The Battle of Longewala was one of the first major battles in the Western Sector during the #IndoPakWar71 fought between assaulting Pakistan and India at Longewala, in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan. Major Kuldip Singh Chandpuri of Punjab Regiment and his gallant action left an indelible mark in this epic battle fought in the deserts of Rajasthan. He ensured that all his assets were correctly deployed and made the most use of his strong defensive position, and weaknesses created by errors in enemy tactics. He was also fortunate in that an Indian Air Force Forward Air Controller was able to secure and direct aircraft in support of the post’s defences until reinforcements arrived later. Such was the coordinated assault on the Enemy tanks that they lay humbled close to the International Boundary overpowered by accurate fire of RCL and fighter Aircrafts of the #IndianAirForce.
