Kargil-1999
|
I was shocked to read this book.Although, Truth is supposed to be the first casualty in war but this was really silly.After 5 years one should become honest.Iam no fan of Pakistan army but here are the facts:
1-It was one of the most brilliant tactical high altitudes operations of all times.Even Indian own post war inquiry admitted that 'after all our war planning we were totally surprised'.
2-Pakistan Army captured nearly 134 posts and according to neutral observers till the time Clinton intervened, Indians had taken back about 10 of these posts.
3-Most importantly the posts that Indians recaptured were the frontal ones meaning where artillery could have direct hits and have an impact, where as remaining 110+ plus were at the rear where this decisive Indian strength was useless.
4-The role of President Clinton has not really been correctly highlightened in this book.The real fact is that it was HIS personal intervention that in the end turned the tables.It seems that other geo political considerations such as Pak. support of Taliban etc. played a decisive role in ensuring U.S mega pressure on Poor Nawaz Sharif.
5-In short, from pure military point of view it was a super move by Pakistan Army.I have checked from number of global sources and and just a fraction of NLI was hit.Their bravery at those heights was unbelievable as was the professionalism of SSG commandoes, perhaps the best high altitude fighters in the world.
6-However, the limitations were equally glaring regarding poor understanding of U.S response and other players intervention. |
