History of 1965 war
The war of 1965 was perhaps one of the most intense wars the two neighbors ever fought. It was also the one that exposed weaknesses in the India's military prowess. Pakistan attacked India in operation code named Gibraltar on August 5, 1965. After initial skirmishes, the first major engagement between the two sides took place on August 14. Following initial advances by India in the northern sector, Pakistani forces moved concentrations near Tithwal, Uri, and Poonch. In a powerful retaliation Indian troops advanced into occupied Kashmir and captured strategic Haji Pir Pass, eight kilometers inside Pakistani territory.
Pakistan then launched Operation Grand slam to take the Akhnoor bridge and cut off the lifeline of supplies to southwest Kashmir. On September 1, Pakistani attack in the southern sector in Punjab inflicted heavy losses on Indian forces. On September 2, India called in air support, which was retaliated by Pakistani air strikes in Kashmir and Punjab.
The war was at a point of stalemate when the UN Security Council unanimously passed a resolution on September 20 that called for a ceasefire. New Delhi and Islamabad accepted the ceasefire, and the war ended on September 23. Indian troops suffered 3,000 casualties, while the Pakistani suffered 3,800. Almost thousand tanks, on either side, were engaged in the war. At the end of it Pakistan lost an estimated 300 tanks, India's losses were 128 tanks.
In the aftermath of the war, Soviet-brokered Tashkent Declaration was signed on January 10, 1966.
