| Summary / Abstract (Note) | It was the month of July 1999. Kargil War was in its bitterest fighting phase. Artillery ammunition was being used extensively to dislodge Pakistani intruders from the hill tops. As the stocks were running low, a need was felt to import additional ammunition on emergent basis. Some other defence items were also required urgently for sustained operations. A comprehensive list was prepared and sent to the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin under a personal letter from the Indian Prime Minister A B Vajpayee. |
