    Get it right. The G8 are: France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Japan, United States, Canada, and Russia. I don't see China or Australia in the list. They are attending by invitation only.

    I think I lost a message along the line. You mentioned the Flinders Ranges. Yes I have been through there. It is a very lovely place. You just don’t go walkabout in the summer there. To enjoy the Flinders you have to spend several weeks just moving from place to place and camping out. There...

    1965 War - The complete story

    Leave his frillies alone Ok. :tsk: (:lol:) With respect to 65, Kishangarh Fort, these might be interesting. Also leave more questions re 71, Battle of Longewala, as well. I realise there are other blatant bungles for the 71 venture but experience from 65 should have taught some one in the...

    1965 War - The complete story

    Capture of Kishangarh Fort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia With respect to the Indian force disposition this gives a reasonable indication. But it seems to imply only the southern region. Which this History document suggest was a separate command from the northern section of the Bugle...

    'Pak leaders do not have political steel in their backbone':Levin

    Kindly have a bit more respect. The procedure was altered due to the media making a circus out of this. It has hurt some of the families very badly. There have been other issues as well during the funeral/burial services. There is more to this specific matter than you tasteless swipe.

    1965 War - The complete story

    The USSR used their terrain wonderfully as a force multiplier when Hitler attacked in Op Barbarossa. They drew him in , stretching his logistics beyond break point, let the weather take over & decimated the attacker at their own time & place of choosing. Terrain is useful and yes in a...

    1965 War - The complete story

    What I was pointing out was that the Indian intent was ill conceived. As is obvious the south had more development and population, hence needed a degree of protection. It also had the road and rail links to Pakistan. But it still could not be protected enough from fast raiding parties from...

    No kidding a sight seeing horse is a real pain. You can not tie them up in the float because the spend ages untying the lead rope and then keep twisting and turning to look out the windows. Some times it simpler to back a horse in so they look out the back. Scars the sh1t out of people following...

    Small towns, nice places but you parents get to hear about everything you did wrong before you get home. Small country towns do have benefits even now. But you have to go to big places eg Sydney for heavy medical issues. In my case I have to travel 400Km just for an endurance competition as...

    Saudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran

    Stop it. :lol:You are making me laugh too much. :rofl: 1. Saudi Arabia has not given either covertly or overtly permission for Israel to fly in its air space for a military attack on Iran. Why should Israel use Saudi Air space when Iraq is still under US occupation? Iraq has it own duly...

    Saudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran

    I do just love this thread.. :rofl: It has so much enlightenment :lol: 1. Saudi Arabia has not given either covertly or overtly permission for Israel to fly in its air space for a military attack on Iran. 2. Biden did not give a green light for an Israel attack. That is the way the media...

    1965 War - The complete story

    No he said only the RAC were in that location. This is a somewhat para military unit and the implication is that this sector was of small importance to the Indian military. If you read the BR reference I mentioned you will notice rather quickly the Indians were having problems with...

    Passed through but not hung about there. The river should have a bit of water in it at present but most are close to dry for a lot of the year lately. So if you were that close to the river back then I gather you had a few floods in the back door?

    1965 War - The complete story

    I knew that re the fort. As a structure it has no significence but it referes to the location. I was looking more at the specific details of this and the rest of the fighting within that region.

    Zob: IN terms of the deployable forces what you list is in fact the total deployable forces for the complete region. It is not limited to this specific battle. Note in the Wikipedia page these are listed under "Sindh-Rajasthan Operations". hence the Indian forces were spread as was the...
