#ThisDayThatYear | 26 May 1999

#OpSafedSagar — the #IndianAirForce’s codename for its air operations during the KargilWar1999 — was launched in support of ground forces under Operation Vijay. It aimed to flush out Pakistani regulars and intruders who had occupied Indian positions along the LoC in the Kargil sector.

This was the first large-scale use of air power in the Kashmir region since the 1971 Indo-Pak War. Never before had an air force been tasked with such high-altitude precision operations in rugged mountainous terrain—making it a watershed moment in military aviation history.

Operation Safed Sagar was a trailblazer in many ways: it saw air power employed in unconventional roles, demonstrated the effectiveness of limited use of air assets in a localised conflict, and shattered the long-held notion that use of air power would inevitably escalate into full-scale war.

The operation not only showcased the versatility and resolve of the #IndianAirForce but also established the deterrent value of calibrated air strikes—even in a low-intensity conflict. It proved that air power could decisively alter the course of battle without crossing international boundaries.

Artillery still relies on manual systems for targeting and intensity, despite advanced software options. Indigenous tech is appreciated, but manual methods remain key.

Artillery is the backbone of conventional warfare and #OpSindoor has proved it once again.
