Why is the UK listed? The Box should only be kept with the 3 powers, Soviets, US and Chinese. The UK i understand were selling weapons to both India and Pakistan, it did not support a party against another, certainly not Pakistan against its own insurgency either. I don't think mere sale of weapons was this particular article's rule precedent policy for listing a country in the support by section.

This is an overly complex sentence that incorrectly states that Pakistan achieved air supremacy before surrender: "The subsequent Indo-Pakistani War involved fighting on two fronts; with air supremacy achieved in the eastern theatre, and the rapid advance of the Allied Forces of Mukti Bahini and the Indian military, Pakistan surrendered in Dhaka on 16 December 1971, in what remains to date the largest surrender of armed personnel since the Second World War."

Minimal change suggestion: "The subsequent Indo-Pakistani War involved fighting on two fronts. With air supremacy achieved in the eastern theatre, the Allied Forces of Mukti Bahini and the Indian military rapidly advanced. Pakistan surrendered in Dhaka on 16 December 1971, in what remains to date the largest surrender of armed personnel since the Second World War." Dunnpm (talk) 12:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
