I believe that during the Kargil conflict, the US switched off the GPS system accessibility on the Indian side of the border, denying the the Indian AF use of GPS munitions. remember, the war was fought wholly on the Indian side of the LOC, both on land and in the air. After this the Indian forces do not trust the Americans.
With the current resident in the White House and the fickle public that elected him, can you blame them?
Disgusting
Probably the fact that we detected movement around nuke weapon storage sites in Pakistan had something to do with denying India the use of GPS. Last thing anyone wants is to light off one of those..
I don’t think the IAF had any GPS munitions during Kargil. Besides, IIRC, only the US military has military-standard GPS. The rest have to make do with the standard civilian systems.
That was during Clintoon’s time, right? All the good work done by Dubya has nearly been wiped out by OLoser
