How Tiger Hill And Tololing Peaks Were Captured Against All Odds
Вставка

- In April-early May 1999, Col. Khushal Thakur, Commanding officer of 18 Grenadiers, deployed in Kashmir Valley, had gone on annual leave when the unit was ordered to move into the Kargil-Dras sector as the inputs about intrusions by Pakistani forces started getting alarming by the day. As part of the 56 Brigade (belonging to 8 Mountain Division), the unit under the leadership of its second-in-command Lt Col. R. Vishwanathan, the unit moved to Dras and was told to evict 'some' Pakistani intruders sitting atop the Tololing peak and Point 4590. Days after the battalion had reached Dras, Col Thakur (who had by then cut short his leave), made the first recce of the area even as ammunition and other stores were being dumped along the Bhimbat nallah.
In his assessment, there were more than half a dozen terrorists, as was initially thought. The earlier battalion had been unable to make much progress and every time a patrol approached the peak, it came under intense fire. Thakur surmised it was a professional and well-trained force, well armed and well-trained was perched at the top and was pinning down any Indian assault. He wanted more time and more firepower before launching an attack. But the Brigade HQ and higher the senior officers were getting impatient and tried to put pressure on 18 Grenadiers. Thakur and his Vishwanathan had meanwhile moved up to be near the attacking force and provide leadership.
Despite their best efforts however, success was proving to be elusive. At one point, an angry and desperate brigade commander Brig Amar Aul of 56 Brigade told Thakur to hand over the command of the battalion to his second-in-command Vishwanathan. A fine officer that he was, Vishwanathan refused, saying he could not do any better than what Thakur was doing. Shortly after this incident, 18 Grenadiers did manage to help 2 Raj Rif in gaining the first significant victory in the Kargil war but at considerable cost. Thakur saw Vishwanathan die in his lap and was witness to so many of his men and JCOs sacrificing their lives. A month later, 18 Grenadiers also recaptured Tiger Hill.
Now, a quarter century later, standing at the base of the Tololing peak and in the shadow of Tiger Hill, Thakur, who later commanded the very Brigade and retired as a Brigadier, recalls those difficult days in this conversation, done mostly in Hindi. Guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
This video deserves million of veiws but our youth is busy in cringe reel culture
Salute for the fallen heroes ❤🇮🇳
💯

Koi Nahi Sir
We all have our special army . We all are special.
Absolutely true!
Isiliye To Ham do tihai Desh Ho chuke hain aur Hamare Desh per saikdon Bar hamle Ho chuke hain
Back in time in 1999 when Indians were busy watching Cricket World Cup our Brave Soldiers were fighting Kargil war. Its sad today's youth forget those things. Its time to recollect thise memiries as India is once more on the verge of another great war more dangerous than previous war.
My Salute to our super fighters in Kargil who give us strength to face any trouble insude and outsude of our country 🙏💪✌✋👍
yeah, shameful current gen doesnt know about it
Great sir, both you explained the war like situations of Tololing and Tiger hill.
I was in 13 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles at that of war . Thanks for reminding me allthe topographic features of Dras sector. सभी कारगिल शहीदों को विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि एवं शत् शत् नमन। और सभी कारगिल वारियर्स को भी शत् शत् नमन और जय हिन्द।
Todoling is satrting of victory 🙏
सभी शहिद वीरोंको भावपूर्ण आदरांजली जयहिंद जय जवान मैं भी द्रास और कारगिल मे १९८५ से १९८८ मे पोस्टेड था
I am trying to imagine the feelings Brig Kushal Thakur might have been having in his heart when he went to the area where they made their base camp back in 1999.
भारत के सपूतों की बहादुरी के किस्से सुनकर सीना गर्व से फूल जाता है। जय हिंद।
This documentary should be shared more and more.

Hats off for the video of valor and sacrifice on the week of op VIJAY
कारगिल में शहीद भारत के शेरों को मेरा सत सत नमन😢😢🙏🙏।।बिना सुविधा के क्या लड़े थे वो शेर आज भी रोगठे खड़े हो जाते है कारगिल युद्ध की एक एक कहानी सुन के।।। भारत पर कोई कब्जा नही सकता जब तक देश पर मर मिटने का ऐसा जज्बा है देश की सेना का❤❤

Our soldiers , the real heroes , the real brave hearts still capture those hills as they never retreated and never gave up the fight and they are still there, buried in the soil with all their brave glory, still holding the tiger hill under their feet. Salute to cap. Ammar Hussain, capt. Farhat Haseeb Haider, col sher khan, maj. sohail Arif, cap. Sajid Hussain, maj wahab, brig. Anwari and all our brave hearts. May Allah accept their shahadat and raise their ranks in jannah.
I have one observation. Feel free to comment if I am wrong. Why is there no mention of 2nd Rajputana Rifles led by Col. M.B. Ravindranath? They were crucial towards the capture of this peak and Three Pimples. Without them, Tololing would have taken more time, more blood.
This is not done.
Correct. 2 Raj Rif - Knoll - Tololing major role.
This is because he was the CO of 18 grenadiers...that's why he is talking of his unit..
If would have been some senior cdr...he would have talked about all units participating in this ops
1 Naga regiment was also involved in this mission. But hardly talk about them.
@@sunilrana7114 still not an excuse to steal all the thunder.
They have made a separate video about them. Watch the entire 1 hour documentary
Jai Hind Saab...
You preserved your Himachal accent 😊

Great video, jai hind Indian Army
14:11 generals sab chotte aur nikamme hote hai….
Indeed indian army is proffesional.being pakistani iam saying and i mean it..
Goosebumps agaya sir.
Sad to see many of our war heroes were not rewarded due promotions & sacked. Those sitting in AC offices enjoyed the cherry on top .
Tololing was the mother of all battles.❤
Sir purane officer apne jawan ke lie jan de dete the bo apni batalian se bahut pyar krte the
गोखले सर क्या आपने 13 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles की और हमारे तत्कालीन कमांडिंग ऑफिसर वाई के जोशी से संबंधित बनाई हो तो कृपया शेयर कीजिएगा। बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद कारगिल युद्ध की यादें 25 साल बाद याद कराने के लिए। जय हिन्द और जय हिन्द की सेना।

Those who fought and sacrificed have not been promoted and those who should have been punished got promoted. 😢😢

JAI HIND
Fantastic documentary with old amazing pictures. What a fascinating and Chaotic war it was
पत्रकार महोदय यह हमारी भारतीय सेना के सेना के अधिकारी ही नहीं नेतृत्व करता भी है और यह कभी भी अपने सीनियर्स की बुराई नहीं करते उनका हर हालत में सम्मान करते हैं आदेश अच्छा ना लगे तो चुप रहते हैं पत्रकार महोदय यह सिविल के नेता और सिविल के अधिकारी नहीं जो एक दूसरे की चुगली जाती करके अपना उल्लू सिद्ध करते हैं आप कभी भी कुछ भी बोल कर देख लीजिए हमेशा एक्शन अधिकारी बिल्कुल हमेशा ही अपने सीनियर को सही ठहरेआएगा
It’s awesome video about Kargil War but you miss MVC Major Vivek Gupta(Martyred)
Army lovers ❤❤
Salute ❤
Saluting the heroes of Kargil war,martyrs of Indian army.govt of india made the mistake by cutting the deployment of army,in J&k,fr which we had to pay heavy penalty in the recent past,where big no of our jawans were killed by terrorists,very,very sad,if the govt,can't recruit more than the retired no.atleast shud recruit eqal no.i believe every year 60k army gt retired ,but only 40k recruited.
Don,t interpret when some army officer tell us about kargil war and also he is part of kargil war.😊
There was also 1 Naga regiment involved in this mission.
Kushal sahab ke sath Sarkar Ne Anyay Kiya
Winner of tololing - 2 RAJPUTANA RIFLES
Sir, Bofors guns were introduced very late in kargil war ?
BUT why Anti aircraft guns were not used ?
भाई एंटी एयरक्राफ्ट गन एयरक्राफ्ट के काम आती है और पाकिस्तानियों ने अपनी वायुसेना का प्रयोग नहीं किया था तो जरूरत नहीं पड़ी
@@kamleshyadav9803 kamlesh ji,
Anti aircraft guns like L 70 , Zu 23 aur bhi bahut Indian army ke pass tha 1999 kargil ke samay.
( Patriot program mey dekha jabardast kam karta hai - muje laga phar ki ladrai mey istemaal kar saktey thay.)
Yes I have heard from Brig Davinder singh’s video that Pakistani troops used Anti air craft guns as artillery.
@@kamleshyadav9803anti aircraft guns artillery ki traah bhi use hote hain
@@RajuRaj-if3oq भाई होने को तो बहुत से थे। बोफोर्स ही ले आते टाइम पर। पर किसी को पता ही नही था ना की है कोन और कितनी संख्या में है। बोफोर्स भी बाद में लाए है जब पता लगा की ये तो बड़ी संख्या में है और अच्छी खासी पोजीशन कब्जा कर रखे है। शुरुआत में तो पेट्रोलिंग पार्टीज भी कुछ जिहादियों के नाम पर गई थी। पता होता की इतना कुछ है तो क्या पता ले ही आते। ये तो नॉर्मल हथियारों के साथ थे शुरुआत में तो। कई इंटरव्यू में सुना है की हमारे पास वॉर वेपन्स नहीं थे
25 वर्ष बाद सारे राज खुल रहे हैं।
जय हिन्द
Indian Army❤
18 grenedier aaj kal charma uttarakhand me posted hai..sayad..
General's ki bahut badi galti thi jo pakistani capture ko ignore karte rahe
Mujhadeen jise wo bol rahe the jaan bujh kar wo pak army thi
Nhi to india ka itna loss nhi hota
❤
Now How many posts Indian army have on the top of tiger hill,tololing, draz secret and gumree base??
Through sacrifice
I have never ever seen such a crowded grave yard
Do u even know how cemetery in India are? Or you only know how to vomit.
How come Kushal sir and Devinder sir didn't get promoted to Major General... something is terribly wrong in our culture.
सब जगह भाई भतीजा वाद है *यस सर यस मैम का जमाना है* करते जाओ प्रमोशन पाऔ
Jai Hind
Brigadier ,Not said about game changer gun BOFORS even a single word, Anyway salute to our Indian army 🙏🏻
Did you even watch the video?
there's no brigadier here, he is Col. Thakur.
he spoke of bofors/artillery on several occasions in the whole interview.
have some respect for their efforts n don't post nonsense without listening.
Jai hind ki sena💪💪💪🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Where was air support
Its a complete failure of IB, RAW and Indian Army and now they are self boosting. Pakistan withdraw due to USA pressure. Indian Agency was just chilling in homes.
What about Indo Sino war?
Sorry to say, but listening to a field officer who experienced the operation, it looks like they were being used as cannon fodder. Instead of being in a hurry, this should have taken lot more planning and strategy, to minimise the casualties
Ideally these strategic locations should not be shown on SM, We can definitely talk about it but no pointing locations
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🙏🫡
Nitin Gokhale! please let him speak!
Camera man shi nhi h
❤❤❤❤❤

पोस्ट छोड़ कर तीन महीने तक ग़ायब रहोगे तो क्या होगा? दुश्मन को मौका दिया।

These areas were part of pakistan. After that, India captured in 1971 And 1984

Generals ne office me baith kar apni alaspan ko chhupane ke liye young officers and soldiers ka marwa diya yaha waha by order bhej bhej kar.
Bina proper information ke kyu marwaya young officers ko es bat ki enquiry kab hogi??
Mainey ye kiya maine wo kiya.....
Mainey isko bheja maine usko bheja
Bhai khud kyu nahi gaye aap¿????
Tumhe kuch pata hai army ke bare mein
