Kargil was ok operation but lost due to political defeat in the white house. Rest 65 and 71, our Generals had lots of options, but all eggs in CENTO, Baghdad Pact and SETO etc etc etc ...Yes it did - Pakistan at the end could not stop the strikes at the end - the US got the targets it needed to get and slowed down the Haqqanis eventually with Pakistan cooperating.
That is a myth. Pakistanis have had average or below average strategy in general throughout their military conflicts. There have always been a few pretty good tactical commanders and one or two good strategic thinkers but there were never “brilliant” strategic to thinkers otherwise 65 would not have happened, 71 would have fought India to a stalemate in a fort strategy, Siachen would not be lost, Kargil would not have happened and so on
Yes , a known incident, don't remember the book. When Musharraf and his team presented the Kargil operation to the Benazir govt, that smart lady call in a foreign Minster and finance minister and asked them a few questions in front of military brass... Do we have enough money to fight this war and can we get enough International support to counter India in the UN or any other platform............................... rest you can guess.
