I'm glad you guys finally did something on the Indo Pakistani War of 71 because no offense to India, but every time they do something on this topic its very hard to take them seriously because of how unnecessarily goofy they are when they depict it on media but they do alot better when they do documentaries sometimes on this but this is true as it will ever get until india decides to make it convincing and believable enough as they do with documentaries. What we also need is something on the Nathu La and Cho La clashes or the Second Sino Indian War of 1967.
Brave man tempting the UA-cam overlords with such a vicious brand as a toy, die cast metal, not real firearm look alike as "Goat Guns!!!" 😇😂 Cheers mate, love your videos!!
What makes this even more interesting is that Indian Admiral Nanda was born in Karachi. He also learned sailing at the Karachi Yacht club. He talks about the bittersweetness of this operation in his book.

When news of Pakistan's surrender broke, the Soviets were more jubilant than India because this was the first time that a Soviet backed nation had won against a western backed nation.
I read somewhere that even the soviet defence minister was surprised that styx missiles worked so well. It was made mainly to attack enemy ships not land targets but India pulled off an attack on land too which Soviets never thought India would be able to do. They thought India had no weapon for ship to land attack.
That is actually really impressive by the Indian Navy. One of the things that surprised me the most was honestly that those soviet era missiles actually did their job quite well.
Well at this one they were in their prime, not rotted and decrepit because they were in storage for 50 years Alright leave out of the war in the comments below please
Like what was said, the Soviet missiles were actually pretty good for the time. The problem is that those same missiles aren't that good today and those same missiles are still being used today way past the end of their shelf life. The war in Ukraine shows just how well those old missiles are because both sides are still using them and there is only something like 20% failure when one would expect 60%+ failures.
You must probably end up weeping if they start telling you the history of Pakistani F-104 Starfighters getting shot down by Indian Mig 21s. This war essentially demonstrated that Cold war era American military equipment wasn't invincible. If it was, US ally Pakistan wouldn't have lost so badly.
Bro don't just only thank india, join india in next conflict if Pakistan dares and contribute in liberation of Baluchis like india did to the people of Bangladesh by stopping the genocide and mass r*pes against innocent population of Balochistan 😢
The pogroms and rapes, the unbelievable depravities of Pakistani Army deserved a response. . I hope that my country contributes not just militarily for my neighborhood though. We hope to contribute to economic, health and education sectors of our neighborhood without the political agenda.
Let me share an interesting tidbit Indian Navy's aircraft carrier INS vikrant which the PNS Ghazi was trying to hunt was not present at the port of vishakapatnam at that time to begin with, Indian Navy had already moved it elsewhere anticipating attacks on it yet several operations were undertaken by the Indian naval intelligence to fool the Pakistanis into thinking that vikrant was still present at visakhapatnam, one of which was ordering large quantities of rations from local markets to the port, the idea was to fool the enemy spies into thinking there's a large vessel docked at the vishakapatnam port and these rations are for its crew At the same time a destroyer INS rajput was packed with multitude of sensory equipment to emit the signals of INS vikrant and was used as a decoy,, everyday it used to sail around 160 miles off vishakapatnam And it actually worked, on 25th November 1971 the Indian Navy intercepted a signal which was being sent from the Pakistani naval establishment to the PNS Ghazi saying :- “INTELLIGENCE INDICATES CARRIER IN PORT” and that she should proceed to Visakhapatnam with all despatch!” This deception plan of the naval intelligence successfully managed to fool the Pakistani intelligence and PNS Ghazi into believing that INS vikrant was still present at visakhapatnam

thats cause US had supported Pakistan and sent its Carrier battle group into Indian waters. India didn chicken out and instead sent its own Carrierr Battle Group head on, and asked the Soviets to back em up. US didn wanna face a Indian+Soviet fleet and backed out.

This was done deliberately(since all crew of the OSA M Class missile boats which were used, were trained in the Soviet union and knew Russian) ,hence even if Indian naval communications were somehow intercepted Pakistanis would be confused_* *_Coincidently, it was later revealed that Pakistanis were utterly terrified assuming that the Soviet Union itself had attacked them, by the time they realized what was happening 🇮🇳IN.

A small details was missed out. The small Soviet missile boats were actually towed by the larger IN warships as it had limited endurance and had to retreat at full speed after emptying the missile silos. Even Russians were impressed after they realized it.
The naval war of 71 was a very interesting conflict it saw the first use of anti-ship missiles in the ground attack role, it almost saw a carrier battle between the Indian navy and the US navy and the birth of the Bangladesh navy.

The official version of the Indian Navy is that the Ghazi was sunk by the Rajput's depth charges at around midnight of 3/4 December. However, there have been several opposing theories put forward mainly due to the confusion of dates and when the Rajput sailed out on it's mission which led analysts to conclude that the Rajput was nowhere near when the explosions took place. There have been some recollections by officers that the explosions actually occurred on 2/3 December. Lt H Dhingra of the Indian submarine rescue vessel, Nistar said that the explosions had been reported to him on 1/2 December. Though, it was later confirmed without doubt that the Ghazi exploded at 00:15 hrs on 3/4 December when the Rajput sailed out, consideration of these varying reports led to a theory that the Ghazi was actually sunk by accidentally detonating one of it's own mines when it was laying a mine-field. Ghazi presumably had commenced laying mines on 3 December 1971 and at least 2-3 mines were laid in close proximity in a linear pattern 150 meters apart and at a depth of about 30 meters. These mines had a "ship count" mechanism meaning that the mine would arm only after a preset number of ships or submarines had passed overhead. It was also possible that the Rajput's depth charges had caused the mines to arm and was ready to claim their victim, friend or foe. It has been well established that the position where the depth charges were launched was almost exactly where the wreck of the Ghazi was found so damage to the latter by the charges was almost inevitable. The clock recovered from the wreck of the Ghazi had stopped functioning at exactly 00:15 hrs, which was around 10-15 minutes after the charges were launched. However, on interrogation, the divers revealed that the hull had been blown outwards, probably due an internal explosion. One of the causes for this could have been a Hydrogen explosion, which may occur while recharging of the batteries, but if this were the case, the bodies found in the Ghazi would have been charred a lot more. Also, the possibility of an external mine causing the sinking was completely ruled out due to the amount of internal damage suffered and the forward section of the hull being splayed outward. It is more probable that there was an internal fire in the forward area where the torpedoes and mines were stored and near the torpedo tubes that ultimately sealed the fate of the Ghazi.
@ieirodov14 lol the fragile egos of you Indian people. You have to believe that Westerners don't want to accept that PNS Ghazi was sunk by India. So pathetic. I read another comment here from an Indian person saying that the Indian Navy has not admitted directly to sinking the Ghazi, probably because the war had not yet started. That came from your countryman. YOU get your facts straight. 😂🤣
To confuse and mislead the PNS Gazi, INS Rajput was given orders to maintain a high level of radio communication to give the impression that it was INS Vikrant.INS Rajput detected underwater movements and suspected the presence of a submarine. The ship dropped depth charges in the area where PNS Ghazi was believed to be operating.

Operation Trident was an offensive operation launched by the Indian Navy on Pakistan's port city of Karachi during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Operation Trident saw the first use of anti-ship missiles in combat in the region. The operation was conducted on the night of 4-5 December and inflicted heavy damage on Pakistani vessels and facilities. While India suffered no losses, Pakistan lost a minesweeper, a destroyer, a cargo vessel carrying ammunition, and fuel storage tanks in Karachi. Another destroyer was also badly damaged and eventually scrapped. India celebrates its Navy Day annually on 4 December to mark this operation. Trident was followed up by Operation Python three days later.
IMPORTANT TIMELINE IN 1971 WAR 3 December 1971 : Pakistani pre-emptive airstrikes in India. (What a deadly strike by PAF...with zero casualties and zero jet destroyed/damaged of indian side) As a result, India declares war against Pakistan 3 to 6 December 1971 : Battle of Chamb; Pakistan attacks and takes over part of southern Kashmir from India. 4 December 1971 : Battle of Longewala; India stops a Pakistani invasion directed at Jaisalmer (Note : most epic battle of 1971 ..must search about it) 8 December:1971 : Operation Python: Indian naval attack on Karachi, West Pakistan. 11 December 1971 : USS Enterprise is deployed by the US Navy in the Bay of Bengal to intimidate the Indian Navy. 13 December 1971 : Soviet Navy deploys a group of warships to counter Enterprise. The Enterprise moves towards Southeast Asia, averting a confrontation. 16 December 1971 : End of the Bangladesh Liberation War. Pakistan Army surrenders to Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora of the Indian Army. (Note : World record was made by Pakistan military. 90000+ Pakistan soldiers surrendered to indian army in Dhaka. It was largest surrender after WW2) 22 December1971 : The provisional government of Bangladesh arrives in Dhaka from exile. Within 13 Days india defeated Pakistan. Pakistan was not alone ..many countries supported Pak through Aid, military supplies and weapons, many helped Pakistan by giving them jets and ships Just like the west doing for Ukraine. On the other hand india was poor. Only USSR Helped india with weapon supplies.
I guess it isn't fair to compare ourselves with ukraine... even at that time, we had an aircraft carrier, anti sub warfare units, a whole airforce, big army, and a kick ass naval branch. We were not poor in terms of units. Although some of our weapons were merely ourdated. Also, ukraine is fighting to maintain it's independence. It's russia who has attacked ukraine, not the other way around. Also, putin says that all ex ussr countries don't have a right to exist. Ukraine was never a part of nato. They just wanted to be a member of EU. Putin simply denies the right of existence to ukraine. That's the whole issue.
@@Integratededucationol ok... You mean russia is the culprit? Russia already gave the green light to Ukraine for EU not for the NATO... It is NATO who's poking russia using Ukraine. Even after knowing that they have neutrality agreement between them. Why the west is pushing russia into the corner ? Why NATO is exist? There is no USSR...now. USSR dissolved the Warsaw pact they made against NATO. It was not USSR who broke promises of no expansion after Germany's NATO entry. Ukraine broke the neutrality agreement they had with russia.. Which is an act of war... Try breaking the Indus water treaty between india Pakistan...and see who things get escalate.
There was nothing deadly about PAF strikes codenamed Operation Changez Khan. Indians suffered light losses. Just a few craters on runways of airfields & bases. Then Indians retaliated and destroyed PAF jets in PAF air bases in Pakistan.
Pak army rape*d millions of Bangladeshi women, killed them, chopped their brea*st and had thrown them in the river. Our river was full of blood and dead bodies. Millions of bangladesis ( east Pakistan) migrated to India and asked India for help, there was a movement in Bangladesh called mukhti behini they fought pak army and asked India for help, our then prime minister called for emergency parliamentary meeting and our opposition supported the govt to help bangladesis and get involved in war. USA, nato, and all European countries supported pak. Pak had better weapons and machinery. In fact USA sent warship to destroy India but it was Russia who came in support of India so USA had to step back and India won the war. 93000 pak soldiers surrender in front of 3000+ indian soldiers ( they had wrong information that we're having more soldiers than them it was completely "art of war")

This shows how important large ammunition production will be for militaries in future wars - and in turn - how important it is to choose peace and multilateralism.
India will be able to match its adversaries. It looks like a good decade for Indian influence. Their ASMs are just like the ones that used to be feared during the Cold War. BrahMos I think they call it. It's like the red navy cruisers' missiles. One of those would split a destroyer in half. If India becomes a huge arms exporter to SEA , the PLA will have very limited options. Some countries have already ordered these missiles. Precise, supersonic, long range, 1000kg of boom and I think they have a system similar to NATO reporting name Sandbox. That was an advanced system that had a Salvo of missiles flying and communicating with each other to select targets autonomously in flight. I might be wrong on that, but it's exactly what you want to sink a flotilla or carrier group

That is actually really impressive by the Indian Navy. One of the things that surprised me the most was honestly that those soviet era missiles actually did their job quite well.
Well at this one they were in their prime, not rotted and decrepit because they were in storage for 50 years
Alright leave out of the war in the comments below please
Like what was said, the Soviet missiles were actually pretty good for the time. The problem is that those same missiles aren't that good today and those same missiles are still being used today way past the end of their shelf life. The war in Ukraine shows just how well those old missiles are because both sides are still using them and there is only something like 20% failure when one would expect 60%+ failures.
True but evidence too why the U.S. has always taken Russia's military capacity seriously.
You must probably end up weeping if they start telling you the history of Pakistani F-104 Starfighters getting shot down by Indian Mig 21s.
This war essentially demonstrated that Cold war era American military equipment wasn't invincible. If it was, US ally Pakistan wouldn't have lost so badly.
Indian military actually gives much higher emphasis on maintainance of their equipment compared to the Russians.
Thank u India for 1971❤️

I hope that my country contributes not just militarily for my neighborhood though. We hope to contribute to economic, health and education sectors of our neighborhood without the political agenda.
Let me share an interesting tidbit
Indian Navy's aircraft carrier INS vikrant which the PNS Ghazi was trying to hunt was not present at the port of vishakapatnam at that time to begin with, Indian Navy had already moved it elsewhere anticipating attacks on it yet several operations were undertaken by the Indian naval intelligence to fool the Pakistanis into thinking that vikrant was still present at visakhapatnam,
one of which was ordering large quantities of rations from local markets to the port, the idea was to fool the enemy spies into thinking there's a large vessel docked at the vishakapatnam port and these rations are for its crew
At the same time a destroyer INS rajput was packed with multitude of sensory equipment to emit the signals of INS vikrant and was used as a decoy,, everyday it used to sail around 160 miles off vishakapatnam
And it actually worked, on 25th November 1971 the Indian Navy intercepted a signal which was being sent from the Pakistani naval establishment to the PNS Ghazi saying :- “INTELLIGENCE INDICATES CARRIER IN PORT” and that she should proceed to Visakhapatnam with all despatch!”
This deception plan of the naval intelligence successfully managed to fool the Pakistani intelligence and PNS Ghazi into believing that INS vikrant was still present at visakhapatnam
& It was destroyed by INS Rajput by depth Charge
This was a very cool little bit of information
@@the3rdid485 Here is another: During the entire operation, Indian missile boats and corvettes were communicating in Russian.
@@death_parade Actually we don't need to we have so many languages. IA often uses its multilingual officers to communicate in different langauages at the border

thats cause US had supported Pakistan and sent its Carrier battle group into Indian waters. India didn chicken out and instead sent its own Carrierr Battle Group head on, and asked the Soviets to back em up. US didn wanna face a Indian+Soviet fleet and backed out.
Its not surprising. History is barely taught at all and there isnt enough time to start talking about other country's wars and history.

wars are won on objectives.. Pakistan didn't achieve its objective of operation Gibraltar and opration grand slam..which was to capture kashmir
On the other hand india successfully defended kashmir
Pakistan had better weapons and soldiers with high moral... unlike india
Still India captured 1820 km² land of Pakistan...where Pakistan only captured 580 km² of indian land.
Even against china as well. Especially 1967 war , Galwan issue tawang issue etc...
you didnt crush us in 1947-48 (we have half of kashmir if you guys had we wouldnt have kashmir or gilgit) nor did you crush us in 1965
They need to win once but we need to win every time...
Absolutely delighted that Ops Room is covering this war. It's a "minor" conflict with major players. India and Soviets on one side and Pakistan, china and the west on the other.
2 more incidents from this war that may be worth covering are the battle of Longewala where an Indian company of 100 men held off a regiment(?) Of Pakistani mobile infantry.
The second incident is the battle of Assal Uttar where indian centurion and AMX 13s faced off against Pakistani Pattons. One of the biggest tank on tank engagement of the modern era.
Edit: Inaccurately said that Assal Uttar happened in this war. It was actually an event from the 65 war
I think Assal Uttar is from 65 war.
It was a major conflict, not calling it one is so Eurocentric

Impressive feat by the Indian Navy.
A small details was missed out. The small Soviet missile boats were actually towed by the larger IN warships as it had limited endurance and had to retreat at full speed after emptying the missile silos. Even Russians were impressed after they realized it.
Sweet mother of god, that was a brutal engagement...
Wait until you hear Operation Python, and Indian Navy's East Pakistan Ops...
Here to watch before Google automatically deletes something
I have heard,Indian crew only spoke Russian through the radio while communicating..that’s y pak thought they were attacked by airforce!!
The crew that attacked Karachi had just returned from USSR after training
They thought the Soviet Union itself had attacked them and were terrified. Smart move by the Indians
This was one of the most brilliant naval attacks, using small missiles boats in a way even the original designers didn't imagine they could be used.
The naval war of 71 was a very interesting conflict it saw the first use of anti-ship missiles in the ground attack role, it almost saw a carrier battle between the Indian navy and the US navy and the birth of the Bangladesh navy.
Well done! This is a war you don't often hear about. Thanks for bringing this to us!

Pns ghazi was destroyed by the Indian navy not unknown circumstances
The official version of the Indian Navy is that the Ghazi was sunk by the Rajput's depth charges at around midnight of 3/4 December. However, there have been several opposing theories put forward mainly due to the confusion of dates and when the Rajput sailed out on it's mission which led analysts to conclude that the Rajput was nowhere near when the explosions took place. There have been some recollections by officers that the explosions actually occurred on 2/3 December. Lt H Dhingra of the Indian submarine rescue vessel, Nistar said that the explosions had been reported to him on 1/2 December. Though, it was later confirmed without doubt that the Ghazi exploded at 00:15 hrs on 3/4 December when the Rajput sailed out, consideration of these varying reports led to a theory that the Ghazi was actually sunk by accidentally detonating one of it's own mines when it was laying a mine-field. Ghazi presumably had commenced laying mines on 3 December 1971 and at least 2-3 mines were laid in close proximity in a linear pattern 150 meters apart and at a depth of about 30 meters. These mines had a "ship count" mechanism meaning that the mine would arm only after a preset number of ships or submarines had passed overhead. It was also possible that the Rajput's depth charges had caused the mines to arm and was ready to claim their victim, friend or foe. It has been well established that the position where the depth charges were launched was almost exactly where the wreck of the Ghazi was found so damage to the latter by the charges was almost inevitable. The clock recovered from the wreck of the Ghazi had stopped functioning at exactly 00:15 hrs, which was around 10-15 minutes after the charges were launched. However, on interrogation, the divers revealed that the hull had been blown outwards, probably due an internal explosion. One of the causes for this could have been a Hydrogen explosion, which may occur while recharging of the batteries, but if this were the case, the bodies found in the Ghazi would have been charred a lot more. Also, the possibility of an external mine causing the sinking was completely ruled out due to the amount of internal damage suffered and the forward section of the hull being splayed outward. It is more probable that there was an internal fire in the forward area where the torpedoes and mines were stored and near the torpedo tubes that ultimately sealed the fate of the Ghazi.

Good job pronouncing Vishakhapatnam correctly 😂
To confuse and mislead the PNS Gazi, INS Rajput was given orders to maintain a high level of radio communication to give the impression that it was INS Vikrant.INS Rajput detected underwater movements and suspected the presence of a submarine. The ship dropped depth charges in the area where PNS Ghazi was believed to be operating.

I don't see any tea was fantastic comments here by our neighbors 😂😂😂
Operation Trident was an offensive operation launched by the Indian Navy on Pakistan's port city of Karachi during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Operation Trident saw the first use of anti-ship missiles in combat in the region. The operation was conducted on the night of 4-5 December and inflicted heavy damage on Pakistani vessels and facilities. While India suffered no losses, Pakistan lost a minesweeper, a destroyer, a cargo vessel carrying ammunition, and fuel storage tanks in Karachi. Another destroyer was also badly damaged and eventually scrapped. India celebrates its Navy Day annually on 4 December to mark this operation. Trident was followed up by Operation Python three days later.

IMPORTANT TIMELINE IN 1971 WAR
3 December 1971 : Pakistani pre-emptive airstrikes in India.
(What a deadly strike by PAF...with zero casualties and zero jet destroyed/damaged of indian side)
As a result, India declares war against Pakistan
3 to 6 December 1971 : Battle of Chamb; Pakistan attacks and takes over part of southern Kashmir from India.
4 December 1971 : Battle of Longewala; India stops a Pakistani invasion directed at Jaisalmer
(Note : most epic battle of 1971 ..must search about it)
8 December:1971 : Operation Python: Indian naval attack on Karachi, West Pakistan.
11 December 1971 : USS Enterprise is deployed by the US Navy in the Bay of Bengal to intimidate the Indian Navy.
13 December 1971 : Soviet Navy deploys a group of warships to counter Enterprise. The Enterprise moves towards Southeast Asia, averting a confrontation.
16 December 1971 : End of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
Pakistan Army surrenders to Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora of the Indian Army.
(Note : World record was made by Pakistan military. 90000+ Pakistan soldiers surrendered to indian army in Dhaka. It was largest surrender after WW2)
22 December1971 : The provisional government of Bangladesh arrives in Dhaka from exile.
Within 13 Days india defeated Pakistan.
Pakistan was not alone ..many countries supported Pak through Aid, military supplies and weapons, many helped Pakistan by giving them jets and ships
Just like the west doing for Ukraine.
On the other hand india was poor. Only USSR Helped india with weapon supplies.
And Israel… and Pakistan never captured any part of Kashmir at that time
I guess it isn't fair to compare ourselves with ukraine... even at that time, we had an aircraft carrier, anti sub warfare units, a whole airforce, big army, and a kick ass naval branch. We were not poor in terms of units. Although some of our weapons were merely ourdated. Also, ukraine is fighting to maintain it's independence. It's russia who has attacked ukraine, not the other way around. Also, putin says that all ex ussr countries don't have a right to exist. Ukraine was never a part of nato. They just wanted to be a member of EU. Putin simply denies the right of existence to ukraine. That's the whole issue.
@@Integratededucationol ok...
You mean russia is the culprit?
Russia already gave the green light to Ukraine for EU not for the NATO...
It is NATO who's poking russia using Ukraine. Even after knowing that they have neutrality agreement between them.
Why the west is pushing russia into the corner ?
Why NATO is exist? There is no USSR...now.
USSR dissolved the Warsaw pact they made against NATO.
It was not USSR who broke promises of no expansion after Germany's NATO entry.
Ukraine broke the neutrality agreement they had with russia..
Which is an act of war...
Try breaking the Indus water treaty between india Pakistan...and see who things get escalate.
There was nothing deadly about PAF strikes codenamed Operation Changez Khan. Indians suffered light losses. Just a few craters on runways of airfields & bases.
Then Indians retaliated and destroyed PAF jets in PAF air bases in Pakistan.
Indian navy don't play around. Naval warfare is brutal!!
I was literally just reading about this conflict a few hours ago. Then I log on and find this! fantastic!
[whispers] They're always watching.
U got spied
Pak army rape*d millions of Bangladeshi women, killed them, chopped their brea*st and had thrown them in the river. Our river was full of blood and dead bodies. Millions of bangladesis ( east Pakistan) migrated to India and asked India for help, there was a movement in Bangladesh called mukhti behini they fought pak army and asked India for help, our then prime minister called for emergency parliamentary meeting and our opposition supported the govt to help bangladesis and get involved in war. USA, nato, and all European countries supported pak. Pak had better weapons and machinery. In fact USA sent warship to destroy India but it was Russia who came in support of India so USA had to step back and India won the war. 93000 pak soldiers surrender in front of 3000+ indian soldiers ( they had wrong information that we're having more soldiers than them it was completely "art of war")

Good to see a rational individual. Rest in peace to those brave sailors who lost their life defending their nation.
This shows how important large ammunition production will be for militaries in future wars - and in turn - how important it is to choose peace and multilateralism.
India will be able to match its adversaries. It looks like a good decade for Indian influence. Their ASMs are just like the ones that used to be feared during the Cold War. BrahMos I think they call it. It's like the red navy cruisers' missiles. One of those would split a destroyer in half. If India becomes a huge arms exporter to SEA , the PLA will have very limited options. Some countries have already ordered these missiles.
Precise, supersonic, long range, 1000kg of boom and I think they have a system similar to NATO reporting name Sandbox. That was an advanced system that had a Salvo of missiles flying and communicating with each other to select targets autonomously in flight. I might be wrong on that, but it's exactly what you want to sink a flotilla or carrier group
@@Chironex_Fleckeri I think the big factor is that the Chinese officers are chosen for loyalty to the regime, whomever that may be at the moment. Which means it's really loyalty and butt kissing instead of competence. Also a huge amount of corruption.

As an American, I wish we had better diplomatic relations with India. I don't really understand why we are supporting Pakistan instead, but at least we aren't enemies. I find it odd how India has the 'support' of Russia but hates China. India would be a powerful ally, but unfortunately I don't see any sort of 'alliance' happening any time soon.
We are sort of Allies now, atleast against china.
Soviet union supported India at times when no one else was ready to, so we have always had very good relationship with Soviet/Russia.
We don't hate china and had semi decent relation with them untill the 2020 border clashes, in which our soldiers died.
After the 1962 war with china, we signed many treaties with china which both sides generally respected and situation was alright untill 2020.
I'm glad in our partnership with US, it will only grow with time.

As a Pakistani I would like to thank India for teaching us a lesson. For us and our navy it was a kind of Baptism of Fire, Our whole naval doctrine changed after that. :)
They played exceptionally well.
Now what is ur doctrine?
India uses Russian weapon’s & equipment better then Russian military 😂
it was USSR ... who stud by us
Propaganda is bad for your health
@@dirckthedork-knight1201Russia's performance in Ukraine has been awful.
Training buddy it's not weapon it's man behind it Our Spitfire WW2 plane shot down an F86 Sabre during 1965 war
We Indian don't fight wars we play chess on the battlefield 😊

Love these smaller wars/skirmishes videos - would love to see a whole series on the the bush wars in Africa!
Yes, the SA bush war, angola conflict and Rhodesian bush war should be covered.
Looking forward to see the battle of Longewala!
Oh boy, i am ready for this one 😁🇮🇳
The Operations Room videos are so awesome, that I usually click "like" before I start watching them
Task and Purpose Chris loves his mini guns as well. I highly recommend that channel.
Love Task and Purpose
Only 40 minutes late and YES! A wonderful attack for a just cause, you love to see it. Thank You for covering this war as I remember requesting it a while back.
My friend Comdr. Purewal was gunnery officer on one of the missile boats that attacked Karachi harbour. Even today he has named his dog’’Styx’’ in memory of the Russian missiles used that day.
