Sorry I got confused between Syria and Libya. Did Libya provided with Mirage-III aircraft then? It is speculated on Indian side that possibly Libya had supplied Mirages as PAF lined up 22 aircraft in a PR exercise after 71 war. US was at least there, Brigadier-Genreal Chuck Yeager’s beechcraft along with one UN plane was destroyed on Islamabad airport. Chinese never came to help, neither in 65 not in 71:), US has sent a naval strike force led by USS Enterprise which reached Bay of Bengal by 11 Dec as far as I remember.
