India did really well in that war after getting its butt handed to it by Pakistan the first time around. They re-organized and retrained then whipped Pakistan mercilessly. I don’t think an attack on India would have turned out that well for us. I’m glad we didn’t do it.
I’m also glad to hear that I’m wrong about Bangladesh. Its nice when something like that works out.
Nope, that never happened either. Pakistan had a slight edge in the air warfare but it still got it's ass whooped on the ground.....but nothing like 1971. Pakistan army was 700,000 strong and it took only 18 days for them to collapse against India.
“I’m also glad to hear that I’m wrong about Bangladesh. Its nice when something like that works out.”
As poor as Bangladesh is, its still not a terrorist infested nest or a WMD producing shit-hole. Any Bangladeshi Muslim will tell you how grateful they are to India and how the separation from Pakistan was the best thing that ever happened to them.
“India did really well in that war after getting its butt handed to it by Pakistan the first time around.”
The first war between India and Pakistan was in 1948. India and Pakistan scrambled for Kashmir. India ended up with 2/3 of Kashmir and Pakistan got less then a quarter of Kashmir.
In the second war in 1965, Pakistan was far better equipped and well prepared. The still lost the war. India managed to occupy some valuable real estate on Western front. Pakistanis even agreed to Soviet mediation at Tashkent something they would have never agreed to if they had won.
The third war 1971 was complete defeat for Pakistan. They lost more then 2/3 of their military strength and half their country.
I hope you know that the Indian army reached as far as Lahore in 1965 so that’s butt could be handed over to it!! And this was after the Pakis had invaded Kashmir.
