We are hardly complaining about the bofors on this end.
Our guys were gunning down your jawans like shooting fish in barrel till the bofors came.
Pakistan could have easily won Kargil with little more effort put in. Musharraf and Nawaz Sharif did not co-operate much, which resulted in the loss. However, there are brilliant soldier stories from Pakistani side, like the New Tanveer post where 6 Pakistani men took on 250 Indians or another position where 26 men fought with 3 Companies of Indian army, with armor and artillery, longer than expected. These kind of stories were present in 1965 and 1971 too, yet Kargil was a failure overall.
Clinton my ***.
shut up u idiot. log off and go to school.
I recall the poor indian soldiers whimpering like little girls - crying out for their mothers - when we opened fire on their poorly planned frontal assaults. Some of our boys attempted to give them water, risking their own lives, the smell of a thousand latrines as the poor indians were systematically - eaten by dogs, and consumed by maggots.
The smell will never be forgotten, as the vast swarms of beetles and fly's that made it look like some sort of moving carpet, the indian officers - who's name tags could be clearly seen through the scope, who's brains were distributed over the mountain with a head shot.
We still control peaks that can shut down vital enemy highway's and we killed hundreds of soldiers.
From the memoirs of an NLI soldier quoted by a member elsewhere.
Indians are mad. Lolz
The shells for Bofors cost $1000 a piece and there was a shortage of spares due to embargo after the bribery scandal. Indian army had to cannibalise 100 Bofors from around the country just to keep the Kargil guns shelling. Pakistan had all the weaponry and ammo. home-made.
The laser-guided bombs were ineffective, Mi-25 has a ceiling of 12000 feet and Mi-17 had only 31 sorties for the fear of Pakistani SAMs.
There was a lack of protective clothing, surveillance equipment, night vision devices and high-altitude warfare gear; because most money was spent on big ticket items (e.g. Bofors guns and Mi-25 helicopters) which brings big kick-backs.
The 'Occupied' bunkers were small, well-guarded, with difficult approaches and were mined. There were brigade size attacks on bunkers holding only 8 - 10 NLI and Mujaheddins. To fight less than 5 batallions, Indian army brought more than 4 divisions of it's Jawans, with strike forces and heavy artillery . This deployment created a severe strategic imbalance in the offensive capabilities of Indian army anywhere else. Still it was able to re-capture only 14 outposts by force and other 120 had to be vacated because of that B*st*ard Nawaz.
None of the Indian army, UN military observers or US spy satellites were able to detect movements of NLI or Mujaheddins in advance; it was an intelligence fiasco.
Operation Vijay was so successful that after initial thrashings and downing of aircraft, Indian army had to scale back the operations just to keep the morale of Indian forces high.
In the end, Pakistan lost.t.
Of an unknown soldier, quoted as you have just done, we all believe you. Thanks for the enlightenment.
