Abstract

The India–Pakistan War of September 1965 has attracted little attention in the larger body of work on South Asia. Further, almost nothing has been written on the earlier skirmish, in April 1965, between Indian and Pakistani security forces in the Rann-of-Kutch, an uninhabited salt marsh. This article argues that the limited conflict in the Rann, its immediate consequences, and its impact on Pakistani military and civilian leaders were central to Pakistan's consideration of a military solution to the ongoing dispute in Kashmir, which then led to Indian retaliation and the outbreak of war.

It states that the most effective new weapon used in the war is the Soviet SAM6 surface-to-air-missile. It reports that SAM6 batteries have already downed 40 Israeli planes near the Suez Canal. It notes that SAM6 is a solid-fuel rocket that is mounted in a group of three on a tracked vehicle. It further relates that the Israel forces do not have effective countermeasures against SAM6.

Abstract

The Pentagon is preparing to take the next step in developing directed infrared countermeasures systems for its aircraft, but many of those initiatives would not be available in time to deal with the increasingly sophisticated tactics the U.S. forces face in Iraq. The U.S. also is trying to do a better job of disrupting attackers. For instance, Army and Marine patrols are not just trying to protect the perimeter of a base, but also the approach routes aircraft take into an airfield, says U.S. Air Force Vice Chief of Staff General T. Michael Mosley.
