      Operation Safed Sagar

      Operation Safed Sagar was the name of the operation carried out by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to support the Indian Army during the Kargil War of 1999. Pakistani soldiers had infiltrated into the Kargil region much before May 1999, but their presence was detected by Indian troops in early May. The Indian Army launched Operation Vijay on May 26, 1999, to evict the intruders. Due to the difficult terrain, airpower was crucial to support ground operations. Operation Safed Sagar was the largest air operation conducted by the IAF in Jammu and Kashmir since the 1971 war.
