Indian artillery firing at Pakistani positions

Artillery played a major role in the Kargil War. Indian forces heavily shelled Pakistani positions located in the peaks of the mountains as well as supply lines into Kargil

The mountains of Kargil presented an extremely dangerous and unforgiving battlefield with freezing temperatures during the summer months. Adding to the difficult terrain and weather, both sides had to deal with logistical nightmare to resupply their troops.
