How Tiger Hill And Tololing Peaks Were Captured Against All Odds

- 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 🙏💪✌✋👍

भारत के सपूतों की बहादुरी के किस्से सुनकर सीना गर्व से फूल जाता है। जय हिंद।
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.
This documentary should be shared more and more.
All our patriotic activity is measured by our cricket love but
This is absolutely phenomenonaly inspiring
Hats off for the video of valor and sacrifice on the week of op VIJAY
Brig Thakur seems to be very clear hearted, caring,brave and inspirational officers. We ,the countrymen hold you in high esteem.Jai Hind.
Salute to our soldiers. Thanks Bharat Shakti for showing.
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.

Major rajesh adhikar is from my hometown
Bravest of the brave , the legends who won us the Kargil war by sheer grit and determination 🫡🇮🇳🙏🏼
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
Indeed indian army is proffesional.being pakistani iam saying and i mean it..
Hell with the Brig Amar who sits under the fan not knowing the ground reality. Big salute to you sir and your brave young men.
Thanks Bharat Shakti. Salute to Indian Army
Every indian shud be grateful to Israel as they supplied Mirage figter jet and Radar system,without which we wud have nt won the kargil war.
Mirage france ka h
You are on mistaken Miraj given by France why should be Indian grateful they are being paid for that, come out this shortof thinking
So much bravery, so much sacrifices, so many souls lost to safeguard our land from the enemies....and still we have to fight enemies within the country...ghar ka bhedi lanka dahaaye
Thank you sir, for sharing the story with these visuals 😍

SALUTE TO INDIAN ARMY. JAI HIND
Sad to see many of our war heroes were not rewarded due promotions & sacked. Those sitting in AC offices enjoyed the cherry on top .
Goosebumps agaya sir.
Great work.commendable
Koi koi Naman hi in Sahid veero ko 🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Tololing was the mother of all battles.❤
Sir, Why only focus on Tiger Hill And Tololing because it was very easy to approachable by Media? Many of them forgot Kukarthan, Jubbar, Khalubar that was more difficult to capture and they capture with less causality than 8th mountain division. And one more thing i have noticed when i visited War Memorial there is less information shown about those fought in 4th Division and it seems that war memorial is built for 8th mountain brigade only...
Why is there no subtitle put/generated in English, is it impossible?
Sir purane officer apne jawan ke lie jan de dete the bo apni batalian se bahut pyar krte the
Great sir Jai hind
Great victory sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for such a lovely video

Those who fought and sacrificed have not been promoted and those who should have been punished got promoted. 😢😢
It’s awesome video about Kargil War but you miss MVC Major Vivek Gupta(Martyred)
pranam🙏🙏🙏🙏
Salute ❤
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
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
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।

Army lovers ❤❤
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
Indian Army❤
Don,t interpret when some army officer tell us about kargil war and also he is part of kargil war.😊
Now How many posts Indian army have on the top of tiger hill,tololing, draz secret and gumree base??
Winner of tololing - 2 RAJPUTANA RIFLES
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.
It was not captured by the Indian army but due to American pressure on Pakistan, it was given back to the indians
Nice joke😂 fr lasshe kya kr rhi wahan tumare logo ki
Abe donkey bech ke gujara krne wali kom , salwar phnne wali 😂army h mulo ki, khane ko khana nhi , chale h Kashmir lene
Where was air support
JAI HIND
Why he was not made major general…..?
Competent , good officers are limited to brigadiers , sycophants are generally promoted above brigadier
🙏🏼🙏🏼
जय हिन्द
18 grenedier aaj kal charma uttarakhand me posted hai..sayad..
25 वर्ष बाद सारे राज खुल रहे हैं।
Kushal sahab ke sath Sarkar Ne Anyay Kiya
There was also 1 Naga regiment involved in this mission.
Camera man shi nhi h
Jai hind ki sena💪💪💪🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
❤
Through sacrifice
❤❤❤❤❤
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?
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
Ideally these strategic locations should not be shown on SM, We can definitely talk about it but no pointing locations
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
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.
It's a war memorial with 527 pillars each with the names of soldiers who died. We honour our soldiers unlike you guys who abandon yours saying "these are not our men". The Indian Army buried a total of 249 Pakistani soldiers which were left behind and were not taken by the running Pakis.
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.
10:55 kmbofirs ki prashansa ki toh hai pura video toh dekha kar
🙏🙏
पोस्ट छोड़ कर तीन महीने तक ग़ायब रहोगे तो क्या होगा? दुश्मन को मौका दिया।
Jai Hind
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
