He deployed the rockets against advances of British forces and their allies during the Anglo-Mysore Wars, including the Battle of Pollilur and Siege of Seringapatam.

Ranjit Singh, also known as the Lion of the Punjab, was the first Indian in a millennium to reverse the tide of invasion back into the Pashtuns' (Afghans') ancestral homelands, the traditional conquerors of India. His kingdoms at their height included the whole Indian subcontinent, from Kashmir, at its northernmost point, south to the Thar (Great Indian) Desert, and from the Khyber Pass in the northwest to the Sutlej River in the east.
2. Tipu Sultan- Tippu Sultan, also known as Tipu Sultan, Fateh Ali Tipu, Tippu Sahib, or Tiger of Mysore (born 1750 in Devanhalli, India—died May 4, 1799 in Seringapatam, now Shrirangapattana), was the sultan of Mysore who gained notoriety in the conflicts fought in southern India in the late 18th century. Tipu received military training from French officers working for his father, Hyder Ali, the Muslim sultan of Mysore. Tippu led a corps of cavalry in battle against the Marathas in 1767 in the Carnatic (Karnataka) region of western India. Between 1775 and 1779, he engaged the Marathas on numerous occasions. He defeated Col. John Brathwaite on the banks of the Kollidam (Coleroon) River during the second Mysore War (February 1782).
