#LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 Capt Neikezhakuo Kenguruse, #MahaVirChakra (P) 2 RAJ RIF & his supreme sacrifice #OnThisDay 28 June 1999 at #Tololing

The gallant #IndianBrave was only 25 yrs old. #OpVijay

In 1999, as the #Kargil conflict started, Capt Kenguruse was a junior commander with 2nd Battalion The #RajputanaRifles. For his determination and prowess, he was made the lead commander of the #GhatakPlatoon of his unit.

On 28 June night, Capt. Kenguruse’s platoon was given the responsibility of taking out a strategic machine gun post held by the enemy on a cliff face, the Black Rock. Heavy gun fire from this position had been hindering the battalion’s progress in the sector for days.

Combat or Peace : We are on our Way "I look for you, even if I cant see you "
The day was 27 May, 1999. The Aircrew Examining Board was in the unit & usual exam time activity was on. We were just getting to know of some action happening in #Kargil

, lack of internet & intranet meant there was only little information of what was happening in other sector. Around mid-morning, my Commanding Officer walked up in the crew room. He declared “There has been an ejection in Kargil sector, Flt Lt Nachiketa has ejected.

We need to launch a SAR [Search and Rescue] ." My flight Commander Sqn Ldr Sachdeva, looked at me and I dashed to tell maintenance guys to prepare the aircraft. Quick refueling, coordinating flight plan, rechecking map etc & we were on course to Kargil within 15 minutes

We didn't know better then. As we celebrated cricket, Gen @P_Musharraf launched #Pak Army into #Kargil. Dec 18, 1999 Capt Nadeem & L/NK Laikjaan & others were sent on reconnaissance patrols. We gave Pak cricketers a standing ovation, Pak Army firmed up defences on Kargil heights

530 Indian families lost a son, a brother, a husband, a soldier in the #Kargil war. In the months preceding Kargil, #Lahore bus journey was hailed as a game changer that would herald an era of peace. Pak sent one team to Chepauk, another with Assault rifles & Arty guns to Kargil.

We could have been fooled then but now we have access to information even from #Pakistan. The architects of the plan Gen Musharraf, Lt Gen Mohd Aziz Khan (CGS), Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmed (X Corps Cdr) & executed by Maj Gen Javed Hasan, (FCNA) & Brig Nusrat Sial (62 Bde Cdr) #FactsFirst

२१ वर्षांपूर्वी बरोबर आजच्याच दिवशी म्हणजेच २६ जुलै १९९९ रोजी भारताने पाकिस्तानी सैन्याच्या ताब्यात असलेले अखेरचे भारतीय ठाणे पुन्हा काबीज केले आणि #कारगिल युद्धात विजय मिळवला. त्यामुळेच २६ जुलै हा कारगिल #विजय दिवस म्हणून साजरा केला जातो.

सुमारे १६ ते १८ हजार फुटांवर साधारण ६० दिवस हे युद्ध चालले. भारताने या युद्धाला #ऑपरेशनविजय असे सांकेतिक नाव दिले होते. तर पाकिस्तानने यालाच #ऑपरेशनबद्र असे संबोधले.

#Pakistan targeted India with impunity because Indian leadership was told they are a nuclear weapon state India cannot respond. A strong pro Pak lobby played the Pak game of dialogue despite terror for peace in the sub continent. Uninterrupted & uninterruptible dialogue tamasha.

@narendramodi

So even after 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks India did not hit back, resulting in more terror attacks. ISI tested PM @narendramodi's resolve too. Terror attacks on our consulate in Afghanistan & strikes at Pathankot, Gurdaspur... Uri & Pulwama resulted in #Surgicalstrikes & #Balakot

Agree #Kargil was what you can call watershed moment for #Pakistan. Nation went through hell to get Nukes (economic exclusion from global system) so we can finally achieve closure on any future war while maintaining relevance for dialogue/negotiations with bigger India 1/3

All was lost in another half cooked & planned #OpGibraltar 2.0. It also exposed why world was right to not let Pakistan get nukes. COAS initiating this large scale operation without informing sitting govt & then stupidly calling from Beijing to see how’s govt is holding up. 2/3

🇮🇳 appeared as responsible state whose nuclear program was always stated as a counterweight to 🇨🇳an requirement to be an aspiring big power.🇵🇰 appeared as a country which will always start trouble if it can get away under umbrella of SEATO/CENTO/Soviet-Afghan conflict or Nuke 3/3

3/risk Contrast this with Bangladesh, where we took risks to achieve Strategic victory. Tying your own hands behind back & sacrificing soldiers, is not national risk taking, killing other side's aggressing Jehadis & soldiers is risk taking(it requires frgn support,funds & planing

काश्मीरला लडाखशी जोडणाऱ्या या एकमेव रस्त्यावर ताबा मिळविण्याचा पाकिस्तानचा उद्देश होता. ती सामरिकदृष्ट्या मोठी आघाडी ठरली असती. त्यासाठीच पाक लष्कराचे तत्कालिन प्रमुख जनरल #मुशर्रफ यांनी सुमारे ५० हजार सैनिक घुसखोरांच्या वेषात भारतीय हद्दीत धाडले

As always he speaks from the heart. #Kargil war hero #MVC winner Col Sonam Wangchuk tells me if he had a weapon & CO was being targeted he would have used it, even if as a club. Unless own troops were completely overwhelmed by numerically more Chinese soldiers. On #IndiaFirst

Many gaps in assessment since we don't have the full picture. On a narrow ledge in close quarter combat in pitch dark how do you fire a weapon without being sure it won't hit one of your own brothers-in-arms. Will army decide or Netas & analysts about tactical operations.

One assessment of more Chinese casualties at #Galwan is that when more troops rushed on the ledge & it gave way, more of theirs went crashing down into the freezing river. All of ours are accounted for are all of theirs accounted for too from the nullah?Or #PLA couldn't care less

A beautiful scene that belies the lack of modern High calibre #artilleryguns in the #IndianArmy & serves as a reminder that 21 years after the Field #artillery Rationalization plan was drafed to remedy deficiencies exposed during #Kargil they remain diminished.
Thread below

https://twitter.com/Amitraaz/status/1269964230460989440

The FARP projection envisaged the acquisition of around 3000 #artillery pieces which were subdivided into 814 truck-mounted guns, 1,580 towed guns, 100 tracked self-propelled guns, 180 wheeled self-propelled guns and 145 ultra-light howitzers.
Some 2819 guns in all.

@BAESystemsInc

Out of this projected requirement only the requirement for ULWH ( Ultra light weight howitzers has been addressed with the ongoing acquisition of 145 @BAESystemsInc @MahindraRise M777 155/39 guns.
There is some chatter on an additional 290 gun requirement that remains open.

1/n) 8 years ago on 7 April 2012, the #PakistanArmy suffered heavy losses when an avalanche struck the Gayari Camp in the Bilafond Glacier

The camp was a major logistic base for that sector & housed ~140 people. At that time elements of 6th Northern Light Infantry of #Pakistan

2/n) was stationed there. The camp had a major road which connected to Goma, it had helipads, quite a few buildings to support a major logistics base and nearby gun placements too.. it was on the Gayari river and was considered safe..

The avalanche which struck from the west of the camp buried it under 70 ft of snow and rocks.. there was nothing left of the camp as can be seen in this image.. and no survivors..

The loss of the camp was a setback to the Pakistani position in that area..
