To relieve pressure on the southern front, Pakistan decided to use its navy in the war by launching a quick strike on Indian coast. The primary objective of the attack ostensibly was to destroy the radar station at Dwarka which Pakistani Naval intelligence believed had a Huff-Duff beacon to guide Indian bombers. Pakistani high command also hoped to divert the operations of the Indian Air Force away from the north. ==Objectives== The mission objectives of Pakistan Navy are listed below: * To draw heavy enemy units out of Bombay for the submarine PNS Ghazi to attack. * To destroy the radar installation at Dwarka. * To lower Indian morale. * To divert Indian Air Force effort away from the north. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operation Dwarka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
