About our guest:
An alumnus of National Defence Academy was commissioned into the Regiment of Artillery in December 1967. A third generation Army Officer was genetically inclined to serve in the Armed Forces. As a young Captain, he fought the 1971 War in the Dera Baba Nanak, Western Theatre, where he was recommended for the award of Vir Chakra. Since then, he has seen active service in every rank of his career. While in service, he has gone through the paces of all important courses in the Army, the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington in a competitive vacancy in 1981, the Higher Command Course, War College Mhow in 1990, and National Defence College, New Delhi in 1998. An out-of-the-box thinker, he ideated a new concept for the Artillery Fire Power to force the enemy to submission in the Kargil Heights War. Globally acknowledged for articulating the dynamic concept, Captain Marcus P Acosta from Naval Post Graduate School, Monterey, California, in his research paper on High Altitude and the Kargil War, writes, "the Indian Army deployed over 300 guns at Kargil, and most of them came under the command of one of the army’s most innovative leaders, Brigadier Lakhwinder Singh. Singh earned the nickname 'Enraged Bull of Dras' for his technique of applying overwhelming firepower in support of infantry maneuver, which he compared to using a 'sledgehammer to shell a peanut.' As commander of 8 Mountain Division's Artillery Brigade at Dras, he played a pivotal role in the conflict’s most important battles.

17 JAT और पाकिस्तानी मोर्चे के बीच में सिर्फ एक पत्थर था 72 घँटे बाद बोफोर्स का फायर आया, सिर्फ 15 गज दुर पाकिस्तानी मोर्चे मे सेल गिरा और काम हो गया। इतना सटीक निशाना था कि उस सेल से 17 JAT के एक भी जवान को नुकशान नहीं हुआ। 👍General Lakhwinder साहब को 👍💪✅

Yash , Gen Lakhwinder deserved a much better award and further promotion his efforts in the war will remain unparalleled a Brave officer He did a splendid job outstanding I openly say Kargil victory belongs if not more equally to Arty under his command . The Major Sandhu he mentioned is none other than yours truly Atamjeet singh sandhu 7CAV . 19 fire units more than two Brigades worth of Artillery with Grad and pinaca missile besides that 4 brigades plus of infantry and the lone Q staff officer of 8 Div in the war zone . It was the most satisfying tenure of duty to have fought the Kargil war and attained victory for the Nation.unsung or sung does not matter the most important factor for victory of 8 Div was the command of a cool headed balanced through professional GOC Gen Mohinder Puri The Gs ops staff and entire 8 Div Logistics units . Only one thing was in mind of every one jeet Na hai . Jeet gaye Jai Hind Bharat mata Ke Jai 🇮🇳.

I was 13 years old and i compiled all news paper cuttings in a journal. I felt very strongly about the war and our brave soldiers. Thanks for the internet to listen to the men who fought it on the ground.

Been waiting for long to hear from Maj Gen Lakhwinder Singh on his Artillery innovations in the Kargil war. What a legend of our armed forces Gen sahab is. Fascinating conversation with an amazing level of detail. I have seen a lot of interviews of kargil war heroes and one thing that amazes me is the kind of detail that they remember even after 25 years. Hata off to these Braves. I would request the Gen sahab to write a book about the role of Artillery in the war... Future of Artillery. Thanks Yash Mor sir for bringing this amazing interview.

Finally got the real picture of Kargil war from Gen Lakhwinder . I am surprised why Army has not considered artillary after air fire did not work in beginning. It sounds like our Generals came along this winning tactic because of our Artillery force efforts . They should have had this in mind as an army General in first place. Now I am wondering how we landed with Bofors with such an attitude in the Armed forces.

@Maj Gen Yash More sir, thank you for such a wonderful podcast. We have seen lots of special forces, infantry podcast but rarely seen Artillery oriented podcast. Knew their contribution but not to such an extend. I have also seen the virat Husain Kargil documentary at least a year back. This is best documentary I have seen on Kargil war. Thanks again sir

बफोर्स गन का निशाना रायफल की तरह लगाने का आइडिया सिर्फ भारतीय दिमाग मे ही आ सकता है सेल्यूट है पूरी अर्टलरी फोर्स को जिन्होंने इतने बीहड़ विहंगम जगह पर भी सटीक गोलाबारी करके हमे विजय दिलाई...वास्तव में बफोर्स का इस्तेमाल निर्णायक साबित हुआ

Jai Hind.. Jai Indian Armed forces.

Most, the most excellent/ General Lakhinder Singh ji
