      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.

      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.

      TBH, we didn't 'crush' them in '65. That was the one point in history where we were at our relative weakest and they at their strongest, militarily. Due to massive eff-ups by their top-brass, they made a real mess of it. Militarily, it was a stalemate, though had the ceasefire not happened, it would've gotten worse fot them. Strategically, of course, they failed at their objectives, and we stayed with status quo, so we won on that count.

    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

      @surajbiradar9827 Před 10 měsíci +10

      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.

    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.

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.

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")

      @surajbiradar9827 Před 10 měsíci +3

      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.

      3 million my ass, no international organisation of repute has ever accepted that Indian claim. None. The actual number is way less than half a million too. If the PAK forces actually managed to kill 3 million Bengalis before they started reacting then Bengalis truly are cowards.

      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.

    My father fought in the 1971 war. The name PNS Hangor brings back memories of the stories he used to tell me. Unfortunately, he passed away five years ago.
    During the war, there were three anti-submarine frigates named Khukri, Kirpan, and Kuthar. Their mission was to eliminate the threat of Hangor.
    However, India's sonar technology had a limited range, which made it challenging to detect the enemy.
    My father served on Kirpan and experienced some interesting incidents:
    Kuthar had some problems and was unable to move. Kirpan was assigned the task of escorting Kuthar back to Mumbai, with Khukri providing support.
    While returning to Bombay (Mumbai), they did detect a submarine. Khukri launched an attack and believed they had successfully hit an enemy submarine, possibly Mangro or Hangor, although it's uncertain. There still isn't proof.
    PNS Hangor experienced air conditioning issues (possibly due to damage), forcing it to surface for repairs. This helped India detect it near DIU, and then it dived back underwater.
    Hangor detected Khukri and Kirpan. Kirpan, the ship my father was on, was the first target. luckily, the torpedo failed to detonate under his ship's keel.
    That's when India came to know of Hangor's position.
    After evading the first torpedo, Kirpan took evasive action. When Hangor fired two more torpedoes, one hit Khukri, causing it to sink, while the other missed Kirpan because they change course.
    My father saw his NDA batchmates who were aboard Khukri drown. He felt helpless and I am sure it haunted him till he was alive.
    Also a fun fact: during Operation Trident, the officers spoke Russian to confuse the Pakistanis.
