00:00:15.105 --> 00:00:17.146 align:center
How can we impact the exact location?

00:00:19.938 --> 00:00:21.521 align:center
Sir, there is some confusion.

00:00:22.771 --> 00:00:25.063 align:center
The same coordinates as today
have come back for tomorrow,

00:00:25.146 --> 00:00:26.271 align:center
including point 4065.

00:00:27.855 --> 00:00:29.146 align:center
The Army told us to stop bombing

00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:31.271 align:center
because they wanted
to commence the ground assault--

00:00:31.355 --> 00:00:32.271 align:center
They did.

00:00:32.355 --> 00:00:35.271 align:center
But the moment they climbed the hill,
they were ambushed.

00:00:36.063 --> 00:00:38.855 align:center
Unfortunately, it's not just point 4065,

00:00:38.938 --> 00:00:41.188 align:center
it's with every peak that we have bombed.

00:00:41.771 --> 00:00:43.105 align:center
But how's that possible, Sir?

00:00:43.188 --> 00:00:45.355 align:center
70% of our bombs have been on target.

00:00:45.438 --> 00:00:47.063 align:center
Bombs are falling on the peaks,

00:00:47.146 --> 00:00:49.355 align:center
<i>but because</i>
<i>of our 100-to-150-meter error,</i>

00:00:49.438 --> 00:00:52.188 align:center
<i>they are not directly</i>
<i>destroying the bunkers.</i>

00:00:52.271 --> 00:00:54.771 align:center
<i>And what we gather</i>
<i>from the enemy's RT intercepts</i>

00:00:54.855 --> 00:00:56.855 align:center
<i>is that the shrapnel from our bomb blasts</i>

00:00:56.938 --> 00:00:59.188 align:center
<i>isn't penetrating the bunkers</i>
<i>which are made of stone.</i>

00:00:59.271 --> 00:01:01.438 align:center
<i>So their strategy is very simple now.</i>

00:01:01.521 --> 00:01:03.021 align:center
<i>The moment they hear our jets coming,</i>

00:01:03.105 --> 00:01:05.438 align:center
<i>they go and hide in the bunkers.</i>

00:01:05.521 --> 00:01:08.146 align:center
<i>And when our army climbs there,</i>
<i>they emerge from them again.</i>

00:01:10.438 --> 00:01:12.855 align:center
Which simply means that…

00:01:12.938 --> 00:01:16.105 align:center
our so-called sophisticated
high-altitude strategy…

00:01:17.438 --> 00:01:20.188 align:center
…is being neutralized
by some pre-historic rocks.

00:01:21.646 --> 00:01:23.730 align:center
<i>The Pakistan Army treated the bodies</i>

00:01:23.813 --> 00:01:26.063 align:center
<i>of our martyred soldiers</i>
<i>with gross inhumanity</i>

00:01:26.146 --> 00:01:27.105 align:center
<i>in the Kargil sector.</i>

00:01:27.188 --> 00:01:28.605 align:center
<i>According to our Defense forces,</i>

00:01:28.688 --> 00:01:30.855 align:center
<i>these bodies don't bear</i>
<i>only bullet injuries.</i>

00:01:30.938 --> 00:01:32.480 align:center
<i>The bodies carry cigarette burn marks,</i>

00:01:32.563 --> 00:01:34.063 align:center
<i>pierced eardrums with hot spokes,</i>

00:01:34.146 --> 00:01:36.771 align:center
<i>and gouged eyeballs,</i>
<i>and brutally cut body parts</i>

00:01:36.855 --> 00:01:37.938 align:center
<i>have been reported as well.</i>

00:01:38.021 --> 00:01:39.563 align:center
<i>Amidst growing public outrage,</i>

00:01:39.646 --> 00:01:41.605 align:center
<i>the Indian Army said that</i>
<i>the Pakistan Army</i>

00:01:41.688 --> 00:01:43.188 align:center
<i>will be given a befitting reply</i>

00:01:43.271 --> 00:01:45.938 align:center
<i>for their inhuman brutality</i>
<i>within the next 48 hours.</i>

00:01:46.021 --> 00:01:47.688 align:center
Forty-eight hours, my foot!

00:01:48.813 --> 00:01:50.813 align:center
Even 48 years aren't enough.

00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:04.063 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:03:06.271 --> 00:03:07.188 align:center
We tried.

00:03:16.813 --> 00:03:17.896 align:center
<i>Jai Hind, </i>Sir.

00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:21.646 align:center
One of the captured Pakistani soldiers
has regained consciousness.

00:03:22.521 --> 00:03:23.438 align:center
Tony, I'll see you.

00:03:32.271 --> 00:03:34.063 align:center
Stop! Get out of the way!

00:03:34.146 --> 00:03:35.563 align:center
- Stop!
- Boys!

00:03:35.646 --> 00:03:37.313 align:center
Let us go inside, Sir.

00:03:37.396 --> 00:03:40.355 align:center
We will do to them
what they have done to our brothers.

00:03:40.438 --> 00:03:41.605 align:center
This is the Indian Army.

00:03:43.271 --> 00:03:44.980 align:center
We're all angry about it.

00:03:46.271 --> 00:03:49.396 align:center
But whatever we do to them,
we only do it on the battlefield.

00:03:50.188 --> 00:03:52.021 align:center
Not to an enemy who's half-dead.

00:04:01.313 --> 00:04:03.438 align:center
Listen, you have two options.

00:04:03.521 --> 00:04:04.646 align:center
Either give us a confession,

00:04:04.730 --> 00:04:06.646 align:center
or my men are waiting for you outside.

00:04:07.605 --> 00:04:10.021 align:center
And they all know that
you're part of the 12 NLI.

00:04:11.646 --> 00:04:14.146 align:center
If I let them loose on you,

00:04:14.230 --> 00:04:15.896 align:center
- then--
- Let them do it, Sir.

00:04:17.313 --> 00:04:19.021 align:center
I have also killed their brothers.

00:04:20.771 --> 00:04:22.063 align:center
Aren't you afraid of dying?

00:04:22.146 --> 00:04:24.355 align:center
You can't kill a dead man twice.

00:04:24.438 --> 00:04:26.563 align:center
So what did a dead man get
by doing all of this?

00:04:27.855 --> 00:04:29.188 align:center
The same thing…

00:04:30.188 --> 00:04:31.605 align:center
that you all get.

00:04:33.688 --> 00:04:34.730 align:center
A salary.

00:04:37.730 --> 00:04:39.230 align:center
Now you won't get that either.

00:04:40.938 --> 00:04:42.646 align:center
The 12 NLI's commander,

00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:46.688 align:center
the DGMO, General Musharraf,
all of them have given a statement

00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:49.896 align:center
that all of you are not
from the Pakistan Army.

00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:52.313 align:center
Which country's army
were you fighting for?

00:04:52.396 --> 00:04:54.605 align:center
They're not even claiming you
as one of their own.

00:04:54.688 --> 00:04:56.438 align:center
You're going to rot in a prison here.

00:04:57.105 --> 00:05:02.230 align:center
Your poor family won't even know
where you are or what happened to you,

00:05:02.313 --> 00:05:04.563 align:center
what state you were in when you died.

00:05:12.313 --> 00:05:13.313 align:center
Sir.

00:05:14.646 --> 00:05:17.730 align:center
I… I want to tell you something.

00:05:23.688 --> 00:05:26.105 align:center
So, do you think
after this soldier's confession,

00:05:27.146 --> 00:05:29.480 align:center
we could finally get permission
to cross the LoC?

00:05:29.563 --> 00:05:31.813 align:center
Yeah, we've got all the army IDs.

00:05:31.896 --> 00:05:33.813 align:center
We also have all the military documents.

00:05:33.896 --> 00:05:36.105 align:center
In fact, we have recovered
the SAMS as well,

00:05:36.188 --> 00:05:38.021 align:center
which were used to attack you.

00:05:39.521 --> 00:05:44.271 align:center
But if a country's army is disowning
their own soldiers so blatantly like this,

00:05:44.355 --> 00:05:46.896 align:center
then-then what good is this proof?

00:05:49.938 --> 00:05:50.896 align:center
I'm surprised.

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:53.063 align:center
- I never thought a country's army--
- Sartaj!

00:05:54.938 --> 00:05:57.938 align:center
Can I just have a look at these SAMS?

00:06:11.771 --> 00:06:14.396 align:center
This doesn't seem to have radar cueing.

00:06:18.896 --> 00:06:19.813 align:center
Sir.

00:06:23.563 --> 00:06:24.563 align:center
Sartaj.

00:06:27.563 --> 00:06:30.521 align:center
I don't think the army would need
to cross the LoC anymore.

00:06:31.438 --> 00:06:34.313 align:center
Because we don't have to fly
above the clouds any longer.

00:06:34.896 --> 00:06:37.396 align:center
We can now hit them from a low altitude.

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:38.855 align:center
But…

00:06:38.938 --> 00:06:41.063 align:center
Wouldn't you be
within the range of their SAMS?

00:06:41.146 --> 00:06:42.438 align:center
Isn't that too risky, Tony?

00:06:42.521 --> 00:06:44.646 align:center
These are heat-seeking missiles.

00:06:44.730 --> 00:06:46.188 align:center
They don't have radar cueing.

00:06:46.271 --> 00:06:48.188 align:center
The target has to be locked visually.

00:06:48.271 --> 00:06:51.855 align:center
If they can't even see us in the night,
how will they lock on to us?

00:06:51.938 --> 00:06:54.813 align:center
Sartaj, I need a secure line.

00:06:55.730 --> 00:06:56.771 align:center
<i>Chou.</i>

00:06:56.855 --> 00:06:58.521 align:center
<i>You're flying tonight, aren't you?</i>

00:06:58.605 --> 00:06:59.480 align:center
Yes, Sir.

00:06:59.563 --> 00:07:01.021 align:center
One change.

00:07:02.188 --> 00:07:03.771 align:center
I'll fly with you tonight.

00:07:03.855 --> 00:07:05.938 align:center
We need to do a little experiment.

00:07:15.563 --> 00:07:18.813 align:center
Releasing in three, two, one.

00:07:18.896 --> 00:07:20.438 align:center
Now. Bombs away.

00:07:21.563 --> 00:07:22.980 align:center
Bombs away.

00:07:29.188 --> 00:07:31.605 align:center
<i>Job done, Arrows. Return to base now.</i>

00:07:31.688 --> 00:07:32.521 align:center
Copy that.

00:07:48.813 --> 00:07:50.980 align:center
Arrow 1, confirm losing altitude.

00:07:51.063 --> 00:07:51.896 align:center
<i>Checking tensions.</i>

00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:52.980 align:center
Negative, Sir.

00:07:53.063 --> 00:07:54.771 align:center
We are still above the clouds.

00:07:54.855 --> 00:07:56.688 align:center
<i>The radar must be glitching out.</i>

00:08:04.563 --> 00:08:06.521 align:center
Hide in the bunkers, quick!

00:08:06.605 --> 00:08:08.188 align:center
Come on, come on!

00:08:14.355 --> 00:08:16.230 align:center
Sir, communications secure on Channel 2.

00:08:16.313 --> 00:08:18.355 align:center
Copy that. Let's enter the target valley.

00:08:18.438 --> 00:08:19.271 align:center
Roger that.

00:08:24.146 --> 00:08:25.646 align:center
1500 meters above the target, Sir.

00:08:25.730 --> 00:08:27.355 align:center
I see the peak, not the bunkers.

00:08:27.438 --> 00:08:29.146 align:center
- Let's go lower, Chou.
- Roger, Sir.

00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:32.313 align:center
The jets sound quite close to us today.

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.938 align:center
Chou, can you see anything?

00:08:35.605 --> 00:08:37.938 align:center
No, Sir, negative. Let's go further down.

00:08:38.021 --> 00:08:39.730 align:center
Okay, Chou, but let's be careful.

00:08:39.813 --> 00:08:41.396 align:center
We are in their missile range now.

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.521 align:center
Roger that.

00:08:49.521 --> 00:08:51.396 align:center
Okay, that's it, Chou.

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.980 align:center
Target acquired. 1000 meters.
Let's get the hell out of here!

00:08:54.063 --> 00:08:55.271 align:center
Roger that, Sir.

00:08:58.688 --> 00:09:01.105 align:center
<i>Sir, I have checked</i>
<i>their stinger missiles personally.</i>

00:09:01.188 --> 00:09:04.355 align:center
They don't have radar homing.
They're heat-seeking missiles.

00:09:04.438 --> 00:09:06.313 align:center
<i>We can take advantage of this situation,</i>

00:09:06.396 --> 00:09:09.938 align:center
<i>and fly below the clouds in the night</i>
<i>and hit their bunkers directly.</i>

00:09:10.021 --> 00:09:11.396 align:center
Sorry, come again, Tony.

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.063 align:center
You want to do visual guided bombing
at night, in these mountains?

00:09:15.146 --> 00:09:16.646 align:center
<i>We are in the moon phase, Sir.</i>

00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:18.938 align:center
This white ocean glows in the night.

00:09:19.021 --> 00:09:20.938 align:center
Visibility is not a problem at all.

00:09:21.021 --> 00:09:23.271 align:center
But Tony,
by the time you finish the trials,

00:09:23.355 --> 00:09:25.271 align:center
the moon cycle will be over, won't it?

00:09:25.355 --> 00:09:27.480 align:center
<i>We'll have to wait</i>
<i>another 15 days for the next cycle,</i>

00:09:27.563 --> 00:09:28.896 align:center
<i>and we don't have that much time.</i>

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:32.021 align:center
I'm sorry, but we have already
conducted the trial

00:09:33.063 --> 00:09:34.855 align:center
during tonight's night bombing.

00:09:35.896 --> 00:09:37.313 align:center
<i>We can start right away.</i>

00:09:37.396 --> 00:09:39.105 align:center
<i>That was reckless, Tony.</i>

00:09:39.813 --> 00:09:42.063 align:center
<i>But they will never expect this.</i>

00:09:42.146 --> 00:09:43.271 align:center
<i>So let's do it.</i>

00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:47.688 align:center
<i>Low altitude night bombing</i>
<i>is officially on.</i>

00:10:09.646 --> 00:10:11.688 align:center
We're in the sector. Let's go down.

00:10:11.771 --> 00:10:12.896 align:center
Roger.

00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:13.896 align:center
Descending now.

00:10:26.063 --> 00:10:28.021 align:center
They're coming close again.

00:10:31.188 --> 00:10:33.521 align:center
Captain, get the SAM out.

00:10:33.605 --> 00:10:34.771 align:center
Something is wrong.

00:10:35.646 --> 00:10:37.605 align:center
We don't know anything at all
about their plan.

00:10:38.521 --> 00:10:40.355 align:center
We should hide in the bunkers.

00:10:41.313 --> 00:10:43.813 align:center
If they dare to come
into our missile range…

00:10:45.313 --> 00:10:46.938 align:center
then like the last time,

00:10:47.021 --> 00:10:48.480 align:center
we will just shoot them down.

00:10:48.563 --> 00:10:50.230 align:center
Get the other SAM out as well.

00:10:50.313 --> 00:10:52.563 align:center
And everyone else,
go hide inside the bunkers! Hurry up!

00:11:10.438 --> 00:11:14.313 align:center
2000 meters above target.
Let's go down to 1000.

00:11:14.396 --> 00:11:15.605 align:center
Roger.

00:11:23.646 --> 00:11:24.688 align:center
Hurry up.

00:11:26.730 --> 00:11:29.063 align:center
They can come from any direction.

00:11:29.146 --> 00:11:30.813 align:center
Where should I aim?

00:11:32.771 --> 00:11:35.313 align:center
Arrow 2, I have a visual of the peak.

00:11:35.396 --> 00:11:36.563 align:center
Visual confirmed.

00:11:36.646 --> 00:11:39.355 align:center
Sir, I think
they are coming from that side.

00:11:39.438 --> 00:11:41.396 align:center
Aim there.

00:11:45.605 --> 00:11:47.813 align:center
Arrow 2, standby to acquired target.

00:11:47.896 --> 00:11:48.813 align:center
On standby.

00:11:48.896 --> 00:11:50.105 align:center
See the jet?

00:11:50.188 --> 00:11:51.813 align:center
I can't, Sir. It's very dark.

00:11:57.813 --> 00:11:59.563 align:center
The jets are coming towards us, Sir!

00:12:01.646 --> 00:12:02.813 align:center
Try and lock onto them now.

00:12:02.896 --> 00:12:04.938 align:center
Yes, Sir.
I'm trying to lock in on the target,

00:12:05.021 --> 00:12:06.146 align:center
but it's not happening.

00:12:08.521 --> 00:12:11.521 align:center
Arrow 2, you have
only six seconds after the release

00:12:11.605 --> 00:12:13.021 align:center
- to climb up.
- Copy that.

00:12:13.105 --> 00:12:15.855 align:center
If you fire without locking target,
we won't hit them.

00:12:15.938 --> 00:12:17.605 align:center
I don't think we have another option.

00:12:18.896 --> 00:12:21.188 align:center
- Arrow 2, bombs on standby.
- Roger.

00:12:22.730 --> 00:12:24.021 align:center
Fire!

00:12:26.646 --> 00:12:27.480 align:center
Bombs away.

00:12:27.563 --> 00:12:28.605 align:center
Bombs away.

00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:33.688 align:center
Pull up, exercise caution! Reheat!

00:13:08.063 --> 00:13:09.688 align:center
Flying Officer Dhali,

00:13:09.771 --> 00:13:12.063 align:center
you've become the youngest pilot
in the Indian Air Force

00:13:12.146 --> 00:13:15.063 align:center
to carry out low altitude night bombing
in a war.

00:13:15.146 --> 00:13:16.730 align:center
Thank you for trusting me, Sir.

00:13:16.813 --> 00:13:17.855 align:center
This was a real honor.

00:13:27.605 --> 00:13:29.355 align:center
Boys, you've done it.

00:13:30.146 --> 00:13:35.105 align:center
Enemy positions on point 4065 have been
completely destroyed by your bombs.

00:13:35.188 --> 00:13:38.063 align:center
The army will reclaim that peak
within 24 hours.

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:40.980 align:center
This will change
the face of the Kargil war.

00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:47.146 align:center
It was just one peak today.

00:13:50.646 --> 00:13:53.146 align:center
We still have
another ten moon nights to go, Sir.

00:13:56.605 --> 00:13:57.730 align:center
Bombs away.

00:13:58.938 --> 00:14:00.480 align:center
Bombs away.

00:14:07.688 --> 00:14:09.605 align:center
<i>We've lost the Bashir Post.</i>

00:14:09.688 --> 00:14:12.355 align:center
<i>We won't be able to send supplies</i>
<i>to any peak in the Yaldor sector.</i>

00:14:13.396 --> 00:14:16.146 align:center
<i>It's been almost two months</i>
<i>since the Kargil war started.</i>

00:14:16.230 --> 00:14:19.730 align:center
<i>And now, with the Indian Air Force's</i>
<i>low altitude night bombing,</i>

00:14:19.813 --> 00:14:23.563 align:center
<i>it seems that the tide of this war</i>
<i>is turning in India's favor.</i>

00:14:23.646 --> 00:14:26.605 align:center
<i>Amidst the relentless</i>
<i>bombing by the Indian Airforce,</i>

00:14:26.688 --> 00:14:28.980 align:center
<i>now Kargil's mountains also echo</i>
<i>with the Bofors guns.</i>

00:14:29.063 --> 00:14:30.730 align:center
<i>With the help of these Bofors guns,</i>

00:14:30.813 --> 00:14:32.938 align:center
<i>the Indian Army</i>
<i>can now continuously shell</i>

00:14:33.021 --> 00:14:35.063 align:center
<i>enemy's positions around the clock.</i>

00:14:35.146 --> 00:14:37.813 align:center
<i>The defenses of the enemy have crumbled</i>

00:14:37.896 --> 00:14:41.771 align:center
<i>going through the relentless pressure</i>
<i>maintained by our ground forces</i>

00:14:41.855 --> 00:14:44.105 align:center
<i>and the heavy attrition caused</i>
<i>on the enemy</i>

00:14:44.188 --> 00:14:45.896 align:center
<i>by the effective air strikes</i>

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:48.563 align:center
<i>and the pounding</i>
<i>undertaken by our artillery.</i>

00:14:48.646 --> 00:14:50.605 align:center
<i>Pakistan has been suffering</i>

00:14:50.688 --> 00:14:52.313 align:center
<i>heavy losses on the battlefield,</i>

00:14:52.396 --> 00:14:55.396 align:center
<i>while their condition</i>
<i>on the diplomatic front has taken a hit.</i>

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.563 align:center
<i>Pakistan's claim that</i>
<i>the men fighting in Kargil</i>

00:14:57.646 --> 00:15:00.438 align:center
<i>are actually the Mujahideen</i>
<i>has now completely fallen apart.</i>

00:15:00.521 --> 00:15:02.563 align:center
<i>The PoW statements</i>
<i>clearly show that</i>

00:15:02.646 --> 00:15:05.396 align:center
<i>they're not the Mujahideen,</i>
<i>but in fact, Pakistani soldiers.</i>

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.146 align:center
<i>I am a soldier</i>
<i>with the 12 Northern Light Infantry.</i>

00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:10.980 align:center
<i>Initially, we used to have</i>
<i>a lot of ration and provisions,</i>

00:15:11.063 --> 00:15:12.355 align:center
<i>and enough ammunition.</i>

00:15:12.896 --> 00:15:15.896 align:center
<i>But, uh, when the Indian Army</i>
<i>started attacking us,</i>

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.813 align:center
<i>our seniors completely abandoned us.</i>

00:15:19.021 --> 00:15:21.313 align:center
<i>If the Indian Army</i>
<i>hadn't captured us, then…</i>

00:15:21.396 --> 00:15:23.938 align:center
<i>we would have definitely</i>
<i>died of starvation, Sir.</i>

00:15:24.021 --> 00:15:25.021 align:center
General Zia…

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:29.896 align:center
erase his name
from all the military records.

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:32.980 align:center
And tell Hassan, henceforth
whichever soldiers are sent there,

00:15:33.855 --> 00:15:36.688 align:center
all their ID cards
need to be to confiscated.

00:15:38.021 --> 00:15:39.771 align:center
Are we even winning this war?

00:15:42.313 --> 00:15:46.188 align:center
When has he ever told us the truth
about what is happening there, Sir?

00:15:46.271 --> 00:15:48.813 align:center
If you want to see
the reality of this war,

00:15:48.896 --> 00:15:50.313 align:center
you'll have to come with me.

00:15:50.896 --> 00:15:52.438 align:center
<i>In the last two weeks,</i>

00:15:52.521 --> 00:15:55.938 align:center
<i>due to the continuous operations</i>
<i>of the Indian Army and Indian Air Force,</i>

00:15:56.021 --> 00:15:58.688 align:center
<i>India has recaptured</i>
<i>almost all the peaks in Kargil</i>

00:15:58.771 --> 00:16:00.605 align:center
<i>that were captured by the Pakistan Army.</i>

00:16:00.688 --> 00:16:03.063 align:center
<i>But some important peaks</i>
<i>in Drass and Batalik,</i>

00:16:03.146 --> 00:16:07.521 align:center
<i>like the Tiger Hill and Point 4875,</i>
<i>are still occupied by Pakistan.</i>

00:16:27.688 --> 00:16:29.313 align:center
Welcome to Skardu, Sir.

00:16:30.438 --> 00:16:32.938 align:center
Mr. Nawaz is here
to see the truth of this war

00:16:33.021 --> 00:16:34.813 align:center
with his own eyes, General Hassan.

00:16:34.896 --> 00:16:37.730 align:center
It would be better
if nothing is hidden from him.

00:16:39.396 --> 00:16:40.896 align:center
Right, Sir.

00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:43.021 align:center
Let's, uh, go to the Officers' mess.

00:16:43.605 --> 00:16:45.063 align:center
I'll give you a full update there.

00:16:47.105 --> 00:16:48.063 align:center
General Hassan,

00:16:48.146 --> 00:16:51.313 align:center
the truth of a democracy
is seen at a polling booth,

00:16:51.396 --> 00:16:53.313 align:center
and the truth of war

00:16:53.396 --> 00:16:55.021 align:center
can only be seen inside a hospital.

00:17:07.896 --> 00:17:10.521 align:center
Sir, this tent was empty till yesterday.

00:17:10.605 --> 00:17:13.438 align:center
<i>But the Indian Air Force</i>
<i>carried out a big attack today,</i>

00:17:14.271 --> 00:17:16.771 align:center
<i>which left a lot of our soldiers injured.</i>

00:17:16.855 --> 00:17:19.313 align:center
<i>Otherwise, everything was under control.</i>

00:17:19.396 --> 00:17:21.230 align:center
<i>Pakistan is winning the war, Sir.</i>

00:17:42.563 --> 00:17:43.771 align:center
You call this winning?

00:17:46.938 --> 00:17:49.188 align:center
Shame on such an army

00:17:49.271 --> 00:17:51.646 align:center
that couldn't even be loyal
to its own soldiers.

00:18:02.021 --> 00:18:05.188 align:center
<i>Who gave Mr. Nawaz</i>
<i>permission to come to the base?</i>

00:18:05.271 --> 00:18:08.146 align:center
When Islamabad
isn't willing to support us in this cause,

00:18:08.230 --> 00:18:10.146 align:center
- then he has no right to come--
- <i>Sir.</i>

00:18:10.230 --> 00:18:12.813 align:center
The Aqil post has been lost.

00:18:12.896 --> 00:18:14.896 align:center
The Indian Air Force
is bombing through the night--

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.605 align:center
<i>Aziz has already briefed me.</i>

00:18:16.688 --> 00:18:18.688 align:center
Don't miss the big picture, Hassan.

00:18:19.271 --> 00:18:21.605 align:center
Sir, the big picture
is that we had no idea

00:18:21.688 --> 00:18:24.813 align:center
that such a small operation
would escalate into such a big war.

00:18:25.438 --> 00:18:27.230 align:center
All our assessments about the Indian Army

00:18:27.313 --> 00:18:29.813 align:center
and the Indian Air Force
has been absolutely wrong.

00:18:29.896 --> 00:18:31.313 align:center
And now the situation is such that

00:18:31.396 --> 00:18:34.063 align:center
the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force
are ready for a bloodbath.

00:18:34.146 --> 00:18:37.021 align:center
I want solutions, I don't want complaints.

00:18:37.813 --> 00:18:39.355 align:center
There's only one solution.

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.938 align:center
I think we should withdraw
from this war, Sir.

00:18:45.146 --> 00:18:46.688 align:center
Hassan, wasn't it your idea

00:18:46.771 --> 00:18:49.855 align:center
that we should go ahead
and capture all of these Indian posts?

00:18:49.938 --> 00:18:52.980 align:center
And I take full responsibility
for our loss in this war.

00:18:54.271 --> 00:18:55.230 align:center
<i>I'm sorry, Sir.</i>

00:18:56.688 --> 00:18:59.271 align:center
<i>I will not send</i>
<i>even one of my soldiers forward now.</i>

00:19:01.063 --> 00:19:03.730 align:center
My conscience isn't allowing me
to do this anymore.

00:19:07.021 --> 00:19:07.938 align:center
General Hassan…

00:19:09.646 --> 00:19:14.188 align:center
<i>I hereby relieve you and your conscience</i>
<i>from this operation.</i>

00:19:14.896 --> 00:19:18.480 align:center
<i>Now please hand over all your</i>
<i>responsibilities to General Mahmud.</i>

00:19:21.313 --> 00:19:22.396 align:center
That will be all.

00:19:23.271 --> 00:19:24.480 align:center
Sir.

00:19:32.188 --> 00:19:33.271 align:center
Pervez.

00:19:33.355 --> 00:19:34.646 align:center
Is everything okay?

00:19:37.438 --> 00:19:38.438 align:center
Everything is fine.

00:19:40.855 --> 00:19:44.146 align:center
<i>Pervez, the Pakistan Air Force</i>
<i>will not cross the LoC.</i>

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:48.271 align:center
Does that mean

00:19:49.063 --> 00:19:50.938 align:center
the Pakistan Airforce

00:19:51.021 --> 00:19:54.188 align:center
isn't going to do anything
in the biggest operation of the country?

00:19:54.271 --> 00:19:56.980 align:center
Did you consult with the Air Force
or the Navy

00:19:57.063 --> 00:19:59.021 align:center
before you started such a big operation?

00:19:59.105 --> 00:20:00.813 align:center
Forget consulting with us.

00:20:00.896 --> 00:20:03.313 align:center
You didn't even think
it was necessary to inform us.

00:20:03.396 --> 00:20:05.313 align:center
And now that your plan is failing,

00:20:06.063 --> 00:20:08.980 align:center
that's when you suddenly remembered
the Pakistan Air Force.

00:20:10.188 --> 00:20:11.896 align:center
In that case, Mr. Mehdi,

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:14.271 align:center
we should sing praises
for the Indian Air Force.

00:20:15.105 --> 00:20:16.146 align:center
Mr. Mehdi,

00:20:16.688 --> 00:20:18.855 align:center
the Indian Air Force

00:20:18.938 --> 00:20:21.855 align:center
must have also joined this operation
at a moment's notice, right?

00:20:22.521 --> 00:20:25.230 align:center
As Air Chief, my answer is clear.

00:20:25.313 --> 00:20:27.896 align:center
I refuse to send my pilots

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:30.313 align:center
on such suicide missions
on a terrain like this.

00:20:31.021 --> 00:20:34.813 align:center
But, Pervez, since I'm your friend,
I can do you a favor

00:20:34.896 --> 00:20:38.480 align:center
with which the Indian Air Force
will not be able to target your bunkers.

00:20:49.063 --> 00:20:51.021 align:center
Arrow 2, preparing to descend.

00:20:51.105 --> 00:20:52.105 align:center
Roger.

00:20:59.855 --> 00:21:01.771 align:center
Arrow 2, approaching target.

00:21:01.855 --> 00:21:03.188 align:center
On your tail, Sir.

00:21:15.813 --> 00:21:17.146 align:center
There. Aim there!

00:21:24.271 --> 00:21:25.313 align:center
Approaching target,

00:21:25.396 --> 00:21:26.688 align:center
- stay on my tail.
- Roger.

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.521 align:center
There!

00:21:31.230 --> 00:21:33.896 align:center
Arrow 2. Bombs on standby.

00:21:47.813 --> 00:21:49.313 align:center
Missile! Pull up! Pull up! Pull up!

00:21:49.396 --> 00:21:50.980 align:center
The missile's range is 10,000 feet.

00:21:51.063 --> 00:21:52.855 align:center
If we climb higher,
it won't reach us.

00:21:52.938 --> 00:21:54.063 align:center
Copy that!

00:21:56.605 --> 00:21:58.146 align:center
Pull up, keep pulling up!

00:21:58.230 --> 00:21:59.313 align:center
Pulling up!

00:22:03.563 --> 00:22:04.438 align:center
Hard right.

00:22:18.105 --> 00:22:19.438 align:center
What the hell?

00:22:19.521 --> 00:22:21.146 align:center
How are they able to aim in the dark?

00:22:21.230 --> 00:22:22.271 align:center
No idea, Sir.

00:22:22.355 --> 00:22:23.896 align:center
Thankfully, you spotted it on time.

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.980 align:center
It was sheer luck.

00:22:25.063 --> 00:22:26.896 align:center
I could spot the missile
because it was dark.

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:29.021 align:center
Let's get the hell out of here, Arrow 2.

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.938 align:center
Sir.

00:22:41.396 --> 00:22:42.271 align:center
<i>Jai Hind, </i>Sir.

00:22:42.355 --> 00:22:43.355 align:center
At ease.

00:22:49.521 --> 00:22:55.105 align:center
Skardu Base and Point 4875
had an RT conversation

00:22:55.188 --> 00:22:58.063 align:center
which the Military Intelligence
has intercepted.

00:22:58.813 --> 00:22:59.896 align:center
Please.

00:23:03.313 --> 00:23:05.063 align:center
<i>Base to 4875, fighters approaching.</i>

00:23:05.146 --> 00:23:06.646 align:center
<i>Two fighter jets approaching.</i>

00:23:06.730 --> 00:23:07.855 align:center
<i>- Get the SAMS.</i>
- <i>Okay.</i>

00:23:07.938 --> 00:23:09.730 align:center
<i>Tell me their position and direction.</i>

00:23:09.813 --> 00:23:12.855 align:center
<i>030 radial, losing altitude 650 kph.</i>

00:23:12.938 --> 00:23:15.063 align:center
<i>Expect visual contact in 30 seconds.</i>

00:23:17.271 --> 00:23:20.563 align:center
The Pakistani Air Force
is installing radars near the peaks.

00:23:21.605 --> 00:23:24.313 align:center
Now, whenever our jets fly low in Drass,

00:23:24.396 --> 00:23:26.646 align:center
they will know exactly
which heading we're coming from.

00:23:26.730 --> 00:23:28.271 align:center
This changes everything.

00:23:29.605 --> 00:23:31.980 align:center
Our surprise element has been compromised.

00:23:32.563 --> 00:23:37.271 align:center
<i>We wanted to reclaim Point 5280</i>
<i>during the last sorties of the moon cycle.</i>

00:23:37.355 --> 00:23:38.938 align:center
<i>Because this peak in Kaksar</i>

00:23:39.021 --> 00:23:41.230 align:center
<i>was a link for them</i>
<i>between Drass and Batalik.</i>

00:23:41.771 --> 00:23:45.355 align:center
<i>It was choking the NH1</i>
<i>for the Indian Army already,</i>

00:23:45.438 --> 00:23:48.355 align:center
<i>but it's quite clear</i>
<i>from Military Intelligence</i>

00:23:48.438 --> 00:23:51.855 align:center
<i>this is also the route for fresh</i>
<i>reinforcements for the Pakistan Army</i>

00:23:51.938 --> 00:23:55.355 align:center
<i>to all Drass and Batalik peaks</i>
<i>including Tiger Hill.</i>

00:23:56.105 --> 00:23:58.355 align:center
<i>We have only two options left.</i>

00:23:58.438 --> 00:24:01.605 align:center
<i>Either the Mirage-2000 strikes</i>
<i>from outside the missile range,</i>

00:24:01.688 --> 00:24:06.063 align:center
<i>or our army climbs up inch by inch</i>
<i>and fights a long battle.</i>

00:24:06.146 --> 00:24:07.980 align:center
This will really hurt us.

00:24:08.063 --> 00:24:11.771 align:center
But there are no
unconventional strategies left to try.

00:24:11.855 --> 00:24:15.105 align:center
It's time for the Golden Arrows
to stand down.

00:24:15.730 --> 00:24:17.438 align:center
Tony?

00:24:19.063 --> 00:24:19.938 align:center
Sir.

00:24:36.063 --> 00:24:36.896 align:center
Sir.

00:24:38.230 --> 00:24:39.646 align:center
We can hit Point 5280.

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:44.688 align:center
What did you not understand, Baldy?

00:24:45.813 --> 00:24:47.480 align:center
They have radars now.

00:24:47.563 --> 00:24:49.063 align:center
Didn't you hear Patney Sir?

00:24:49.146 --> 00:24:51.813 align:center
Exactly, Sir.
But we can manage to trick those radars.

00:24:52.521 --> 00:24:53.438 align:center
Arrows.

00:24:53.521 --> 00:24:54.771 align:center
We've done this before.

00:24:55.438 --> 00:24:57.271 align:center
Ahuja Sir's transport jet strategy.

00:24:57.355 --> 00:24:58.480 align:center
Yes.

00:24:58.563 --> 00:25:00.063 align:center
We can do it, Sir.

00:25:00.146 --> 00:25:01.730 align:center
And we should do it today.

00:25:01.813 --> 00:25:03.563 align:center
Tonight's the last night
of the moon phase.

00:25:03.646 --> 00:25:05.896 align:center
Ahuja Sir had trained us
for this very day.

00:25:07.438 --> 00:25:08.271 align:center
He trained you.

00:25:09.313 --> 00:25:10.146 align:center
Where?

00:25:10.230 --> 00:25:11.063 align:center
When?

00:25:11.146 --> 00:25:12.313 align:center
On flatlands?

00:25:12.396 --> 00:25:14.230 align:center
During the day? In peace time?

00:25:15.230 --> 00:25:18.688 align:center
The transport formation
is a very difficult formation in itself.

00:25:18.771 --> 00:25:20.896 align:center
And we are supposed to be flying it

00:25:20.980 --> 00:25:24.396 align:center
in the most dangerous mountains
in the world, and that too at night,

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.938 align:center
in the middle of a war? Get real boys.

00:25:28.896 --> 00:25:29.730 align:center
Sir.

00:25:30.730 --> 00:25:32.396 align:center
Whatever we have done in this war so far,

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.771 align:center
day bombing, night bombing,
high altitude, low altitude,

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.188 align:center
we didn't practice for any of that either.

00:25:38.271 --> 00:25:40.063 align:center
This is not the same, Dhali.

00:25:40.146 --> 00:25:42.438 align:center
One needs a different level of readiness

00:25:42.521 --> 00:25:45.355 align:center
for such a difficult formation
to be pulled off in such a terrain.

00:25:45.438 --> 00:25:46.521 align:center
And we are, Sir.

00:25:47.396 --> 00:25:48.313 align:center
We are fully ready.

00:25:48.396 --> 00:25:51.313 align:center
Baldy, you haven't flown
even a single sortie here.

00:25:52.438 --> 00:25:54.230 align:center
I'm sorry, Sir, but that's not my fault.

00:25:55.438 --> 00:25:57.605 align:center
I have memorized all maps ten times over.

00:25:57.688 --> 00:26:00.188 align:center
But you didn't trust me
with a single sortie.

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:02.271 align:center
Which is fine, that's your call.

00:26:02.355 --> 00:26:04.480 align:center
But readiness is not about
the number of sorties--

00:26:04.563 --> 00:26:06.146 align:center
Madhavi is pregnant, Baldy.

00:26:17.396 --> 00:26:18.230 align:center
Sir.

00:26:19.271 --> 00:26:20.563 align:center
I don't see the connection, Sir.

00:26:21.396 --> 00:26:22.646 align:center
That's my personal matter.

00:26:22.730 --> 00:26:25.396 align:center
This can't be the reason for you
to stop me from flying.

00:26:30.605 --> 00:26:32.105 align:center
Baldy is right.

00:26:32.855 --> 00:26:35.646 align:center
This is the life
we all signed up for, Sir.

00:26:36.230 --> 00:26:37.980 align:center
Let this be my call, Sir.

00:26:38.688 --> 00:26:40.230 align:center
Baldy should fly.

00:26:42.938 --> 00:26:44.980 align:center
Sir, whether anyone
has been trained or not,

00:26:45.063 --> 00:26:47.563 align:center
we've definitely learnt
how to back each other up.

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:50.313 align:center
Sir, you told me once.

00:26:50.396 --> 00:26:51.980 align:center
No one's ever ready for war.

00:26:53.646 --> 00:26:55.188 align:center
If we go down, we go down together.

00:27:10.396 --> 00:27:11.230 align:center
Chou.

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.688 align:center
Ready the jets now.

00:27:18.230 --> 00:27:19.646 align:center
The boys are ready.

00:27:22.021 --> 00:27:22.938 align:center
Arrows…

00:27:24.021 --> 00:27:25.896 align:center
it'll be my honor to lead you.

00:27:30.730 --> 00:27:34.313 align:center
<i>Boys, we can fool them</i>
<i>with the transport formation</i>

00:27:34.396 --> 00:27:37.563 align:center
<i>but for a maximum of two to three minutes.</i>

00:27:38.563 --> 00:27:41.396 align:center
<i>That's why we will split</i>
<i>into four pairs immediately</i>

00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.813 align:center
<i>after takeoff and approach</i>
<i>from different valleys.</i>

00:27:44.896 --> 00:27:48.730 align:center
<i>We will fly below the crest level</i>
<i>in the depths of the valleys,</i>

00:27:48.813 --> 00:27:51.230 align:center
<i>so that their radar cannot pick us up.</i>

00:27:51.313 --> 00:27:54.230 align:center
<i>We will have to fly</i>
<i>through these valleys in perfect sync.</i>

00:27:54.813 --> 00:27:58.563 align:center
<i>So that we can all reach the delta point</i>
<i>where these four valleys meet,</i>

00:27:58.646 --> 00:28:00.230 align:center
<i>together at the same time.</i>

00:28:00.313 --> 00:28:04.355 align:center
<i>There, we will form</i>
<i>our eight-jet transport formation.</i>

00:28:04.438 --> 00:28:06.688 align:center
<i>And instead of eight different jets,</i>

00:28:06.771 --> 00:28:11.105 align:center
<i>a big transport aircraft dot</i>
<i>will be visible to them on their radar.</i>

00:28:11.188 --> 00:28:12.021 align:center
<i>Is that clear, boys?</i>

00:28:18.105 --> 00:28:19.188 align:center
Okay.

00:28:19.271 --> 00:28:20.771 align:center
Uh, MET hotline, Sir.

00:28:20.855 --> 00:28:23.480 align:center
Heavy cloud formation ahead
on Arrow 3's flight path.

00:28:24.230 --> 00:28:25.063 align:center
Alert them.

00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:27.146 align:center
Arrow 3 scanners.

00:28:27.230 --> 00:28:30.688 align:center
Heavy cloud buildup on radial 030-80 km.

00:28:30.771 --> 00:28:31.855 align:center
<i>Exercise strong caution.</i>

00:28:31.938 --> 00:28:33.980 align:center
Arrow 3. Consider alternate route.

00:28:34.063 --> 00:28:35.646 align:center
Arrow 1 copy. Standby, update.

00:28:35.730 --> 00:28:36.813 align:center
No alternate route.

00:28:36.896 --> 00:28:39.646 align:center
There are only two options,
either we abort the mission,

00:28:39.730 --> 00:28:40.980 align:center
or go through the clouds.

00:28:41.063 --> 00:28:43.438 align:center
In that case, Arrow 3, abort approach.

00:28:43.521 --> 00:28:45.855 align:center
You will not go through the clouds
in these mountains.

00:28:45.938 --> 00:28:48.688 align:center
Arrow 1, if we abort the mission,
everyone has to abort.

00:28:48.771 --> 00:28:51.021 align:center
That's okay. Arrows, standby to abort.

00:28:51.105 --> 00:28:53.271 align:center
- Arrow 3 monitored.
- Arrow 5 monitored.

00:28:53.355 --> 00:28:55.813 align:center
- Monitored.
- <i>Arrow 4, standby to pull up.</i>

00:28:59.646 --> 00:29:00.855 align:center
Arrows, wait!

00:29:00.938 --> 00:29:02.105 align:center
We can go through the clouds.

00:29:02.188 --> 00:29:03.438 align:center
Dhali, you've done this before.

00:29:03.521 --> 00:29:05.438 align:center
Not in this terrain, Baldy.

00:29:05.521 --> 00:29:07.646 align:center
If the peak in front of us
is more than 4000 meters,

00:29:07.730 --> 00:29:09.438 align:center
we'll crash straight into the mountains.

00:29:09.521 --> 00:29:11.021 align:center
Arrow 4, what do you suggest?

00:29:11.105 --> 00:29:12.980 align:center
That peak is 4320 meters.

00:29:13.063 --> 00:29:15.771 align:center
If we maintain speed at 800,
it'll take us exactly 10 seconds

00:29:15.855 --> 00:29:17.855 align:center
to reach 4500 meters.

00:29:17.938 --> 00:29:20.605 align:center
Arrow 4, are you sure
about your calculations?

00:29:20.688 --> 00:29:23.188 align:center
Sir, they don't call me
Mr. Professor for nothing.

00:29:24.896 --> 00:29:26.146 align:center
Okay, Arrow 4.

00:29:26.230 --> 00:29:30.188 align:center
Go ahead, but I want to see
all my pilots at the Delta point.

00:29:30.271 --> 00:29:31.813 align:center
Yes, Sir. You will.

00:29:33.771 --> 00:29:35.855 align:center
Arrow 3, follow my lead, maintain 800.

00:29:35.938 --> 00:29:37.188 align:center
Hey, Professor.

00:29:37.271 --> 00:29:38.271 align:center
It's all up to you now.

00:30:02.063 --> 00:30:03.855 align:center
Speed steady at 800!

00:30:03.938 --> 00:30:05.438 align:center
Altitude 3250!

00:30:05.521 --> 00:30:06.396 align:center
Climbing!

00:30:09.355 --> 00:30:10.813 align:center
Alright, maintaining thrust.

00:30:12.146 --> 00:30:13.021 align:center
Dhali.

00:30:13.105 --> 00:30:14.355 align:center
Max, reheat!

00:30:17.396 --> 00:30:18.771 align:center
3750.

00:30:19.855 --> 00:30:21.271 align:center
4000.

00:30:21.355 --> 00:30:23.646 align:center
The visibility is zero,
but we are on track.

00:30:24.355 --> 00:30:25.313 align:center
Five seconds left.

00:30:25.396 --> 00:30:26.605 align:center
4250.

00:30:28.396 --> 00:30:29.771 align:center
Pull up.

00:30:29.855 --> 00:30:30.688 align:center
Pulling up!

00:30:32.730 --> 00:30:33.980 align:center
4500!

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.771 align:center
Arrow 3 and 4 at Delta, joining up.

00:30:53.563 --> 00:30:54.605 align:center
Well done, boys.

00:30:54.688 --> 00:30:56.688 align:center
Arrows join up in close formation.

00:30:56.771 --> 00:30:58.688 align:center
It's time to become a dot.

00:31:09.146 --> 00:31:10.063 align:center
Okay, boys.

00:31:10.146 --> 00:31:12.563 align:center
This mission is not mentioned
in any manual.

00:31:12.646 --> 00:31:14.730 align:center
And if we succeed in doing this,

00:31:14.813 --> 00:31:16.563 align:center
we will write the manual ourselves.

00:31:17.313 --> 00:31:18.771 align:center
Let's do this, boys.

00:31:22.438 --> 00:31:24.771 align:center
Transport aircraft flying in
from South West Delhi heading.

00:31:24.855 --> 00:31:26.063 align:center
<i>Details.</i>

00:31:26.146 --> 00:31:28.063 align:center
Currently at 27,000 feet.

00:31:28.771 --> 00:31:31.188 align:center
What is a transport jet
doing here at this height?

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.105 align:center
Check the movement sheet.
Tell me which aircraft this is.

00:31:36.188 --> 00:31:37.105 align:center
Hamza,

00:31:37.188 --> 00:31:38.980 align:center
just check the movement sheet. Quickly.

00:31:39.855 --> 00:31:41.855 align:center
- You get SAMS out.
- Okay, Sir.

00:31:43.730 --> 00:31:46.021 align:center
Arrows, 30 seconds to descend.

00:31:47.688 --> 00:31:50.313 align:center
Nothing on the movement sheet.
Don't know what aircraft it is.

00:31:53.271 --> 00:31:54.355 align:center
Descend now.

00:31:59.605 --> 00:32:01.771 align:center
Blip is rapidly losing altitude
in your direction.

00:32:03.605 --> 00:32:05.230 align:center
Dhali, Baldy, it's show time!

00:32:05.313 --> 00:32:06.480 align:center
- Copy.
- Roger.

00:32:06.563 --> 00:32:07.396 align:center
Split!

00:32:12.896 --> 00:32:14.188 align:center
It's a decoy.

00:32:14.271 --> 00:32:15.313 align:center
There are eight jets,

00:32:15.396 --> 00:32:16.896 align:center
<i>coming from different directions.</i>

00:32:28.105 --> 00:32:29.105 align:center
What are you doing?

00:32:29.188 --> 00:32:31.521 align:center
- Why haven't you fired yet?
- We can't see anything, Sir.

00:32:31.605 --> 00:32:33.605 align:center
We can only hear the jets
from all the sides.

00:32:33.688 --> 00:32:35.396 align:center
I can't figure which direction to target.

00:32:40.855 --> 00:32:42.480 align:center
There are eight jets. Just fire!

00:32:44.521 --> 00:32:47.271 align:center
Arrow 2,
missile at 12 o'clock, make right.

00:32:48.188 --> 00:32:51.021 align:center
Missiles evaded.
Arrow 3 and 4, clear to fire.

00:32:51.105 --> 00:32:52.146 align:center
Smoke them up, boys.

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:54.771 align:center
These two jets are coming this way.

00:32:56.730 --> 00:32:57.563 align:center
Give me that!

00:33:01.396 --> 00:33:03.938 align:center
In three, two, one.

00:33:04.021 --> 00:33:05.938 align:center
Now! Bombs away!

00:33:07.646 --> 00:33:08.896 align:center
Bombs away!

00:33:44.063 --> 00:33:46.688 align:center
Arrows, Ahuja would be proud of us.

00:33:47.771 --> 00:33:48.980 align:center
Let's get back home now.

00:33:56.063 --> 00:33:58.021 align:center
<i>For the last two months,</i>

00:33:58.105 --> 00:34:01.813 align:center
<i>all of us together,</i>
<i>we've been fighting this war.</i>

00:34:01.896 --> 00:34:05.146 align:center
<i>The most unconventional war in history.</i>

00:34:06.771 --> 00:34:10.313 align:center
<i>Today, the Golden Arrows</i>
<i>have pulled off a suicide mission</i>

00:34:10.396 --> 00:34:13.771 align:center
<i>and completed it</i>
<i>with zero casualties and they have proved</i>

00:34:14.396 --> 00:34:16.355 align:center
<i>that the Indian Air Force fighters,</i>

00:34:16.438 --> 00:34:19.938 align:center
they don't just touch the impossible,
they break right through it.

00:34:20.021 --> 00:34:22.730 align:center
Yes! Yes!

00:34:22.813 --> 00:34:27.605 align:center
Boys, victory is now
just a few peaks away from us.

00:34:27.688 --> 00:34:32.021 align:center
And you Arrows have given us the time
to ready our most powerful weapon,

00:34:32.105 --> 00:34:33.563 align:center
<i>the Mirages.</i>

00:34:33.646 --> 00:34:35.646 align:center
<i>Their laser-guided bombs are live,</i>

00:34:35.730 --> 00:34:36.980 align:center
<i>locked,</i>

00:34:37.063 --> 00:34:39.605 align:center
<i>and loaded to conquer Tiger Hill.</i>

00:34:39.688 --> 00:34:40.855 align:center
Boys.

00:34:40.938 --> 00:34:42.730 align:center
Every day, for the past few days,

00:34:42.813 --> 00:34:43.771 align:center
we've only been hearing

00:34:43.855 --> 00:34:46.730 align:center
about system errors
and the struggles of our soldiers.

00:34:47.313 --> 00:34:50.730 align:center
But finally,
our own laser-guided bombs are ready.

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.813 align:center
The frustration through this struggle,
and the anger that's built up within us,

00:34:55.646 --> 00:34:57.105 align:center
isn't less than a bomb itself.

00:34:57.730 --> 00:34:58.980 align:center
Are the Battleaxes

00:34:59.063 --> 00:35:00.688 align:center
prepared to give the enemy
a final blow

00:35:00.771 --> 00:35:02.188 align:center
- in this war?
- Yes, Sir!

00:35:02.271 --> 00:35:03.938 align:center
<i>- Shatrunjaya!</i>
- <i>Shatrunjaya!</i>

00:35:04.021 --> 00:35:05.813 align:center
<i>- Shatrunjaya!</i>
- <i>Shatrunjaya!</i>

00:35:26.688 --> 00:35:28.146 align:center
Nambiar, laser on. Ready?

00:35:28.230 --> 00:35:29.313 align:center
More than ready.

00:35:29.396 --> 00:35:31.480 align:center
Ten kilometers away. Start zooming in.

00:35:33.355 --> 00:35:34.355 align:center
Visual acquired.

00:35:34.438 --> 00:35:36.521 align:center
Enemy bunker's clear as day.

00:35:36.605 --> 00:35:39.271 align:center
Let's crush the ego
of Little Pakistan once and for all.

00:35:39.355 --> 00:35:41.605 align:center
Roger! Bombs away!

00:35:41.688 --> 00:35:43.271 align:center
Bombs away!

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:50.021 align:center
<i>After nearly 11 hours of relentless combat</i>

00:35:50.105 --> 00:35:53.521 align:center
<i>supported by precision strikes</i>
<i>from Indian Air Force Mirage jets,</i>

00:35:53.605 --> 00:35:56.771 align:center
<i>Indian forces have recaptured Tiger Hill.</i>

00:35:56.855 --> 00:35:59.313 align:center
<i>This decisive victory</i>
<i>restores Indian control</i>

00:35:59.396 --> 00:36:01.438 align:center
<i>over the strategic heights of Drass,</i>

00:36:01.521 --> 00:36:04.646 align:center
<i>marking a significant turning point</i>
<i>in the Kargil conflict.</i>

00:36:04.730 --> 00:36:07.730 align:center
<i>Along with Tiger Hill,</i>
<i>the Indian Air Force's Mirage jets</i>

00:36:07.813 --> 00:36:11.730 align:center
<i>also attacked the Pakistan supply base</i>
<i>at Muntho Dalo in the Batalik sector,</i>

00:36:11.813 --> 00:36:14.646 align:center
<i>around 300 Pakistani soldiers</i>
<i>have been killed in this attack.</i>

00:36:21.355 --> 00:36:22.813 align:center
Where is Mister Prime Minister?

00:36:22.896 --> 00:36:25.938 align:center
The Prime Minister has left for…

00:36:26.021 --> 00:36:27.313 align:center
Washington D.C. alone.

00:36:34.646 --> 00:36:36.605 align:center
<i>Thank you for agreeing to see me today.</i>

00:36:36.688 --> 00:36:38.896 align:center
You barged in here

00:36:38.980 --> 00:36:41.771 align:center
and blackmail me
with a threat of nuclear war.

00:36:43.605 --> 00:36:46.230 align:center
I am sorry. Nuclear war?
I don't follow, Mr. President.

00:36:47.730 --> 00:36:49.230 align:center
Either you are a very good actor

00:36:49.313 --> 00:36:51.980 align:center
or you have no idea what's happening
in your own backyard.

00:36:52.688 --> 00:36:57.730 align:center
Your army has mobilized nuclear assets.
We are tracking them right now.

00:37:00.188 --> 00:37:02.063 align:center
I don't know what you are talking about.

00:37:02.146 --> 00:37:03.855 align:center
I promise, Mr. President.

00:37:03.938 --> 00:37:05.688 align:center
I told you before, Nawaz.

00:37:05.771 --> 00:37:09.521 align:center
I need to speak with whoever is in charge,
whoever runs your country.

00:37:09.605 --> 00:37:11.396 align:center
I-I am in charge.

00:37:12.396 --> 00:37:14.730 align:center
I am here with the mandate
of the people of Pakistan.

00:37:14.813 --> 00:37:17.771 align:center
And it's that mandate
you're looking to protect by coming here?

00:37:17.855 --> 00:37:18.938 align:center
Yes, of course.

00:37:19.021 --> 00:37:20.188 align:center
Let me be very clear.

00:37:20.896 --> 00:37:24.188 align:center
Unless you came here
to announce the unilateral withdraw

00:37:24.271 --> 00:37:27.480 align:center
of your troops from Indian territory,
we don't have much to talk about.

00:37:29.813 --> 00:37:31.396 align:center
I can withdraw my troops.

00:37:33.605 --> 00:37:37.188 align:center
But I have to show something
to my people, for this conflict.

00:37:38.813 --> 00:37:41.355 align:center
And only you can help me
with this, Mr. President.

00:37:43.355 --> 00:37:44.980 align:center
Let me get this straight.

00:37:45.063 --> 00:37:48.188 align:center
You want me to broker your retreat?

00:37:48.271 --> 00:37:50.938 align:center
I thought you didn't want
any outside interference.

00:37:57.521 --> 00:37:59.396 align:center
Mr. Vajpayee is not taking my calls.

00:38:00.063 --> 00:38:02.521 align:center
And if I return empty-handed,
Mr. President,

00:38:03.563 --> 00:38:05.771 align:center
the same people who started this fire…

00:38:07.646 --> 00:38:10.230 align:center
will throw me back
in the same fire and burn me.

00:38:11.730 --> 00:38:13.396 align:center
Mr. Sharif,

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:15.563 align:center
the United States

00:38:15.646 --> 00:38:18.813 align:center
will not be dragged
into a civil-military tug of war

00:38:18.896 --> 00:38:21.938 align:center
between Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

00:38:25.688 --> 00:38:27.230 align:center
I have two statements here.

00:38:28.521 --> 00:38:30.771 align:center
One, commend you

00:38:30.855 --> 00:38:34.605 align:center
for withdrawing troops right way
and committing to regional stability.

00:38:36.771 --> 00:38:39.438 align:center
And the other, condemns you

00:38:39.521 --> 00:38:42.396 align:center
for illegally occupying Indian soil

00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.021 align:center
and threatening world peace
with nuclear weapons.

00:38:47.563 --> 00:38:49.313 align:center
Call your cabinet.

00:38:51.146 --> 00:38:52.521 align:center
Take your time.

00:38:55.563 --> 00:38:58.230 align:center
And decide how you want
to be remembered, Mr. Sharif.

00:39:07.646 --> 00:39:11.188 align:center
<i>After hours</i>
<i>of tense negotiations in Washington D.C.,</i>

00:39:11.271 --> 00:39:13.230 align:center
<i>Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has announced</i>

00:39:13.313 --> 00:39:15.896 align:center
<i>a unilateral withdrawal</i>
<i>of Pakistani troops</i>

00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:17.313 align:center
<i>from the heights of Kargil.</i>

00:39:17.396 --> 00:39:19.771 align:center
<i>The Kargil war is now effectively over</i>

00:39:19.855 --> 00:39:21.980 align:center
<i>and the victory belongs to India.</i>

00:39:22.063 --> 00:39:24.396 align:center
My sources in the ISI are saying…

00:39:25.563 --> 00:39:28.521 align:center
that Mr. Nawaz is planning
to put the whole blame on you.

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:31.605 align:center
They foresee a court-martial.

00:39:32.771 --> 00:39:35.188 align:center
We've lost this war, Sir.

00:39:38.813 --> 00:39:41.105 align:center
General Mahmud, you worry unnecessarily.

00:39:43.438 --> 00:39:45.105 align:center
We've just lost Kargil,

00:39:45.188 --> 00:39:46.230 align:center
not Pakistan.

00:39:46.313 --> 00:39:50.146 align:center
You need to remove the fear
of court-martial from your mind…

00:39:52.938 --> 00:39:55.480 align:center
and start preparing to impose
martial law in this country.

00:39:57.521 --> 00:40:00.230 align:center
<i>There are reports</i>
<i>of public outrage in Pakistan.</i>

00:40:00.313 --> 00:40:03.563 align:center
<i>The Pakistan Army maintains</i>
<i>that they were winning this war,</i>

00:40:03.646 --> 00:40:06.605 align:center
<i>and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif</i>
<i>bent the knee under American pressure.</i>

00:40:06.688 --> 00:40:08.480 align:center
<i>The word is spreading fast</i>

00:40:08.563 --> 00:40:12.146 align:center
<i>and the Prime Minister's effigies</i>
<i>are being burnt in many cities.</i>

00:40:12.230 --> 00:40:13.480 align:center
<i>In the middle of all of this,</i>

00:40:13.563 --> 00:40:17.313 align:center
<i>the families of the Pakistani soldiers</i>
<i>demand answers from their government,</i>

00:40:17.396 --> 00:40:19.521 align:center
<i>"Are their loved ones alive?"</i>

00:40:21.605 --> 00:40:22.438 align:center
Sir.

00:40:23.146 --> 00:40:25.271 align:center
The Pakistan Army is refusing
to accept these bodies.

00:40:26.063 --> 00:40:28.105 align:center
We bury them as per their religion.

00:40:28.730 --> 00:40:29.646 align:center
Sir, but they are--

00:40:29.730 --> 00:40:30.646 align:center
They're all soldiers.

00:40:30.730 --> 00:40:32.313 align:center
They can forget this fact.

00:40:34.313 --> 00:40:35.188 align:center
But we will not.

00:40:36.938 --> 00:40:41.646 align:center
There is a difference between them and us.

00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:44.146 align:center
Right?

00:40:44.230 --> 00:40:45.105 align:center
Yes, Sir.

00:40:46.105 --> 00:40:48.271 align:center
<i>Climbing difficult altitudes,</i>

00:40:48.355 --> 00:40:50.438 align:center
fighting difficult battles,

00:40:51.355 --> 00:40:55.105 align:center
our brave army has pushed them back,

00:40:55.855 --> 00:40:57.521 align:center
and showed our enemies

00:40:59.313 --> 00:41:04.271 align:center
how dangerous it can be
to go against India.

00:41:04.355 --> 00:41:05.980 align:center
Let this be a lesson for them.

00:41:55.355 --> 00:41:56.771 align:center
When were you going to tell me?

00:41:57.896 --> 00:41:58.938 align:center
After the delivery?

00:42:00.980 --> 00:42:03.188 align:center
On the day you didn't have a sortie.

00:42:08.188 --> 00:42:09.688 align:center
Congratulations, Madhavi.

00:42:09.771 --> 00:42:10.688 align:center
Thank you, Sir.

00:42:25.771 --> 00:42:26.730 align:center
Did you hear my jet?

00:42:27.771 --> 00:42:28.605 align:center
Loud and clear.

00:42:41.313 --> 00:42:44.605 align:center
The Indian Air Force
has played a very important role

00:42:44.688 --> 00:42:46.230 align:center
in the victory in Kargil.

00:42:46.313 --> 00:42:47.855 align:center
So how are you all feeling about it?

00:42:48.521 --> 00:42:50.480 align:center
We are like razor blades.

00:42:51.646 --> 00:42:54.271 align:center
Wherever we are sent,
our job is just to cut through.

00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:58.313 align:center
Thinking or feeling,
that's not what we do.

00:42:58.396 --> 00:43:00.438 align:center
Sir, when you lost
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja

00:43:00.521 --> 00:43:02.355 align:center
on the first day of the operation itself,

00:43:02.438 --> 00:43:03.813 align:center
<i>how did you feel then?</i>

00:43:05.063 --> 00:43:06.980 align:center
<i>Sir, that's my question as well.</i>

00:43:07.063 --> 00:43:09.396 align:center
<i>Ahuja Sir could have come back</i>
<i>if he wanted to.</i>

00:43:10.146 --> 00:43:11.771 align:center
<i>But he went beyond the call of duty,</i>

00:43:11.855 --> 00:43:14.396 align:center
was it the right thing
to do according to you?

00:43:15.021 --> 00:43:16.980 align:center
Because of the decision he made,

00:43:17.063 --> 00:43:18.521 align:center
we not only lost a jet,

00:43:18.605 --> 00:43:20.480 align:center
but a valuable pilot as well.

00:43:21.063 --> 00:43:23.396 align:center
Sir, I just wanted to know
your opinion on this.

00:43:25.730 --> 00:43:26.563 align:center
- Uh…
- Sir.

00:43:26.646 --> 00:43:27.521 align:center
May I?

00:43:28.855 --> 00:43:29.688 align:center
Sure.

00:43:30.521 --> 00:43:31.438 align:center
Thank you.

00:43:32.021 --> 00:43:35.438 align:center
Has any of you ever been
in a MiG-21 cockpit?

00:43:35.521 --> 00:43:36.730 align:center
No, Sir.

00:43:37.813 --> 00:43:41.980 align:center
Let me tell you what a MiG-21 is

00:43:42.063 --> 00:43:43.855 align:center
really like for a fighter pilot.

00:43:45.271 --> 00:43:48.105 align:center
To begin with,
imagine being tied to such a seat

00:43:48.188 --> 00:43:49.230 align:center
that doesn't let you move.

00:43:49.313 --> 00:43:52.313 align:center
Then imagine
a couple hundred controls around you,

00:43:52.396 --> 00:43:55.271 align:center
and also some
4000 liters of fuel around you.

00:43:55.355 --> 00:43:57.355 align:center
Just one small spark

00:43:57.438 --> 00:43:59.605 align:center
can turn the jet around you into a bomb,

00:43:59.688 --> 00:44:01.855 align:center
and you have no choice
but to fly this live bomb

00:44:01.938 --> 00:44:03.438 align:center
faster than the speed of sound.

00:44:03.521 --> 00:44:04.855 align:center
<i>One small mistake…</i>

00:44:06.355 --> 00:44:07.521 align:center
<i>and you can turn into ashes.</i>

00:44:08.105 --> 00:44:12.188 align:center
<i>This is a MiG-21</i>
<i>fighter pilot's daily reality.</i>

00:44:12.813 --> 00:44:14.230 align:center
Now I want to ask you, Sir.

00:44:15.146 --> 00:44:17.188 align:center
If you were in that cockpit that day,

00:44:17.271 --> 00:44:18.938 align:center
what would have been
your first priority?

00:44:19.021 --> 00:44:20.021 align:center
- To survive.
- To survive.

00:44:20.646 --> 00:44:21.563 align:center
Exactly.

00:44:21.646 --> 00:44:23.855 align:center
That day in that situation,

00:44:23.938 --> 00:44:26.313 align:center
Flight Commander
Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja

00:44:26.396 --> 00:44:29.646 align:center
gave someone else's life
more priority than his own life.

00:44:35.021 --> 00:44:37.188 align:center
Nobody has the right…

00:44:37.271 --> 00:44:40.105 align:center
…to ask whether
he made the right call or not.

00:44:44.021 --> 00:44:45.105 align:center
Any more questions?

00:44:46.021 --> 00:44:47.480 align:center
No, Sir.

00:44:47.563 --> 00:44:48.438 align:center
<i>Jai Hind.</i>

00:45:30.021 --> 00:45:30.855 align:center
Tony?

00:45:33.730 --> 00:45:34.688 align:center
He's gone to Delhi.

00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:36.313 align:center
Paperwork.

00:45:46.230 --> 00:45:48.063 align:center
Happy landings, boys.

00:46:26.563 --> 00:46:27.396 align:center
Tony?

00:46:33.646 --> 00:46:34.771 align:center
How are you?

00:46:41.355 --> 00:46:43.271 align:center
Um, I spoke to Kamal
on the phone yesterday.

00:46:43.355 --> 00:46:45.188 align:center
She didn't tell me you're…

00:46:50.730 --> 00:46:51.646 align:center
Alka, I…

00:46:54.646 --> 00:46:55.480 align:center
I'm…

00:46:57.230 --> 00:46:58.313 align:center
really sorry.

00:47:01.230 --> 00:47:02.688 align:center
The thing is, I…

00:47:04.688 --> 00:47:07.480 align:center
I couldn't gather the courage
to come and face you earlier.

00:47:14.896 --> 00:47:16.313 align:center
I keep thinking that I…

00:47:17.271 --> 00:47:19.021 align:center
I should have been there
with Ajay that day.

00:47:22.855 --> 00:47:24.188 align:center
Maybe if I was there, I'd…

00:47:29.563 --> 00:47:30.646 align:center
Would you like some coffee?

00:47:47.188 --> 00:47:48.896 align:center
On the day of the cremation…

00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:51.896 align:center
I said a lot of things.

00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:54.021 align:center
Tony, I was just very angry.

00:47:55.896 --> 00:47:57.438 align:center
But you were absolutely right.

00:48:00.521 --> 00:48:01.646 align:center
I…

00:48:02.896 --> 00:48:04.688 align:center
Alka, I broke your trust.

Tony…

00:48:12.771 --> 00:48:14.021 align:center
You need to forgive yourself.

00:48:20.646 --> 00:48:22.230 align:center
See, the truth is,

00:48:22.313 --> 00:48:23.771 align:center
that day, you,

00:48:23.855 --> 00:48:26.438 align:center
or me, or Ankur…

00:48:26.521 --> 00:48:29.730 align:center
no one could have stopped Ajay,
that's just how he was.

00:48:31.063 --> 00:48:32.480 align:center
Please, forgive yourself, Tony.

00:48:33.313 --> 00:48:34.438 align:center
Please.
