“We will not survive in any case sir. We have run out of ammunition and I need the bloody fire here right now.” CAPTAIN CARIAPPA

“Roger! Fire shall be upon you in minutes. Take cover if you can. God bless you”.

Bofors come alive.

After a while when Bofors calm down, the paratroopers starts stepping out of the cover one by one. It was difficult to believe that all the 14 of them from 5 PARA have survived.

CAPTAIN CARIAPPA goes to each man & hugs him saying “ Saale tu bhi bach gaya”. Image
On the other side more than 23 bodies of pakis from 33 FRONTIER FORCE were scattered on the slope in front of them.

All this happened on this day in 1999 in #KargilWar.
