WEBVTT
00:50.563 --> 00:52.563
- Good morning, Madhavi.
- Good morning, Madhavi.
00:52.646 --> 00:53.813
Good morning.
00:53.896 --> 00:55.605
What happened? It's Sunday today.
00:56.188 --> 00:57.063
Yeah.
00:58.146 --> 00:59.355
Good morning.
00:59.438 --> 01:02.271
We're going to Srinagar, pack your bags.
01:03.313 --> 01:06.396
Sangy is in Mirage now,
and Chou Sir's on leave, so,
01:06.480 --> 01:08.230
- we all have to go.
- Okay.
01:08.313 --> 01:09.980
- See you, Madhavi.
- See you, Madhavi.
01:15.688 --> 01:19.146
Last night in Kargil Sector,
of the Indian Army's
01:19.230 --> 01:22.646
important ammunition depots
was completely destroyed
01:22.730 --> 01:25.230
by unknown intruders
with heavy bombing.
01:25.313 --> 01:29.063
And the resident of Kargil's Magistrate
was also been targeted today.
01:29.146 --> 01:33.355
Constant firing is being carried out
from the peaks of the Tololing Complex,
01:33.438 --> 01:36.605
which is the hard to reach
mountainous region of the Kargil Sector
01:36.688 --> 01:38.938
closest to the Srinagar-Leh Highway.
01:39.021 --> 01:40.980
Due to the scarcity of
ammunition and supplies…
01:41.063 --> 01:45.438
Sir, the ISI Chief
has already called thrice.
01:45.521 --> 01:46.980
What should we do?
01:47.063 --> 01:48.521
The Indian DGMO?
01:49.313 --> 01:51.271
I have already lied to the Indian DGMO.
01:52.396 --> 01:54.521
But we will have to tell
ISI Chief the truth.
01:54.605 --> 01:55.730
Hmm.
01:55.813 --> 01:56.938
We don't have to, General.
01:58.730 --> 02:01.521
The Chief has shown the Prime Minister
those captured posts in Skardu.
02:01.605 --> 02:04.605
Yes, but he doesn't know that they are on
the other side of the LoC.
02:04.688 --> 02:06.688
Yeah, but that was our plan, wasn't it?
02:07.188 --> 02:09.563
Sir, before anybody else tells PM Nawaz…
02:13.855 --> 02:16.521
I want you to organize a briefing
at the earliest.
02:18.230 --> 02:21.605
It's time our Prime Minister
gets to play his part in this plan.
03:18.105 --> 03:22.021
Tony, do you remember,
when we were just married,
03:22.771 --> 03:25.105
I used to sleep till late everyday.
03:26.313 --> 03:30.438
And you would fly your MiG over our house
just to wake me up every morning.
03:32.980 --> 03:36.688
If you don't want me to get used to
waking up late all over again…
03:37.396 --> 03:39.146
you better come back to wake me up.
03:58.355 --> 03:59.771
Can't you stand still for a moment?
04:01.730 --> 04:02.813
It'll just take a minute.
04:03.521 --> 04:05.938
I need to pack my things.
Is this important right now?
04:06.021 --> 04:07.855
When do we do it?
Your birthday is coming up.
04:08.605 --> 04:10.813
It's a small mission.
I'll be back before my birthday.
04:14.896 --> 04:15.855
Please don't worry.
04:17.688 --> 04:19.230
I'm not worried. Now turn.
06:13.605 --> 06:15.605
Welcome to the GHQ, Mr. Prime Minister.
06:17.938 --> 06:20.521
I don't understand why
you've called such an urgent meeting.
06:21.480 --> 06:24.146
This way, sir. Let's sit down and talk.
06:24.230 --> 06:25.146
Okay.
06:28.313 --> 06:31.438
Tell me, what briefing
did you want to give me?
06:36.938 --> 06:39.688
Sir, as per your wishes,
06:39.771 --> 06:43.063
our freedom fighters
have endured the harsh winter,
06:43.146 --> 06:45.730
and they have occupied many new peaks
in the valley.
06:47.605 --> 06:50.230
Some of those posts are across the LoC.
06:54.063 --> 06:57.021
Sir, these are the very same posts
that overlook NH1,
06:57.105 --> 06:59.105
that the Chief had showed you in Skardu.
06:59.771 --> 07:01.355
As the Chief briefed you…
07:01.438 --> 07:05.855
General Musharraf, has the army forgotten
how to clearly answer a simple question?
07:20.313 --> 07:22.021
This is the LoC, sir.
07:23.438 --> 07:26.063
And all these captured posts,
07:26.896 --> 07:28.146
are across the LoC.
07:29.813 --> 07:31.146
They are Indian posts.
07:34.396 --> 07:35.980
Good morning, gentlemen.
07:36.063 --> 07:38.813
You've all been summoned here
at extremely short notice,
07:38.896 --> 07:41.938
because in the Kargil,
Drass and Batalik sectors,
07:42.021 --> 07:45.605
our army is facing very heavy attacks
at the moment.
07:45.688 --> 07:49.605
And, it seems like
a highly coordinated attack.
07:50.188 --> 07:51.063
Oak.
07:51.146 --> 07:52.230
Sir.
07:52.313 --> 07:55.105
The army's ammunition dump
has been destroyed.
07:55.188 --> 07:58.230
Their recce helicopters
have also been heavily damaged.
07:58.313 --> 08:02.105
The National Highway 1 that connects
Srinagar with Leh and Ladakh,
08:02.188 --> 08:04.188
has been completely cut off.
08:04.271 --> 08:06.063
Army supplies are getting affected.
08:06.146 --> 08:08.146
Now for those
unfamiliar with this terrain,
08:08.813 --> 08:15.188
This stretch of Drass, Kargil and Batalik,
is a 115 kilometer long stretch.
08:15.896 --> 08:18.271
Right now it's a black hole for the army,
08:18.355 --> 08:20.688
quite frankly, maybe for us as well.
08:22.480 --> 08:27.521
And that's why, air combat and
bombing squadrons will be on standby,
08:27.605 --> 08:32.230
until, The Golden Arrows find the answer
to the most fundamental question,
08:34.438 --> 08:35.938
Who are we fighting?
08:38.271 --> 08:40.230
Then why don't you say it clearly,
08:40.313 --> 08:43.063
that they aren't the Mujahideen
but the Pakistan army.
08:43.146 --> 08:45.230
And as far as I remember,
08:45.313 --> 08:48.230
you didn't inform Mr. Nawaz about this
in Skardu.
08:48.313 --> 08:50.938
For the world and India technically,
they are Mujahideen.
08:51.021 --> 08:52.480
We've trained them to speak Pashto.
08:52.563 --> 08:55.813
Pashto? What is the point
of training them in Pashto?
08:55.896 --> 08:57.105
What if they get caught?
08:57.188 --> 08:59.771
Them getting caught is impossible.
08:59.855 --> 09:02.355
It's impossible to reach us
at that height.
09:02.438 --> 09:05.896
Like in Siachen, where we weren't able
to reach the Indian Army. This time they--
09:05.980 --> 09:08.063
Enough! I've had it with this briefing.
09:10.688 --> 09:13.855
You will stop the foolishness
you've pulled off without my knowledge…
09:15.396 --> 09:17.188
and you'll wait for orders from me.
09:21.355 --> 09:22.271
Let's go.
09:23.230 --> 09:24.230
Mr. Nawaz.
09:25.646 --> 09:30.730
Gandhi, Patel, Nehru, Mountbatten…
09:32.063 --> 09:35.813
none of these men ever wanted Pakistan
to come into existence,
09:35.896 --> 09:38.230
but Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah was firm.
09:39.105 --> 09:41.938
In this world, there there have been only
a handful of leaders
09:42.021 --> 09:43.646
who have managed to change the map.
09:43.730 --> 09:46.146
And a chosen few amongst them…
09:46.230 --> 09:48.688
have managed to give birth
to a new nation.
09:49.855 --> 09:51.396
Today if Pakistan exists,
09:52.063 --> 09:54.396
it's only because of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
09:56.855 --> 10:00.313
We have already taken a large part
of Kashmir away from India.
10:01.605 --> 10:03.521
And if we stand firm this time…
10:05.480 --> 10:07.146
then like Muhammad Ali Jinnah,
10:07.230 --> 10:09.605
you will be changing the map
of this world.
10:09.688 --> 10:11.855
General, we were here
for a military briefing today…
10:13.605 --> 10:15.938
we didn't come here
for advice on political matters.
10:20.063 --> 10:23.105
I had told you clearly, Mr. Pervez,
10:23.188 --> 10:24.855
no more surprises.
10:26.646 --> 10:28.271
But I've guess you've forgotten
10:28.355 --> 10:30.980
that you're only this country's
Army Chief,
10:31.480 --> 10:32.646
not the Prime Minister.
10:38.188 --> 10:39.438
You better not forget it.
10:40.230 --> 10:41.188
Let's go.
10:46.105 --> 10:50.188
Such a big operation,
and none of us knew about it.
10:52.980 --> 10:54.938
Now, what is the plan ahead?
10:57.646 --> 10:58.855
What's the plan?
10:59.563 --> 11:02.646
We're going to have to look for
a new Army Chief, dear father.
11:03.438 --> 11:04.771
You see his audacity?
11:04.855 --> 11:06.230
Without asking me,
11:06.313 --> 11:09.396
without seeking permission
from the Prime Minister,
11:09.480 --> 11:11.188
this man has done this.
11:11.271 --> 11:14.021
Is this the right time
to replace General Musharraf?
11:15.980 --> 11:16.813
What…
11:17.771 --> 11:20.021
What are you saying?
What do you mean?
11:40.021 --> 11:41.438
I have told you this before,
11:42.688 --> 11:44.938
running a country
is like running a business.
11:46.521 --> 11:49.521
And to keep yourself strong
in this business of politics,
11:49.605 --> 11:51.730
you have to be on the winning side.
11:52.480 --> 11:55.813
The win that you could not achieve
through peace talks,
11:55.896 --> 11:58.563
if Musharraf achieves it without you,
11:58.646 --> 12:00.271
entirely on his own,
12:01.313 --> 12:03.021
then why would anybody need you?
12:03.855 --> 12:06.313
That's why, if he's winning the war…
12:08.146 --> 12:11.896
then this operation has to be
the Prime Minister's.
12:14.355 --> 12:15.646
It has to be yours.
12:16.688 --> 12:19.396
If you prove to be worthy in this moment,
12:20.105 --> 12:24.146
mark my words, you will be considered
to be at par with Jinnah.
12:25.188 --> 12:27.813
Call the Cabinet in the evening,
once again.
12:27.896 --> 12:29.813
And invite General Musharraf as well.
12:38.438 --> 12:40.813
Boys, right now,
we are the eyes of the nation.
12:42.813 --> 12:44.521
And this is a very big responsibility.
12:45.271 --> 12:46.605
And a difficult one, too.
12:47.313 --> 12:48.855
1,000 to 2,000 feet.
12:50.271 --> 12:52.271
As a low altitude photo recce squadron,
12:52.355 --> 12:54.771
this is the altitude
we've been trained for.
12:55.730 --> 12:57.605
But now, the enemy is over here…
12:59.563 --> 13:00.688
at 18,000 feet.
13:02.896 --> 13:06.438
Temperature -25 degrees,
wind speed 100 kilometers per hour.
13:07.771 --> 13:11.355
So we need to reach here
to get our photographs.
13:11.438 --> 13:12.605
20,000 feet.
13:13.230 --> 13:17.063
Now, we know that our MiGs are not built
for these heights and conditions.
13:18.563 --> 13:21.188
Unfortunately, they know this fact
as well as we do.
13:22.480 --> 13:25.146
To conceal our approach,
we will fly through the valley
13:25.230 --> 13:27.563
and we will make our way to
the target sector.
13:28.355 --> 13:31.313
And then without warning,
we will climb up…
13:33.146 --> 13:35.146
and cross over from above the enemy.
13:35.230 --> 13:36.938
There are mountains on both sides.
13:37.021 --> 13:38.605
One small slip,
13:40.355 --> 13:41.771
and we crash.
13:44.480 --> 13:46.396
Ahuja and I will fly the first sortie.
13:49.105 --> 13:50.480
Will one sortie be enough?
13:51.813 --> 13:54.396
Will we be successful in capturing
their exact locations?
13:54.938 --> 13:56.063
I can't say for sure.
13:56.146 --> 13:57.646
All I know is that…
13:58.480 --> 14:01.021
no photo recce squadron
in the history of the Indian Air Force,
14:01.105 --> 14:03.521
has had such a critical role before.
14:03.605 --> 14:05.105
We are the select chosen few,
14:05.813 --> 14:08.438
who get an opportunity
to protect our borders.
14:10.855 --> 14:12.521
So, Golden Arrows,
14:12.605 --> 14:14.355
- are we ready?
- Yes sir!
14:14.438 --> 14:15.688
- Are we ready?
- Yes sir!
14:15.771 --> 14:17.438
- Are we ready?
- Yes sir!
14:21.688 --> 14:23.105
What's your plan for tomorrow?
14:23.188 --> 14:26.063
Depends, sir.
Let's see how today's recce goes.
14:26.688 --> 14:29.021
Ideally, we should do multiple sorties
with the boys.
14:31.438 --> 14:33.063
I'm talking about your birthday.
14:33.938 --> 14:35.480
Birthday plans at such a time?
14:36.563 --> 14:39.146
I anyway have more than
hundred birthdays in a year.
14:39.688 --> 14:42.605
Celebrating just one day
is undervaluing oneself, isn't it?
14:45.396 --> 14:47.480
Every successful landing
is like a birthday, sir.
14:48.396 --> 14:50.438
There you again with your twisted logic.
14:50.521 --> 14:52.521
This world hinges on twisted logic, sir.
14:53.688 --> 14:56.521
Or, why would fight
for these barren mountains?
14:56.605 --> 14:57.938
See you on the other side.
14:58.646 --> 14:59.480
Will do, sir.
15:22.813 --> 15:24.188
Setting course for IP.
15:24.271 --> 15:25.188
Roger, sir.
15:38.813 --> 15:42.396
Arrow 2, careful.
We are in the valley now.
15:42.480 --> 15:43.646
Roger, on your tail.
15:45.855 --> 15:48.730
Arrow 1, strong crosswinds
are pushing you to the right.
15:48.813 --> 15:50.438
Abort valley approach, Arrow 1.
15:50.521 --> 15:52.063
Arrow 2, we'll have to fight it.
15:52.146 --> 15:54.480
Arrow 1, we might collide
with the side of the mountain.
15:54.563 --> 15:57.396
It's too late, Arrow 2.
Start crabbing now.
16:01.480 --> 16:04.730
Maintain RPM and altitude, keep nose up!
16:04.813 --> 16:06.521
Maintaining. Maintaining, Arrow 1.
16:14.021 --> 16:16.021
Arrow 2, stand by for left exit.
16:16.105 --> 16:16.938
Roger.
16:20.730 --> 16:21.646
Careful.
16:22.438 --> 16:23.813
Be ready to exit the valley.
16:24.355 --> 16:25.438
Careful on the left.
16:25.521 --> 16:27.146
Exit valley now.
16:35.688 --> 16:37.063
That was close, Arrow 2.
16:37.146 --> 16:38.771
This will be difficult for the boys.
16:38.855 --> 16:40.771
We'll have to think of a Plan B
for the valley.
16:40.855 --> 16:42.355
Strongly agree, Arrow 1.
16:48.438 --> 16:51.896
Arrow 2, banking left 45 degrees
for better visual.
16:51.980 --> 16:54.521
Roger, I'll bank right
at 45 degrees and check.
17:00.063 --> 17:02.313
Come on! Everyone hide in a bunker! Hurry!
17:44.521 --> 17:46.813
All I can see is snow everywhere.
17:47.646 --> 17:49.605
Arrow 1, I think I spotted something.
17:49.688 --> 17:51.105
Marking co-ordinates for you.
17:51.188 --> 17:52.855
What are you suggesting, Arrow 2?
17:52.938 --> 17:54.938
Sir, let's take another pass,
17:55.021 --> 17:56.021
a little lower.
17:56.813 --> 17:59.021
Alright. Fuel check.
17:59.896 --> 18:01.646
Joker plus hundred. Plenty of fuel, sir.
18:01.730 --> 18:04.480
Exercise caution, Arrow 2,
hostile fire possible.
18:11.771 --> 18:13.271
The jets are coming back this way.
18:17.855 --> 18:19.730
Approaching target. Turn on cameras.
18:19.813 --> 18:20.938
Cameras on standby.
18:27.355 --> 18:28.646
Target in 5…
18:28.730 --> 18:31.980
4… 3… 2… 1.
18:32.063 --> 18:33.646
- Cameras on.
- Cameras on.
18:44.896 --> 18:47.688
Arrow 2, did you see anything
on the second pass?
18:47.771 --> 18:50.105
- I did see something, Arrow 1.
- What was it?
18:50.188 --> 18:52.980
Not sure, sir. But something's out there.
18:54.355 --> 18:55.355
Just a hunch.
19:25.355 --> 19:26.480
I'll take it.
19:26.563 --> 19:28.313
You guys take Tony Sir's reel inside.
19:28.396 --> 19:30.480
- Sir I can do that--
- What did I say?
19:30.563 --> 19:33.230
Take Tony Sir's reel from his jet
and take it to the PIC.
19:33.855 --> 19:35.771
I want the reels developed by evening.
19:46.896 --> 19:48.313
Good evening, Mr. Prime Minister.
19:49.980 --> 19:52.146
I have behaved inappropriately with you.
19:54.813 --> 19:55.771
Please forgive me.
19:55.855 --> 19:58.021
Please don't say that, Mr. Prime Minister.
19:58.563 --> 19:59.813
Your anger was justified.
20:00.813 --> 20:04.855
But my intention was to keep you protected
until the time was right.
20:04.938 --> 20:09.146
General, the way in which you have
kept the operation a secret,
20:09.980 --> 20:11.771
it is highly commendable.
20:11.855 --> 20:15.105
Operation Koh-e-Paima, sir.
The operation's name.
20:15.188 --> 20:17.896
And now Koh-e-Paima
is my responsibility as well.
20:19.646 --> 20:20.855
You said it.
20:20.938 --> 20:21.813
Absolutely, sir.
20:22.480 --> 20:24.855
Our soldiers have done their job.
20:24.938 --> 20:27.146
Now all of you have to
20:27.230 --> 20:30.438
collectively leverage this situation
at a diplomatic level.
20:30.521 --> 20:32.105
- Mr. Sartaj?
- Sir.
20:33.521 --> 20:36.605
What is the international reaction
on this issue at the moment?
20:36.688 --> 20:40.313
Sir, the Indians are moving towards
Russian support.
20:40.396 --> 20:41.271
And the US?
20:42.938 --> 20:46.230
America, as expected, is neutral for now.
20:46.813 --> 20:49.521
Sir, I think, we should have
a conversation with China.
20:50.021 --> 20:54.021
If we win China's support,
we won't just surround India militarily,
20:54.105 --> 20:56.188
but on the diplomatic front as well.
20:56.271 --> 20:57.271
That's perfect.
20:57.355 --> 21:00.271
Then the ISI Chief and I
will speak to Beijing.
21:00.355 --> 21:03.313
Nawaz, I strongly feel that,
21:03.396 --> 21:06.146
General Musharraf should be one
going to China.
21:06.230 --> 21:09.188
Who better than an Army Chief
to establish a conversation
21:09.271 --> 21:11.313
with a country which is a military state?
21:21.688 --> 21:22.646
Jai Hind, sir.
21:24.521 --> 21:27.021
- Jai Hind. Tell me, Pathak.
- There's an emergency.
21:27.646 --> 21:28.521
What emergency?
21:28.605 --> 21:30.480
I don't know, sir.
Tony Sir has called you.
21:43.230 --> 21:46.896
He's a jolly good fellow,
he's a jolly good fellow
21:46.980 --> 21:52.396
He's a jolly good fellow,
and so say all of us
21:55.896 --> 21:58.521
Ahuja, happy Birthday!
22:00.771 --> 22:02.813
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you, sir.
22:02.896 --> 22:09.313
Happy birthday dear, Ahuja sir
Happy birthday to you
22:10.021 --> 22:13.105
Alka ma'am loves you
22:13.188 --> 22:16.271
We all love you
22:16.813 --> 22:18.313
Flying officer Dhaliwal.
22:18.396 --> 22:22.230
Happy birthday dear Ahuja sir
happy birthday to you
22:22.313 --> 22:23.896
Yeah, I'll tell him, hold on.
22:23.980 --> 22:25.438
Sir, the pictures are ready.
22:39.521 --> 22:40.396
Here.
22:49.730 --> 22:52.188
Project this negative for me. Hmm?
22:52.271 --> 22:53.646
Okay.
23:13.688 --> 23:14.730
Here.
23:15.855 --> 23:17.021
Just this area.
23:18.480 --> 23:19.896
I want a printout of this.
23:21.063 --> 23:22.021
Excuse me, sir.
23:26.855 --> 23:29.230
Sir, these are the enlargements
of our recce photos.
23:30.688 --> 23:32.480
If you look at these magnified images,
23:33.188 --> 23:35.313
you can clearly see footsteps on the snow.
23:36.355 --> 23:38.605
But these footprints
are not random at all.
23:38.688 --> 23:40.688
It's a single coordinated trail sir.
23:41.688 --> 23:43.688
The Mujahideen
don't walk in a single file.
23:44.771 --> 23:46.730
Single file means that they're soldiers.
23:46.813 --> 23:49.688
Sir, why would the Mujahideen
walk with such discipline,
23:49.771 --> 23:52.605
like a regiment in such
treacherous snowy conditions?
23:52.688 --> 23:55.730
They could pass through any unguarded area
without a pattern,
23:55.813 --> 23:57.313
walking and cross however they want.
23:57.396 --> 23:58.896
I agree with the Air Chief.
23:58.980 --> 24:01.438
This does look like the Pakistan army.
24:01.980 --> 24:03.980
RAW has intercepted radio calls.
24:04.646 --> 24:07.980
They're speaking in Pashto, but…
24:09.355 --> 24:12.605
they are discussing army protocols
in these conversations.
24:13.105 --> 24:15.855
If we analyze the depth of this trail,
24:16.605 --> 24:19.605
it's clear that this trail
hasn't been used only once.
24:19.688 --> 24:21.438
It's been used repeatedly.
24:21.521 --> 24:24.105
This would mean that
they've been on our peaks
24:24.188 --> 24:26.396
for quite a long time,
24:26.480 --> 24:27.563
and set up a base there.
24:27.646 --> 24:31.438
Sir, historically,
the Mujahideen cross the LoC,
24:31.521 --> 24:33.438
and carry out some small attacks.
24:33.521 --> 24:36.688
Why would they set up a bases
on the peaks?
24:38.855 --> 24:41.730
Gentlemen, I believe
24:42.688 --> 24:45.396
we are faced with a limited invasion,
24:45.480 --> 24:46.938
by the Pakistan army.
24:47.938 --> 24:50.146
This is not just deceit.
24:51.188 --> 24:55.146
Pakistan has betrayed us
and stabbed us in the back.
24:56.105 --> 25:00.230
And we will give a befitting reply
to this betrayal.
25:02.563 --> 25:04.063
I…
25:05.021 --> 25:09.355
hereby grant permission to
Indian Air Force to bombing.
25:09.980 --> 25:11.813
- Sir.
- But…
25:12.771 --> 25:14.438
on one condition…
25:15.396 --> 25:19.688
remember, we have to respect
the Line of Control.
25:22.563 --> 25:24.230
Because they would want
25:24.938 --> 25:27.063
that we cross the border.
25:28.938 --> 25:31.438
So that they can tell the whole world,
25:33.146 --> 25:36.146
that they didn't do anything in Kargil.
25:36.230 --> 25:38.813
It is the Indians
who are crossing the border.
25:38.896 --> 25:41.730
And also, due to the fear
of nuclear escalation,
25:42.855 --> 25:45.688
UK, France, US, Russia,
25:45.771 --> 25:49.438
the whole international community would
put pressurize on us for a ceasefire.
25:49.521 --> 25:53.980
And then, whoever occupies whatever
will become the new LoC.
25:54.063 --> 25:56.146
And this ploy of theirs,
25:56.230 --> 25:58.605
will be our biggest challenge in this war.
26:06.563 --> 26:09.730
We can't cross the LoC and strike them,
26:09.813 --> 26:12.188
or we can't cross the LoC at all, sir?
26:12.271 --> 26:13.105
Both.
26:14.605 --> 26:17.230
We can just attack from our side,
26:17.313 --> 26:19.188
and bomb those captured peaks.
26:19.896 --> 26:25.271
But, Chief, the basic principle
for any Air Force in the world is that
26:25.355 --> 26:28.355
we go across the line
and find the enemy infrastructure,
26:28.438 --> 26:29.938
and then neutralize it.
26:30.021 --> 26:32.438
How on Earth will our fighters
be able to find
26:32.521 --> 26:34.230
their targets in this white ocean?
26:34.313 --> 26:35.938
I don't know.
26:36.021 --> 26:38.938
All I know is that,
if we don't do something,
26:39.021 --> 26:43.605
then this white ocean will be fully
covered with only corpses of our men.
26:44.146 --> 26:45.021
That's all.
26:54.146 --> 26:56.438
Operation Safed Sagar.
27:08.813 --> 27:12.396
The Prime Minister has authorized
air strikes in this war.
27:12.480 --> 27:13.855
We are ready sir.
27:13.938 --> 27:15.980
We have marked their supply routes.
27:16.063 --> 27:17.896
And their forward bases are also marked.
27:18.480 --> 27:20.980
Tomorrow morning,
we'll cross the LoC and bomb them.
27:21.063 --> 27:25.730
But we know that when we cross the LoC,
their F-16s can go airborne.
27:25.813 --> 27:26.855
And then MiG-29s…
27:29.605 --> 27:32.396
Their F-16s won't go airborne…
27:34.396 --> 27:36.188
because we…
27:38.188 --> 27:39.813
we won't cross the LoC.
27:44.021 --> 27:45.563
Sir, at such an altitude
27:45.646 --> 27:49.063
hitting such small camouflaged targets,
it's almost impossible.
27:50.480 --> 27:52.605
No air force in the world
has ever done such a thing.
27:52.688 --> 27:53.980
So?
27:54.730 --> 27:56.688
The Indian Air Force will be the first.
27:56.771 --> 28:00.313
Because if we cross the LoC,
the conflict will escalate.
28:01.063 --> 28:04.355
Pakistan will demand a ceasefire
in the international forum,
28:04.438 --> 28:09.980
and intruders, where ever they are,
that will become the new LoC.
28:10.063 --> 28:11.813
And we'll loose our land.
28:11.896 --> 28:15.271
We must understand, that this is
28:15.355 --> 28:17.855
also a diplomatic war now.
28:21.688 --> 28:25.563
I know, I'm asking you to strike
with your hands tied.
28:26.313 --> 28:28.771
The Army has already started
Operation Vijay.
28:28.855 --> 28:30.938
Now, either we can support them…
28:32.521 --> 28:37.271
or sit at home and watch a live telecast
of their losses.
28:43.688 --> 28:48.313
So, gentlemen, is the Indian Air Force
ready for this war?
28:48.396 --> 28:49.938
Yes sir!
28:50.021 --> 28:54.605
Operation Safed Sagar starts tomorrow,
at 0700 hours.
28:58.146 --> 29:00.688
The ongoing conflict
between India and Pakistan
29:00.771 --> 29:02.771
in Kargil has taken a new turn.
29:02.855 --> 29:06.438
In a press conference,
Home Minister Lal Krishna Advani said…
29:06.521 --> 29:10.938
"Violated the Shimla Agreement,
violated the Lahore Declaration.
29:11.021 --> 29:13.730
"Mercenaries who have been sent
across the border,
29:13.813 --> 29:17.355
"that is Pakistani regulars,
Pakistani army regulars."
29:17.438 --> 29:19.938
Immediately after
heavy deployment of the Indian Army
29:20.021 --> 29:21.938
was seen in the Drass and Kargil sectors.
29:22.021 --> 29:24.896
And for the first time in history,
two nuclear armed nations
29:24.980 --> 29:27.896
appear to be heading towards
a direct confrontation.
29:27.980 --> 29:29.188
Addressing the nation today,
29:29.271 --> 29:32.021
Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee
had this to say.
29:32.105 --> 29:34.896
"We want peace
and the world has seen that.
29:34.980 --> 29:36.938
"Now the world will also witness that
29:37.021 --> 29:41.188
"we too demonstrate our power
for the protection of that peace."
29:46.980 --> 29:49.938
Mr. Vajpayee,
this isn't the Pakistani army,
29:50.021 --> 29:51.646
they are the Mujahideen.
29:51.730 --> 29:53.146
You could have spoken to me
29:53.230 --> 29:55.938
before you made the announcement
to the international media.
29:58.313 --> 30:01.938
Our government has no control over these
Mujahideen. Please try and understand.
30:05.146 --> 30:06.563
Mr. Nawaz,
30:07.396 --> 30:10.688
the Government is all about authority,
isn't it?
30:10.771 --> 30:13.355
A Government that doesn't have control,
30:14.480 --> 30:16.563
can we even call it a Government?
30:17.230 --> 30:20.396
Mr. Nawaz,
because of all our joint efforts,
30:21.146 --> 30:23.896
the people of both of our countries
30:24.605 --> 30:26.438
had found a ray of hope.
30:27.230 --> 30:29.355
But remember one thing, Mr. Nawaz,
30:29.438 --> 30:33.105
that both our countries will never
30:33.980 --> 30:36.146
recover from this massive betrayal.
30:46.396 --> 30:47.396
Arrows.
30:48.355 --> 30:49.813
Sir.
30:54.646 --> 30:56.021
Even you aren't getting any sleep?
30:58.688 --> 31:00.730
This is my first war as well.
31:00.813 --> 31:03.063
But there's no point studying
the night before the exam.
31:03.688 --> 31:05.313
Come on. Let's do something else.
31:06.438 --> 31:08.355
At ease, boys.
31:11.688 --> 31:13.313
Two truths and a lie.
31:15.605 --> 31:18.021
- Have you played this?
- No, sir.
31:19.355 --> 31:23.271
Everyone has to tell us
two truths and one lie about themselves.
31:24.855 --> 31:28.396
And everyone else just has to deduce
which one's the lie.
31:29.230 --> 31:31.438
- Sounds like your game, sir.
- Correct.
31:33.021 --> 31:34.563
So I'll go first. Hmm.
31:37.063 --> 31:39.105
I always wanted to join the Air Force.
31:40.730 --> 31:43.813
I said yes to Alka's marriage proposal
31:43.896 --> 31:47.438
when she made me an amazing cup of coffee
in less than a minute.
31:48.646 --> 31:51.938
Tony. Tony hated me
the first time he met me.
31:53.563 --> 31:55.271
This one's really easy, sir.
31:55.355 --> 31:56.355
Start guessing.
31:56.896 --> 31:58.563
Sir, the Tony Sir is a lie, for sure.
31:58.646 --> 32:00.438
What, Tony Sir? Alka ma'am thing is a lie.
32:00.521 --> 32:03.313
- No, no. They can't hate each other.
- Who can make coffee in a minute?
32:03.396 --> 32:04.855
The last option is correct.
32:04.938 --> 32:07.146
Coffee in a minute can't be a reason
to accept marriage.
32:07.230 --> 32:08.605
I think it's Tony Sir option.
32:08.688 --> 32:10.146
- Tony Sir.
- Tony Sir.
32:10.230 --> 32:11.230
- Alka ma'am.
- Time is up.
32:11.313 --> 32:13.605
Tony Sir for me and Goofy.
The last option.
32:13.688 --> 32:15.563
- Alka ma'am.
- Yeah, Alka ma'am, sir.
32:17.396 --> 32:20.730
Dammit! You're all wrong.
32:23.188 --> 32:26.438
I did not always
want to join the Air Force.
32:29.688 --> 32:31.396
Wait, hold on a second…
32:31.480 --> 32:33.563
You said yes to her
because you liked the coffee?
32:36.396 --> 32:37.521
Yeah, man.
32:39.021 --> 32:40.521
I just thought,
32:41.021 --> 32:43.563
a woman who can make
amazing coffee in a minute,
32:45.146 --> 32:47.188
would save so much time every day.
32:47.688 --> 32:50.646
And the two of us could live so much more
32:51.563 --> 32:52.980
with all the extra time saved.
32:53.980 --> 32:55.396
So I said yes.
32:56.021 --> 32:56.896
Sir.
32:56.980 --> 32:59.105
If I may ask, and don't take me wrong…
32:59.771 --> 33:02.605
but why did Alka ma'am say yes?
I'm sure she had a reason as well.
33:03.146 --> 33:04.063
Just asking.
33:06.646 --> 33:09.021
You'll have to go and ask
Alka ma'am this question.
33:11.896 --> 33:13.355
She hasn't told me yet.
33:15.063 --> 33:17.230
But who falls for someone
over coffee, sir?
33:51.980 --> 33:54.021
Hercules formation. Cleared for takeoff.
33:54.105 --> 33:57.855
Winds, 3 o'clock, 10 kilometers,
storm climb 1.2 kilometers,
33:57.938 --> 34:02.188
traffic ahead of you, hyena formation
climbing passing 1.5 kilometers.
34:22.438 --> 34:25.730
0800 IST. 9th squadron. Dash, Nishi.
34:25.813 --> 34:28.188
- Sir.
- Hyena 1 and Hyena 2,
34:28.271 --> 34:30.730
you'll be bombing point 4065.
34:30.813 --> 34:34.396
You'll enter from the eastern heading
and exit from the west east.
34:37.980 --> 34:41.105
Hyena formation over IP,
now we're moving towards the target.
34:41.188 --> 34:43.230
Hyena formation breaking off.
34:46.230 --> 34:47.563
- Ahuja, Dhali.
- Sir.
34:47.646 --> 34:51.855
Hercules 1 and Hercules 2,
will hold at 55 kilometers southeast.
34:52.521 --> 34:56.230
One you have the RT confirmation,
you'll cross the target area.
34:56.313 --> 35:00.063
You'll cross the target area in 2 minutes,
and do a bomb damage assessment.
35:00.146 --> 35:02.146
Hercules, stand by
for bombing confirmation.
35:02.230 --> 35:04.688
Hercules standing by. Hit them hard, boys.
35:28.438 --> 35:29.521
- Captain Wahid.
- Yes, sir.
35:29.605 --> 35:33.105
Get the Stinger out. And everyone else,
go hide in the bunkers.
35:34.438 --> 35:35.521
Fazal.
35:38.063 --> 35:39.271
Stop, stop, stop.
35:53.896 --> 35:56.105
- Captain Wahid, hurry up.
- We're doing it, sir.
36:00.646 --> 36:02.563
What are you doing? Hurry up!
36:02.646 --> 36:04.271
Yes, sir, I'm trying to Lock it.
36:05.771 --> 36:07.105
Hurry up, they're getting away!
36:08.105 --> 36:09.313
Fire!
36:13.105 --> 36:13.938
Oh shit!
36:15.521 --> 36:18.730
Stinger fire suspected,
climbing to get out of missile range.
36:18.813 --> 36:20.146
Hyena 1 climb.
36:28.855 --> 36:29.896
How did you miss that?
36:29.980 --> 36:32.271
Sir, I fired without locking in
on the target.
36:40.480 --> 36:44.271
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!
Hyena 2 engine flame out. Ejecting!
36:50.396 --> 36:52.271
Rasool, connect me to Skardu.
36:55.230 --> 36:57.396
- What happened?
- Sir, Nishi's jet flamed out.
36:57.480 --> 37:00.105
He was climbing 25,000 feet, sir,
to avoid SAMs.
37:05.855 --> 37:07.021
Ground all jets immediately.
37:08.896 --> 37:12.146
Hercules formation,
Abort mission. Abort mission.
37:12.855 --> 37:15.355
Hercules, if you read me,
return to base immediately.
37:15.438 --> 37:17.105
Hostile fire reported in the area.
37:17.188 --> 37:18.271
Hyena 2 has ejected.
37:18.355 --> 37:20.688
Copy that. Khan, has he ejected safely?
37:20.771 --> 37:22.480
Negative. We do not have his coordinates.
37:22.563 --> 37:24.771
We are in the sector.
We'll try to look for him, Khan,
37:24.855 --> 37:27.230
There are stingers out there.
You have only cameras.
37:27.313 --> 37:30.771
We have GPS along with cameras, sir.
We can tell you his exact coordinates.
37:30.855 --> 37:32.563
You do not have any protection.
37:32.646 --> 37:35.355
Return to base immediately.
It is too risky.
37:36.521 --> 37:38.021
Hyena 1 is returning to base.
37:38.105 --> 37:40.313
Negative. We cannot keep Hyena 2 behind.
37:40.396 --> 37:42.146
You're deviating from your mission.
37:42.230 --> 37:44.938
Will you please stop arguing with me,
Khan. I need five minutes.
37:45.021 --> 37:46.188
I will find Nishi.
37:51.105 --> 37:53.480
Hercules, Let's do this. Fuel check.
37:53.563 --> 37:54.730
Roger.
37:54.813 --> 37:56.063
Hercules 1, Joker.
37:56.146 --> 37:57.063
I have fuel.
37:57.146 --> 37:58.313
Hercules 2, fuel check.
37:58.396 --> 38:00.313
Hercules 2, Joker.
38:00.396 --> 38:02.855
Correction. My needle just jumped.
38:02.938 --> 38:05.396
Be clear, Hercules 2, Joker or thirsty?
38:06.605 --> 38:07.605
It's thirsty, sir.
38:07.688 --> 38:09.730
Sorry, but the fuel suddenly dropped.
38:09.813 --> 38:10.896
We'll have to go back.
38:10.980 --> 38:12.146
You will have to go back.
38:12.230 --> 38:14.230
Hercules 1,
you need to abort this as well.
38:14.313 --> 38:17.938
Negative. Nishi is alone out there.
I can't come back without him.
38:18.021 --> 38:19.271
Sir, but it's too risky.
38:19.355 --> 38:21.355
You don't enough fuel. Hercules 2,
38:21.980 --> 38:22.938
you can be a liability.
38:23.021 --> 38:24.938
Yeah, but there has to be someone
to cover you.
38:25.021 --> 38:26.230
It's too risky out there.
38:26.313 --> 38:29.605
That's an order, Hercules 2.
Return to base.
38:32.521 --> 38:34.896
Chin up, soldier.
I'll see you in 20 minutes.
38:35.730 --> 38:36.813
We'll have coffee.
38:38.396 --> 38:39.355
Take care, sir.
38:41.855 --> 38:43.146
Hercules 2, breaking off.
39:15.355 --> 39:16.355
I can't see a thing.
39:18.146 --> 39:20.771
I don't have clear visual.
Need to fly lower, sir.
39:20.855 --> 39:23.021
No Hercules 1, you can't. It's too risky
39:23.105 --> 39:24.730
and you don't have too much fuel left.
39:25.605 --> 39:27.230
I have fuel for one more pass.
39:29.355 --> 39:30.188
I got this, sir.
39:50.021 --> 39:51.230
Another jet's here.
39:52.771 --> 39:56.188
Load the SAM again, hurry up.
This time lock the target before you fire.
40:02.188 --> 40:03.105
It's here.
40:15.605 --> 40:17.605
I have visual. Wreckage spotted.
40:17.688 --> 40:19.271
Khan, stand by for coordinates.
40:20.230 --> 40:21.271
Copy coordinates.
40:21.355 --> 40:25.855
343833 north, 763524 east.
40:25.938 --> 40:28.355
Roger that, Hercules 1.
Now get the hell out of there.
40:28.438 --> 40:29.605
Roger, will do that.
40:33.271 --> 40:34.646
- Ready, Captain?
- Rady, sir.
40:34.730 --> 40:36.188
This time he shouldn't get away.
40:52.813 --> 40:54.021
Stinger spotted.
41:26.938 --> 41:29.271
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Stinger hit!
41:30.063 --> 41:32.730
Roger that, Hercules 1.
We got you on radar. Call ejecting.
41:48.521 --> 41:51.563
Ahuja, can you hear me?
Ahuja, can you hear me?
41:56.563 --> 41:59.230
Losing control.
Looking for valley to eject.
42:02.230 --> 42:05.105
Copy coordinates. 344108 north.
42:05.188 --> 42:07.271
762226 east.
42:07.355 --> 42:09.230
Roger that, Hercules 1. Now call eject.
42:09.313 --> 42:10.230
Ejecting now.
