Today as India celebrates Kargil 'Victory', there's still much to worry for both the rivals who fought against each other at Kargil in 1999.
It was a strategic blunder for Pakistan but India too didn't get much from it in strategic terms.
The video, though old is very relevant to understanding the Kargil war. The Point 5353, which is the highest peak in the Drass sector still remains under Pakistan Army's control.
Control of Point 5353 allows Pakistani troops to have a clear view of India's National Highway 1 D, which connects Occupied Kashmir with the Kargil and is the main supply route for the Indian Army to Laddakh and Siachen.
Pakistan Army has build up a strong defence at this post in last one decade which includes a logistics support route in shape of a small road.
This peak gives Pakistan Army the advantage to clearly view 25km of the National Highway and any Artillery fire can be directed very accurately into the Highway route if Artillery observers are deployed at this peak.
