In 1998, India carried out nuclear tests and a few days later, Pakistan
3
responded by more nuclear tests giving both countries nuclear deterrence
capability, although India had exploded three hydrogen bombs which
Pakistan lacks. Diplomatic tension ceased after the Lahore Summit was
held in 1999.The sense of optimism was short-lived, however, since mid-
1999 Pakistani paramilitary forces and Kashmiri insurgents captured
deserted, but strategic, Himalayan heights in the Kargil district of India.
These had been vacated by the Indian army during the onset of the
inhospitable winter and were supposed to reoccupy in spring. Once the
scale of the Pakistani incursion was realised, the Indian Army quickly
mobilized about 200,000 troops and Operation Vijay was launched.
Battle of Tololing - The Battle of Tololing, was one of the pivotal battles in
the kargil war between Indian Armed forces and troops from Northern Light
Infantry who were aided by other Pakistan irregulars in 1999. Tololing is a
dominating feature overlooking Srinagar-Leh (NH1D) and was vital link. The
terrain was such that frontal attacks had to be launched which resulted in
heavy causalities. The three week assault finally culminated with India
taking control of the peak and changing the course of the war. 23 Indian
soldiers were kil ed in the final assault, resulting in one of the costliest battle
of the entire war. Other assaults, slowly tilted the combat in India's favour.
Never the less, some of the posts put up stiff resistance, including Tiger Hill
(Point5140) that fell only later in the war.
The Indian Army mounted some direct frontal ground assaults which were
slow and took a heavy toll given the steep ascent that had to be made on
peaks as high as 18,000 feet (5,500m). Two months into the conflict, Indian
troops had slowly retaken most of the ridges they had lost; according to
official count, an estimated 75%?80% of the intruded area and nearly all
high ground was back under Indian control. On 4 July 1999, Pakistan's
Prime Minister Sharif agreed to withdraw Pakistani troops under US
pressure and the fighting came to a gradual halt, but some Pakistani forces
remained in positions on the Indian side of the LOC.
The Indian Army launched its final attacks in the last week of July; as soon
as the Drass sub sector had been cleared of Pakistani forces, the fighting
ceased on 26 July. 26 July has since been marked as `Kargil Vijay Diwas'
(Kargil Victory Day) in India. By the end of the war,India had resumed
control of al territory south and east of the Line of Control, as was
established in July 1972 as per the Shimla Accord.

measures 6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Protractors and angle gages
measure the angle between two surfaces of a part or assembly.
A protractor uses units cal ed degrees to measure angles. A protractor can
measure angles starting from the left or from the right. It measures from
0 to 180 degrees. The Service Protractor helps in finding the own position
on the Map and also the distance with the help of map.

Darkness had just fal en on the evening of 3rd December 1971 when air
4
raid alert was sounded at 6 PM in most of the cities in India. With the
sounding of siren al lights went off. The cities were plunged into darkness.
The AIR then revealed the unfortunate incident of unprovoked aggression
by Pakistan.
The Pakistani Air Force and ground troops fol owing the Israeli type pre-
emptive strike had launched a massive attack on the Western front
stretching from Jammu & Kashmir to Rajasthan. In addition to air raids by
the Pakistani Air Force the ground forces also launched a massive attack
on our border posts. Air Defence Guns and Knats went blazing and ensured
03 of Pakistanis Sabre jets were shot down. Gnats and MiG-21s,
demonstrated the superiority of IAF pilots. The MiG-21 was highly effective
in short range, precision attacks which was amply demonstrated while
carrying out attacks against key command centers in the capital Dacca
itself. It was in the Western theatre that the MiG-21 was employed in its
primary task, that of air defence, escort and interception. Deployed at all the
major air bases, the MiG-21FLs mounted hundreds of combat air patrol
sorties over Vital Points (VP) and Vital Areas (VA), flew escort missions for
bombers and were continuously scrambled to intercept hostile intruders.
Flying Officer NirmalJit Singh Sekhon, flying Gnat with No 18 Squadron
from Srinagar, was posthumously awarded the ParamVir Chakra.

Operation `SafedSagar' was the code name assigned to the Indian Air
Force's strike to support the Ground troops during Operation Vijay that was
aimed to flush out Regular and Irregular troops of the Pakistani Army from
Indian Positions in the Kargil sector along the Line of Control. It was the first
large scale use of air power in the Jammu and Kashmir region since the
Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
Initial infiltrations were noticed in Kargil in early May, 1999. The Indian Air
Force (IAF) was first approached to provide air support on 11 May. On 21
May a Canberra on a reconnaissance mission was hit by ground fire. The
flight returned to base on one engine. On 25 May, the Cabinet Committee
on Security authorized the IAF to mount attacks on the infiltrators without
crossing the LoC On 26 May, the go-ahead was given and the IAF started
its strike role tasks. Flying from the Indian airfields of Srinagar, Avantipur
and Adampur, ground attack aircraft MiG-21s, MiG-23s, MiG-27s, Jaguars
and the Mirage 2000 struck insurgent positions.
The first strikes were launched on the 26 May, when the Indian Air Force
struck infiltrator positions with fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships. The
initial strikes saw MiG-27s carrying out offensive sorties, with MiG-21s and
(later) MiG-29s providing fighter cover. Mi-17 gunships were also deployed
in the Tololing sector. On 30 May, the Indian Air Force cal ed into operation
the Mirage 2000 which was deemed the best aircraft capable of optimum
performance under the conditions of high altitude in the zone of conflict.
Armed with Laser Guided Bombs (LGB) the Mirages repeatedly struck
enemy positions, destroying Logistics and resupply capability of the
infiltrators.
