Line of Control & Border skirmish: News, Images & Discussion

Its really surprising to notice something really vintage ( 1941 ) used during 1999 and perhaps still being deployed at LOC, Never knew Pakistani arty was so weak that they had to deploy this, Not sure where they got ammunition from, That shell which is going into that breach is dangerous to its crew only ..

The arty is British 140mm medium gun, With a range of just 16kms with a crew of 10 ..

These British 5.5 inch guns were used to be backbone of Indian Army and seen 65 and 71 war, After arrival of 105mm IFG these were phased out and kept for static display or Museum pieces ..

Now I got the point why Musharaff et.al were so confident about India not deploying Bofors in Kargil Theater. With these in arsenals they were not even able to think of anything like use of Bofors in Kargil. For them deploying this itself might have been an arduous task.

Guess who provided ammo for these guns in the 1965 war?

Israel!!! We didn't even have full diplomatic relations with them at that point in time, but yet they helped us without batting an eye!!

It was related with 160mm mortar and its ammunition, The ammunition of these guns were manufactured at OFB ..

Israeli are now like the rest but their arms are of better quality ..

Maybe that's how musharraf managed to keep the Kargil preparations partly under the radar. By diverting arty expired ammo stock meant for destruction, into Kargil war ammo.
