In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami marks the anniversary of India’s victory in the 1999 Kargil conflict by turning sights on the unsung hero of that war: artillery.
The episode dissects how the much-maligned but battle-proven Bofors guns turned the tables on the intruding Pakistani soldiers and rained fire to help India win the conflict.
The episode also takes a deep dive into India’s march to self-reliance in the field of artillery with systems like the next-gen ATAGS.
What makes artillery such a game-changer in modern warfare? What role did artillery play in turning the tide during Kargil? And how does India’s current artillery landscape look like?
Dev breaks this down and more with defence expert Sandeep Unnithan.
We also explore:
The Bofors "sniper mode" legend during Kargil war
India’s current artillery inventory
The rise of ATAGS & Make-in-India success
Whether artillery is outdated or innovating
Ukraine war lessons for gunners
