With just 100 DOGRA troops, BRIGADIER RAJINDER SINGH defended J&K against 6000 pakis at Uri for four days in 1947.
Had he not been deceived by his own troops, who joined hands with the raiders, there would have been no POK today.
led his men with the battle cry "Raja Ramchandra ki Jai"
to capture TOLOLING TOP at Drass in Kargil.
It was one of the pivotal battle of the #KargilWar.
MAJOR VIVEK GUPTA & men led by him were able to close in with the enemy inspite of heavy artillary and automatic fire.
As soon as they emerged in open they came under multidirectional intense fire. 3 personal of the leading section were hit and the attack was temporarily stalled.
Spark in the eyes of Sudhir Walia was palpable from his childhood only.
While clicking this photo neither parents nor the photographer would have thought that this little boy is going to be the RAMBO of INDIAN ARMY in the coming days.
SQUADRON LEADER AJJAMADA BOPAYYA DEVAYYA flying the Mystere aircraft was intercepted by a Pakistani supersonic F-104 Star-Fighter and DEVAYYA proved that it’s the flying skills & determination that matters more than the superior aircraft.
The paki pilot of F-104 first fired an air-to-air Sidewinder missile, which Squadron Leader Devayya successfully evaded and the missile hit the ground.
However, by virtue of its faster acceleration, the F-104 rapidly closed in on the Mystere and fired a burst of its 20 mm multibarrel cannon and succedded in damaging Squadron Leader Devayya's Mystere.
“Bofors is a medium artillery gun with a killing range of 300 meters. The splinters will go flying on all direction. Chances are that you guys will not survive either.” MAJOR GURPREET MADHOK
