Operation Vijay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Operation Vijay was the code name for the Indian Armed Forces&#8217; military operation during the Kargil War of 1999. The operation was launched on May 11, 1999, after Pakistan-backed militants and Pakistani Army regulars intruded into Indian-held territory in the Kargil sector of the Line of Control (LoC). The Indian Armed Forces successfully repulsed the Pakistani intrusion and recaptured all the Indian territory that had been occupied by Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian Air Force played a vital role in Operation Vijay. The IAF used its fighter aircraft, helicopters, and transport aircraft to support the ground forces. The IAF also used its air power to destroy Pakistani artillery positions and supply lines. The IAF&#8217;s operations were highly successful and played a key role in the Indian victory in the Kargil War.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option B, Operation Meghdoot, was the code name for the Indian Army&#8217;s operation to capture the Siachen Glacier in 1984.<\/li>\n<li>Option C, Operation Indradhanush, was the code name for the Indian Navy&#8217;s operation to secure the Indian coastline during the Kargil War.<\/li>\n<li>Option D, Operation Safed Sagar, was the code name for the Indian Navy&#8217;s operation to provide logistical support to the Indian Army during the Kargil War.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Operation Vijay&#8221;
