During the Kargil War of 1999, the Indian Air Force (IAF) executed Operation Safed Sagar to support ground forces in reclaiming infiltrated territories along the Line of Control (LoC). Beginning with reconnaissance missions in early May, the IAF faced challenges such as the loss of a Canberra PR57 to enemy fire on May 21. Despite setbacks, the IAF deployed Mirage 2000, MiG-21, MiG-27, Jaguar, and Mi-17 helicopters to conduct precision bombing, ground attack missions, and logistical support operations in the rugged Kargil terrain. The Mirage 2000 played a pivotal role with its Laser-Guided Bombs (LGBs) targeting key Pakistani positions. MiG-21s and MiG-27s provided essential air cover and ground support, while Jaguars delivered precision strikes on enemy bunkers. Mi-17 helicopters ensured troop transport and casualty evacuation under challenging conditions.
The coordinated efforts of these aircraft not only neutralized Pakistani infiltrators but also maintained air superiority crucial for ground advances. This integrated air-ground strategy underscored the IAF's operational prowess and contributed significantly to India's success in reclaiming strategic heights. The Kargil conflict highlighted the critical role of air power in modern warfare scenarios, shaping future military strategies and operations.
