1965 Indo-Pak War was a crucial point in the annals of Military History of India. It was a turning point for the Defence Forces thinking and preparedness. The Indian Air Force imbibed the lessons of 1965 war in full earnest, which resulted in telling successes in 1971 India-Pakistan War. It brought out the need for cohesive and amalgamated strategies in terms of equipment and resources. Towards acknowledging the contribution of Air Veterans who participated in 1965 Indo-Pak War, a Seminar on the “Role of Units under Maintenance Command in conduct of 1965 Operations” under the aegis of Headquarters Maintenance Command is planned to be held on 7th August 2015 at Base Repair Depot, Air Force Station, Pune.
