The battles for Tololing and Point 5140 marked the first major breakthroughs for the Indian Army during Operation Vijay in the 1999 Kargil War. Fought in the rugged heights above Dras, these victories shifted the momentum of the conflict, paving the way for subsequent successes, including the capture of Tiger Hill, and ultimately India's victory.
The Indian Army has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure 450 India-made Carl Gustaf Mk IV multi-role rocket launchers under the Buy (Indian) category, marking another step in its ongoing infantry modernisation programme and the government's Make in India initiative.
