree with you on the points on East Pakistan.
It was PAF that gained air superiority and reached its zenith at the end.
The leadership shown by Maj General Akhtar had been outstanding. The indian authors even now grudgingly admire him for his outstanding qualities of head and heart.
In Sialkot seector, 25th cavalary under lt Col Nisar Kaka overwhelmed indias elephant division. The regiment is nicknamed as Men of Steel..
Another unsung hero was General Azhar who captured more than 2000 sq km in Rajistan.
Pak major failure was pincer attack near first armour div. We lost two gallant sons of Pakistan lt Col Sahibdad gul and Brg. Shami.
The bottom line is three time smaller forces of Pakistan were able to outsmart and outshoot indian armed forces. However PAF under AM Nur khan dominated the skies throughout the conflict.
Thank you for sharing this. Can you provide me some references or books for the battles from Pakistan's perspective?
After 19 minutes of video,voice is not coming,faile to get wt happened at last
UA-cam gods docked us for some bg score. We had to remove that part.
UA-cam is always meddling with footage, that doesn't fit the approved narrative.
It means no black magic spells and spiritual charms work during the battle but pure training on science based technology war equipments play the decisive role. So no spiritual nonsense exists lol
Why silent at 19:40 ? 😮
Pakistan Sab Jung Jeet Gaya to Bangladesh kyu bana aur Kashmir Aaj bhi Bharat mein kyu hai Tumhare isi bewkoofi k wajah se Tumhary Army Aaj tumhein hi Dauda dauda k peet hai hai 75 saal Kashmir ko pane aur India ko harane ki soch mein waste nahi karte to Aaj bohot agey hote
Pakistan army hasn't won any wars till date.
The only success you can attribute to them is their role in the 1980s against the Soviet Union
A Balanced view
That's what we aspire for .. thank you
If an Ahamdi Major generla Malik Akhtar Husain had not been replaced by a drunk General Yahiya khan, kashmir had been captured. Nation will always curse Ayoub khan for his grave mistake.
Brave. Army
The question is ... why do we hesitate to pay that country back in their own currency. Why is India so hesitant to create similar pain on them NOW ... why does India swallow so much humiliation and not feel vengeful. What is wrong with us ?????
30000 soldiers of ssg sf isn't it quite a number?? For a special force
There were elements of the SSG in Op Gibralter ..
30,000 is a highly inflated number. And , an impractical one. Most historians agree to a number around 5,000. They did include elements of SSG. Contrary to the beliefs, SSG was a much smaller force of specially trained soldiers.
And yes , Kashmiris were not ready nor willing to collaborate with the intruders and gave them away in some cases.
30000 is a very large number for special forces. Pakistan has traditionally worked on unconventional methods much more than India. But unconventional guerilla forces can only reach a particular level much below the victory bar. Their success needs to be followed up the the conventional forces, which was not the case ever with Pakistan. This has been their weakest link. Their planners thought guerilla forces can run over an army, impractical.
A Big Salute to our Brave Soldiers 🫡🫡🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏
What happened? I couldnt heard the last 20 seconds.
ZAB is proved to have been involved in 1965 war against india in this video and was hanged by pak army general zia calling him a Hindu what an irony
Most westsrn analysts agree dat had war continued indians wudve totally obliterated pakistan..india had captured mucj more pakistani territory dan pakistan had indian .. unfortunately indian leaders myopically preferred peace rarher dan destroying pakistani forces .. indira gandhi repeated same mistake in 1971 when after slicing pak in two parts witjin 6 days she preferred peace and spared west pakistan
Not correct. The 1965 war by its 3rd week had become a war of attrition. So any gains made would have been very costly for both sides. In 1965 Indian objective was not to capture or destroy the Pakistan side, it was to deny the Pakistan side from achieving its objectives in Kashmir - which they did very smartly.
1971 also opening the Western front into West Pakistan and prolonging the war was not an option since there was tremendous international pressure on declaring ceasefire right from the beginning. The Soviet Union has given us a little breathing room to achieve our objectives in the east.
30,000 means two divisions of infiltrators, which is ridiculous, was the Indian army sleeping in their bunkers. In fact, these were around 500 special services men. This claim of 30,000 has lost any credibility of this video.
The details of the approx 30000 infiltrators in the valley have been well documented .. yes, only a portion of them would have been the SSG ..
It's indian side story, infect reality was much different.
Please elaborate on the parts from the Pakistan perspective I have missed. I covered the PAF response, their advance in Akhnoor etc
You have deliberately underplayed the Pakistani defence at Chawinda . That battle is known as the biggest tank battle after the 2nd World War because it involved the largest formations of tanks/mechanised divisions from both sides. Indian tank divisions had suffered heavy losses at Chawinda.
Major General Akhtar Hussain Malik was defending, and at the height of the engagement between two sides, he requested SOS fire from the heavy Pakistani artillary to be dropped on the battle field with a risk of hitting own troops and tanks.
The battle of Asl utter was not really a tank to tank battle. A brilliant defence strategy bogged down the Pakistani attack , inflicting heavy losses.
Nothing is deliberate here .. I didn't cover the Battle of Phillora or Chawinda. The Battle of Phillora was extremely favourable to the Indian side while Chawinda wasn't. These would be a part of the deep dives that are planned out for later .. So do stay tuned for that.
Secondly, battle of Asal Uttar is significant because it was the elite tank unit of the Pakistan army composed of its most advanced Patton tanks in that battle. These were defeated by the much older centurion tanks of the Indian army, along with support from other tank hunting parties.
I am assuming you are from Pakistan .. I hope you are staying safe in Pakistan. I know things are kind of fluid with the recent elections. Praying for democratic forces to prevail and the will of the people is heard. Pakistan can finally become a country that has an army, as opposed to a country that is owned by its army. Take care.
Brigadier Abdul Ali Malik was defending, not Gen. Akhtar Malik.
Principle of war allowed others to engulf pok so why during victory in Bangladesh wasn't taken under Bharat territory allowed freedom.. Goodwill or tactical planning of Chinese funding for political interest.
But India was more vulnerable in 1962 during Indo-China war, why Pakistan did not start was at that time? That`s a qusetion always poke me. If your channel can answer, i`d be thankful
Good question. yes, early 1963 would have been a good time to start a campaign from a Pakistan perspective. I'll have to read more in this.
Pakistan's strategy in 1965 heavily depended on modern equipment to offset India's numerical advantage. I'd be curious to see when the Patton tanks, F86 Sabres, and F104 starfighters were inducted into the Pak armed forces.
Even in 1965 they first tried to test the waters in Gujarat before moving forward.
@@IndianMilitaryHistorythis a big fat lie of indian forces that Pakistan had better equipments. If you don't know let me enlighten you IAF had mig 21 in their inventory they are very candid about his many. Going by the time line at least two squadrons all armed with air to air missiles.
@@IndianMilitaryHistoryIAF workhorse was Hawker Hunter a very capable aircraft and on paper a better aircraft than f86 . With six squadron of Hunter and if I am not wrong six of Canberra bomber squadrons, Pakistan had only 20 B 57, 102 f86 only 20 armed with missiles ab 12 f104. IAF had better equipment and much greater number but it's losses were four time than PAF.
@@IndianMilitaryHistoryI am sure you are aware of all these but don't want to accept just to hide indian humiliation. Go and check how good was centurion tank many analyst declared it better than Patton. Indian Navy was huge but what sn American analyst said AF few thousand dollars investment in a second world war submarine turned whole indian navy into eunuch. That is the reality you indian don't want to accept.
Although it's an india documentary but it sounds pretty fair
Keep in mind Pakistan is the one 5th of indian size
This sounded as two countries equal in size are fighting
It's a world record
Find another country struggling with 5th of its size
However this was before Pakistan army decided to pay attention to business rather then their actual job
Right now ask Modi why has he gone silent on Pakistan
You now why ???
Real bosses of the world has told modi to shut up about Pakistan because they need em
Regardless its size Pakistan is an American sheriff in this region.
Rann of Kutch ceasefire was 01 July 1965 and not 01January 1965.
Did I make an error here on the text?
I am living Chawinnda, there is no doubt that Indian tanks came here but did not go back tanks are still present here, they left the tanks and run away.
Thank you for sharing. Every tank battle has losses on both sides. We on the Indian side have a town named Patton Magar seeing all the Patton tanks that were abandoned and destroyed during Pakistan army's failed campaign in Asal Uttar.
Anyway, I hope you stay safe. I know things are rough over there.
Pakistani tanks also captured and destroyed by Punjab regiment in longawala😂
@@abhirupbiswas6937go and check what Maj general Atma Singh wrote about it.

Sabre jet is designated as F-86
Yes .. I corrected that in subsequent air war videos ..

Very impressive information. Chawinda had the greatest Tank battle where two Indian armored Divs were faced against Colonel Nisar. Who was able to hold down the Indian division with 60 tanks.
Remember it was Lt Gen. Abdul aleee malik who was commanding St chawinda and Colonel Nusar is being mentioned here just because they want to hide the fact that an AHMADIE WSS COMMANDER IN CHAWIND.A......he saved pakistan in chawinda
Get your FACTS straight the Battle of Asal Uttar was the biggest Tank battle fought after the Battle of Kursk in WW2 not Chawinda and As Usual given the naPaki habit of highly Exaggerating ANYTHING, you claimed victory even after being slapped silly & dizzy!!!😂
But it's OK you NEVER LEARN anything from History hence are at the Mercy today of All who can LOAN you Funds, carry on your Charade!!!
