Point being, whichever number you choose to believe, the casualties of the force attempting to capture well defended heights are going to be higher than the casualties of the force defending from the heights, so if the PA lost 4000 troops, imagine the losses on the Indian side.No sir. I am quoting your Prime Minister of the time Kargil happened. Linked that news item as well. Indian count was closer to 600 or so. And most of Pakistani deaths were due to Mirage 2000 sorties and post their supply lines were cut and when in the interim, Pakistan all but abandoned them
The Mirage sorties were directed at the peaks - you are not going to find 4 thousand soldiers camped out on the peaks, or for that matter running a "daisy chain" of a supply line just waiting to be bombed by the opposition, especially when the PA still (as the subject of the thread shows) controlled peaks and territory from which to attack Indian Army positions.
