those were great days..we shot one of those jets down and caught an abhinandan back then as well which we returned .. however indians were savvy enough back then not make his retrieval look like like a victory..
they did..but...a year later... when kargil was over and that too not in kargil section ..they sneaked in from Turtuk end and captured a peak 5310 that had little relevance and they lost one jawan who fell in a crevice.. till date they are sitting their wondering if this was a good move or not as the lost jawans's sacrifice has not been officially recognized, the whole point of this action was to avenge 5353 however they couldnt get any recognition from their own people as 5310 was never claimed by either sides to begin with..The thing is they cant dwarf the importance of 5353 which is right next to a main artery and PAksitan can target it again anytime in future, however 5310 is right next to a no roads nothing but just a 'nullah'Peak Point 5310 located inside Pakistani side of Line of Control is still under Indian control along with Mount Anzabar and several more peaks like Point 5770 located inside Pakistani territory in Qamar sector.
