Id give a hats off to the IAF pilots too, according to an account the SOP was a hard pull up immediately after the run to avoid crossing the LOC..even a few seconds delay led to inadvertent crossing, But mistakes are made in war and people pay for it with their lives.

your comment is a farce

the only farce entity in this war was our Prime Minister who was more worried about his private business deals in india and later on lost the bottle and claimed he didnt know anything

just like he didnt know about Karachi Operation
just like he didnt know about PMLn attack on Supreme courts
just like he didnt know about denaying the Gen Musharaf's Plane from landing

I am sorry but you have to be a solider to understand this war. since you are not your comment is as imporant as the LSE report on Pakistan's ISI and its previous report about the WMDs in Iraq.

enjoy your tea "mate"

^^ i agree 100%
Specially, i don't see the reason for freeing the captive pilot, while indians refused to receive him!!!
His price was just one phot shoot with Clinton and nothing more.
I have no doubt American administration too have no respect for such traitors of nation... although they meet and greet such parasites just for the better interests of their own nation and state.

Hi,

It took 12 years for it to come out---kargil was indeed a victory for the millitary and a massive failure at the political end.

I am sorry but you have to be a solider to understand this war.

A war where your glorious military decided to disown all its soldiers on the peaks by claiming they were mujahids and not related to the army.

By going against the mood of the international community, your glorious military leader was very effective in isolating your nation among the world community. Your army gave the enemy a carte blanche to escalate the war at a point of their choosing with the sympathies of the world community. The war was thrust on your country without any real provocation especially at a time where your Air force was severely a lack of spares and would have been hard put to put up a decent resistance.

Your military effectively jepordised your country's well being by getting involved in a war without taking the country's elected government into confidence. Your politicians probably had no other option but to withdraw. You need to seriously need to ask yourself about who was responsible in putting your country in that situation.

If you really shot down..then well done.but we won the war.

I think you were born after kargil war. Else you would have known Kargil operation was conducted by your army keeping your political leadership in dark. (PMs of India and Pakistan were perhaps busy in Delhi-Lahore bus journey)

Two country faced mutual destruction- you have to give credit to your army for that. Elected Government of Pakistan avoid escalation of tension by ordering pulling out of troops from Kargil- you must blame them for that...

i was in azad kashmir during the kargil war. Non of it was a secret, every one knew what was going on, including the Prime minister. If i a 5 year old at that time knew what was going on how come the prime minister of pakistan didnt know what was going on. PML-N claming that they knew nothing about this operation is the biggest joke in the world.

this conflict was in my opinion was a victory in the initial stages because the pakistani army was able to pull it off and caught the indian intelligence by complete suprise. However in the end this opertation was a failuer beause the pakistani side weren't able to hold the positions they had captured.
For the indian side it was a failuer in the initial stages because of the intelliange fauiler. in the later stages however it was a complete succes because they were able to retake all the lost territory despite the fact that the pakistan army held the high ground. having the advantage of high ground is very important in mountain warfare, even more so at kargil. For this reason the indian ability to retake the lost bases was even more impressive.

I agree it was a failure for Indian military intelligence. And definately the casualties for Indian Army would have been much more if Pak troops and militants remained on their positions. Pulling out of Pak troops save many lives from both sides not only in Kargil but in other sectors also (which would have opened if regaining control in Kargil proved difficult). Whoever has planned Kargil for Pakistan never calculated the outcomes. It was a failure from begining. I dont know why Mastan Khan blames political leadership. Their conditions was like the captain whose bowler was getting wikets only in No Balls.

I guess it was a deliberate action to pull out the forces from those points cause military wants indian army to be up there,,YYYYYY
there is a lot of money spend by indians to stay there..

The Indian armed forces does not get the same level of freedom as they should be getting and still they fight for the country. Until recently their needs were never addressed. When people take into account the results they should take everything into account. In Kargil it was found that adversaries had much better winter gears.
