Hi blogman, I rely on myself as I have witnessed that war period from the first to the last day. I do not blame you for not relying on the facts I have given. I thought, PERHAPS you may believe in wikipedia, if not in me. So I referred it to you. If you think, that everything in the world including the wikipedia is unreliable, I cannot argue with you. I have nothing except my word to give in support of the information I have given because I KNOW that what I said are facts. I must tell you that it was a headline in almost all Indian newspapers when an American aircraft carrier was sent to help us. And only then the chinese started withdrawing. I have personally read those news. Of course, I have no reason to disbelieve you about Russian T64 tanks having pressurized the chinese. It may be one of the factors, but may not be the only one. However, I do not remember to have read such a news then about T 64 tanks; but I am confident about the information I have given. Air forces were not used in that war by both the sides. And the air support offered by the USA made the difference & only then and the chinese withdrew.India-US relations were not that bad then. They deteriorated after Kennedy.
