October 9, 201213 yr From Carnegie Endowment (pdf) [excerpt] Airpower at 18,000': The Indian Air Force in the Kargil WarSource: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Issued: September 20, 2012 70 pages in PDF format WASHINGTON, D.C. --- In the spring of 1999, the world slowly became aware of Pakistan’s foray into the Kargil-Dras sector of the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir, a provocation that would incite the limited war now known as the “Kargil conflict.” This clash represented a watershed in Indo-Pakistani security relations because it demonstrated that even the presence of nuclear weapons might not dampen the competition that has persisted historically between the region’s largest states. But the conflict distinguished itself in other ways as well, especially in the scale and type of military operations.
