Hercules Formation, abort mission.

Negative. We can't return without Hyena Two.

Hercules One, it is too risky.

There are stingers out there, Hercules.

Nishi's alone. I won't return without finding him.

You're deviating from your planned mission.

Stinger spotted.

Chief, we have good news.

We just shot down an Indian Air Force jet in Kargil.

Brilliant.

Now let's see

how many more pilots will the Indian Air Force send to die.

The India-Pakistan border

has been the epicenter of war, suspicion and mistrust

for the past 52 years.

And last year, when both countries conducted nuclear tests within months,

this mistrust reached its limit.

This time in history was labelled

the most dangerous series of events post-World War II.

But after only seven months, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee

on accepting Nawaz Sharif's invitation,

announced a historical bus service to Lahore.

Now a question arises,

can the defense forces of both countries

accept this gesture of peace?

Gentlemen, peace or no peace,

this year too, the Western Command's war game exercise

will be conducted as scheduled.

Like every year, your flying skills, alertness,

innovation and bravery will be tested.

And as usual, all the squadrons will be split into two teams.

Red Land and Blue Land.

However this year, for the first time,

Team Blue Land

will also have a photo-recce squadron with them, the Golden Arrows,

led by Wing Commander Tony Dhanoa.

They will recce for Wolfpack, the bombing squadron,

identify the target for them, and post-strike also assess the damage.

In the coming month,

there will be five operational rounds.

Then the semi-finals and finals.

Any questions?

No, sir!

Gentlemen, I had asked you before this exercise started,

how according to you your squadrons could become war-ready.

And I have received your requirements.

Jammer pods, self-defense systems,

advanced flying simulators,

and someone has put in a demand for night vision goggles.

But Tony…

you haven't asked for a thing.

Sir, my squadron has the youngest fighter pilots

from the Western Air Command.

They are Academy trained,

but flying the MiG-21 for the first time operationally.

Sir, both you and I know,

the MiG-21 has the fastest take-off and landing speeds in the world.

So before being war-ready,

I want all of my boys to be MiG ready, sir.

And I don't think we need any equipment to do that.

What we actually need is a good coach.

And who is this coach?

Squadron leader Ajay Ahuja.

I can't think of anyone more capable for shaping my boys into men.

I'm sorry, Alka.

We have to keep moving all the time because of me.

Sorry?

But I was just about to say thank you.

For what?

For all the new sarees I have.

At every posting,

all my old sarees become new again.

What's up, champion?

So tell me.

Fourteen times eight?

One, one, two.

Too slow.

Don't you want to be a fighter pilot?

A fighter pilot has to be able to solve math problems in one second.

Seventeen hundred hours. You better be ready.

There's an even bigger swimming pool over here.

Okay, Papa.

- Bye. - Bye.

You're a a flight commander now.

At least get yourself a new motorbike.

I have 16 MiGs, madam.

If a flight commander rides an obsolete, ancient scooter,

what impression would he leave on the boys, huh?

Why does everyone hate my scooter so much?

Also, the way I see it,

our MiGs are a lot older than my scooter, right?

Right, Tony sir?

There's that twisted logic again.

Come here, bring it in.

Welcome to Golden Arrows.

Good to see you again, Ahuja.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, wow.

Annual War Game exercise, sir.

Semi-finals.

It's time for the boys to meet their new coach.

As the dedicated photo recce squadron,

our job is to fly low over the target and take photos of it.

Then these photos are to be enlarged

and the exact strike coordinates are to be shared with the bombing squadron.

The moment you cross this make-shift LoC, your timer will start.

Forty-five seconds.

If you don't make it back within 45 seconds,

Red Land's surface to air missiles will lock on to you

and for all practical purposes, you're dead.

Which means we lose points.

And that cannot happen.

- Jai Hind, Sir. - Jai Hind.

At ease, Arrows.

I want you to meet your new Flight Commander.

Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja.

He was supposed to join tomorrow.

But I guess, he was dying to see you guys.

What do you think?

What exactly should our strategy be?

Sir, the enemy will have missiles.

Our missions should be flown in radio silence.

I'm not talking about that mission.

I'm actually talking about

the India-Pakistan Peace Summit on February 19th.

For the first time in 52 years,

India's Prime Minister is going to Pakistan by road.

I'd like to hear what you boys think about this bus journey.

I think it's a good step, sir.

Both countries have nuclear weapons,

so a permanent solution needs to be found.

Well, sir, a permanent solution is impossible.

Some tensions could ease, but that's it.

- But how? - Mistake.

It's a big mistake, sir.

A country like Pakistan can never be trusted.

Peace between India and Pakistan is also vital.

Yeah, but the other country's intention should also be the same, Baldy.

Ahuja, what do you think?

Sir, I don't think about all these things at all.

Exactly. You shouldn't think about these things.

Politics has nothing to do with the Air Force.

We are razor blades.

We are trained to cut with precision

and not think about anything else.

We are 17 points behind.

If we don't score 20 points in the semi-final,

no matter how many stunts we pull off,

the victory will go to Red Land.

Chou…

boys for the mission?

Dhali and Goofy.

Boys, this is the closest you'll ever get to experiencing war.

It's a war you've never lost, sir.

And I'm not losing it this time either.

Go get me those points.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Pakistan Zindabad, sir.

Zindabad.

What brings you here?

The World Cup's around the corner,

so I thought I'd come and encourage the players.

In fact, the players are not very different from soldiers.

We're always preparing for the next war.

Very true, sir.

Junaid was just six years old

when he wanted to become a fast bowler.

It's amazing you still remember that.

Of course, Tauqir.

Inshallah, very soon he'll play for the Pakistan cricket team.

Not while Younis, Akhtar, Akram are all still in the team.

Looks difficult.

Listen, Tauqir,

when his own father is about to become

the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board,

- why would it be difficult? - Sir?

The PCB will get a new chair in December.

Who better to lead this post for us

than the star sportsman of the Pakistan Army?

The Pakistan team is a really big responsibility.

Are you afraid of responsibility?

No, sir.

Can you get Pakistan another World Cup victory?

I will do my best.

Then I'm sure Tauqir, you can get Kashmir for Pakistan as well.

Kashmir, sir?

Every year, both countries withdraw their armies

from the snow covered mountains of Kashmir.

As per the Shimla Agreement.

And your office as DGMO is the one to give these orders, right?

Right, sir.

But this time, our soldiers will stay where they are.

But it'll be a violation of the Shimla Agreement.

This is also a direct violation of the LoC,

because this time our soldiers will move forward

across the Line Of Control

to capture all the posts which will be vacated by the Indian Army

as they honor the Shimla Agreement.

Especially those posts from where India's National Highway One

will be in direct line of sight for us.

But sir, PM Nawaz Sharif is about to hold peace talks with India.

So?

Pardon me, sir.

Is the Prime Minister aware of this operation?

This is an army operation, General Zia.

Why do we need to involve the Prime Minister?

Are the posters for the peace talks ready?

Sir, the layout is ready.

Is the meeting with Faiz's daughter fixed?

No, sir, actually--

Mr. Vajpayee is a huge fan of Faiz's poetry.

Do this on a priority, please.

Sure, sir.

Sir, your father is asking for you.

The cabinet has been waiting for a while.

Hmm.

- Should we get the chopper ready? - There are so many mistakes.

Mr. Aqil,

Mr. Vajpayee will be the first Indian Prime Minister

of India to set foot on Minar-e-Pakistan.

Understand the significance of these talks.

- You go ahead. Please have a seat. - Yes, sir.

Tell me, what's the agenda for today's meeting?

- Just the peace talks, sir. - Okay.

Our suggestion is that during these talks

we, uh, propose the Chenab River as the new Line of Control, sir.

Look, uh…

This will be the LoC…

which will be visible even from the moon.

Haven't we discussed this before?

This 80-20 division in favor of Pakistan will never be accepted by India.

Sir, the Chenab River divides

the Hindu-Muslim population of Kashmir evenly.

This is a great resolution for the conflict.

Mr. Aziz…

I'm the one who's been speaking to Mr. Vajpayee every day.

He'll never agree to this.

Nawaz…

you are free to continue your friendly conversations with him.

But for the actual negotiations

follow Mr. Aziz's lead.

He is far more experienced in diplomatic talks

than all of us put together.

Yes, Father.

May we proceed with the Indian draft, sir?

What's your opinion on this, Mr. Aziz?

Sir, the Chief has assigned all the important army positions

to his own men.

So?

So, sir, our political history clearly shows that

whenever the army has expanded its influence,

it hasn't really under--

Mr. Butt, we bypassed three of his seniors and appointed him as the Army Chief.

If he wants to enjoy the power of being an Army Chief for now, let him.

What does it matter?

Sir, it is a matter of border positions.

If the Chief tries to be adventurous in the valley,

the ISI's long-term Kashmir plan may be at risk.

Also, it's only my duty to warn you, sir.

Absolutely.

And my job is to understand the difference.

You just focus on ISI operations, and not on General Musharraf.

The new Flight Commander doesn't seem like a commander at all.

You don't gauge an engine's power from the jet's body, Goofy.

Does the mission seem right to you?

Bad weather above and anti-aircraft guns below.

Danger everywhere.

Of course, it seems right.

Perfect

Happy landings, Goofy.

Trident taxy via link Alpha Runway 27-QNH-1002

Link Alpha, Runway 271002.

Copied. Trident in sequence.

Trident sequence monitored.

- Sir. - Hmm?

Vanguard Control, Trident formation ready to take off.

Were these rolls part of the briefing?

Sir, that's Flying Officer Dhaliwal.

Very talented.

And a bit of show-off as well.

Whoo!

Can we go to the Ops room?

Sure, sir.

Sir, will you be attending the debrief today?

On my first day?

I think today I'll just observe.

- Hmm. - Right-o, sir.

Sir, message from met department.

Heavy cloud patch in Trident's route.

- Sir? - Safety first always.

Break RT silence. Alert them.

Trident Vanguard control…

exercise caution for large cloud build up. There's a heavy patch coming your way--

RT silence scan. Whatever it is, I'll handle it.

Trident two, Vanguard control.

Exercise caution for large cloud build up in sector, 040, 30 kilometers.

Roger copy, Trident two.

With an RT silence, you really wanna gossip on Channel 2?

Dhali, what are you doing, man? It's a cloud alert.

We are still in the air, aren't we, Goofy?

Just follow my lead.

This is a semi-final mission.

No matter what, we complete it on time.

Vanguard control Trident two.

The leader isn't responding. Going ahead as planned.

Trident formation, lost joy on you.

Trident formation, confirm monitored.

Oh, shit!

Dhali!

Whoo!

Trident formation, confirm ops normal.

Trident formation, confirm ops normal.

Affirmative, heading to the party.

Close shave, boys, but the mission is just starting,

and you have only 45 seconds.

Go get those points.

Trident formation is approaching target.

Mission completed. Heading back to base.

Sir, Trident formation is heading back to base.

I've changed my mind, Chou.

I…

would like to attend the debriefing.

- Sergeant, take the cam to the PIC room. - Sir.

Are you okay?

Wasn't it a bit much?

But you felt the rush, right?

Goofy, why did you…

follow the mission instead of aborting it?

Sir, the leader had asked me to follow, so aborting the mission was not an option.

Textbook wingman call.

Well done.

And you?

The ground orders were clear,

so why did you…

take the risk of flying into the cloud?

For the 20 points of the mission, sir.

There was a high risk of both pilots colliding in cloud flying.

Did you factor that in?

Sir, we've been flying together for a year.

We completely trust each other.

And suppose…

you got completely disoriented while flying through the cloud?

We can easily reorient, sir.

We're the only squadron that has a Global Positioning System.

Grounded.

For one week.

No sorties.

I'm sorry, sir?

You're restricted to only ground duties for a week.

Bird clearance, paperwork,

and you'll interpret sortie photos taken by other pilots as well.

Pardon me sir, but why?

Completing the mission was important, and I just took a calculated risk.

Sir, if we didn't do this, we… we would've lost,

and everyone would've blamed the Golden Arrows.

It's as simple as that, sir.

And there was no other way.

Does everyone feel the same?

That…

that there was no other way to do this?

There was, sir,

another way.

Go on, Baldy. Explain.

Sir, the dog-leg maneuver.

They could have gone around the cloud.

And what about the time it would've taken to re-route?

It would've taken two minutes at most.

The length of the cloud was ten kilometers,

and detouring around the cloud would mean another 20 kilometers.

What about the extra fuel it would take to go around it?

Sir, at a speed of 800,

whatever fuel would have been required

for the ten-kilometer difference…

I guess more fuel than that would probably be spent to manage the cloud's turbulence.

So I think dog-leg was a safer and more efficient option.

Clearly, whatever is safe for me

is probably dangerous for our dear professor.

And it's fine. Every pilot has their own risk-taking capacity--

So you're saying you agree?

that there was another way.

Sir, at that time I was the one in the air.

You weren't there and neither was he.

And if this had been an actual war, would we have gone around--

Grounded for two weeks, Dhaliwal.

Let's save risks for a real war.

We are not at war right now.

Assalam alaikum, Chief,

I have an urgent update for you.

Lieutenant General Aziz

and Lieutenant General Mahmood are both on the line.

Tell me.

Sir, according to our plan,

soldiers from our 12th NLI have already captured

eight vacant Indian posts.

But as soon as they moved forward,

they encountered many hidden posts

which we were unaware of.

Clearly India has been guarding NH1 like it's a fortress.

And now, when India is honoring the Shimla Agreement

and has vacated all the posts,

we should take advantage of this, sir.

I think we should take them all, sir.

Hasan, to hold posts in such a large area,

we will have to cancel the winter leave of 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers.

We are already breaching the Shimla Agreement

by crossing the LoC during winter.

Taking these posts would be an invasion of 200 square kilometers.

General Mahmood, tell me one thing.

Do you set out to capture Kashmir every day?

No, sir.

Then you will never get an opportunity better than this one.

General Hassan?

Yes, sir.

Capture all those posts right away.

They will never expect us to be able to pull off something like this.

Our audacity will become our strength in this operation.

Draft a list of the supplies.

I'm sending Tauqir Zia to you.

Pakistan Zindabad.

- Pakistan Zindabad, sir. - Pakistan Zindabad, sir.

- Dhali. - Hmmm

I have good news.

The bombing squadron has destroyed Red Land's comms base.

and we've won the semi-finals.

- I'm aware. - Yeah, that's obvious.

But I've received my next posting.

Mirage Squadron.

Mir…

From a family car straight to a Ferrari.

Whoa!

Congratulations, Sangy.

Well hopefully, you won't have to deal

with a Flight Commander there who would ground you just for taking risks.

Forget about him, Dhali.

You've won us the semi-finals, man.

Let's go celebrate that.

Come on, drinks on me tonight.

No, you guys enjoy. I'm not in the mood, thank you.

It is unfair.

Should we go talk to him together?

- Let's see what Ahuja Sir says. - Yeah, let's see.

He's the Flight Commander.

What's the point of talking to him? He can do whatever he feels like.

He may be the Flight Commander, but we're also Bachelors.

We can't argue with him…

but we can mess with him.

Let's go.

Uh, where is Mr. Professor?

Probably where he goes every evening.

Let's go, then.

Bala, do you love me or not?

What a weird question. Of course I do.

So will you elope with me?

Madhavi, I'm not even a Flight Lieutenant yet.

I'm still in training over here and…

And I really don't think this is the right time.

There's a lot of pressure from my parents. Please try to understand.

Bouncing?

You guys carry on.

You don't have a choice.

Madhavi, I'll… I'll call you in an hour, okay?

Hello?

She hung up.

- Good evening, ma'am. - Hello, ma'am.

Aren't you boys a little late?

Bachelors from the last squadron had come to bounce on the second day itself.

Your team is here.

Finally.

Welcome home, boys.

Uh, I don't drink.

But I serve.

This bar is all yours. Help yourself.

Dhali, you're on a roll tonight.

I'm on my second. He's on his seventh.

- Seventh drink? - It's free, isn't it?

He only drinks when he's bouncing.

He'll never pay… He'll never pay for his own drinks.

- Huh? - Come on.

Start chopping.

We'll make my special recipe tonight.

You boys want to eat, right?

- Yes. - So, then get to it.

What are you looking at?

This house belongs to Alka Ma'am.

I only live here.

Come on, come on. Hmm.

I'll chop the carrots, okay.

Potatoes.

It seems like we got screwed on our own bouncing.

By the way, these two seem to be more in sync than us.

What are you all whispering about?

If you had to talk amongst yourselves, then why even bother the bouncing?

Let's all hear it, come on.

Uh, sir, actually, uh, Max was asking

when will the finals of the war game exercises be held?

Mm-mm.

Bouncing rule number one of this house.

Nobody is allowed to talk about flying.

Oh. We won't talk about flying.

- We won't. - Sorry.

Thank you, Sangy.

But ma'am, this rule is wrong.

If my house had such a rule, I would've never become a fighter pilot.

This conversation is allowed.

Rajendra Dhaliwal, Ma'am.

My father, he was also in the Air Force.

Ground Duty Officer.

And my mother used to cook amazing food.

So all fighter pilots used to come for bouncing at our house.

I used to hear everyone's flying stories,

and I got the bug as well.

So where's your father posted now?

- He retired. - He retired.

Wing Commander Dhaliwal.

'69 batch.

Disciplined officer.

I'd met him briefly in Tezpur.

Hold on.

Ahuja Sir generally knows everything about everyone,

but I don't know anything.

So how did the rest of you, uh, catch this bug of flying?

- Hmm? - Huh?

Sangy.

Um, Ma'am, for us, the only way to get out of town was the army.

My father, grandfather, they were both were in the army.

But neither of them could ever fight in a war.

So, I am just, uh, trying to repay that debt to the country.

Ma'am, he, uh, doesn't drink that often,

so he's always stuck between debt and duty.

Ma'am…

when you said "special", I thought of something completely different.

I never thought that even pilaf could be this tasty.

What is in it?

Thank you so much for the dinner, ma'am.

I'll have to take your leave.

I have an urgent call to make.

But who's gonna do the dishes?

You forgot the tradition?

Baldy, why don't you just make a call from here?

We have long distance calling.

Yeah, go ahead.

Sir, he needs a public booth for a private call.

You can leave, Baldy.

- Thank you. - Dhali, you'll do

Baldy's share of the dishes, okay?

Yeah. Sure, Ma'am.

But who is she, Professor?

You're ditching the whole squadron for her.

No one, Dhali, it's…

It's just an urgent family call. See you all tomorrow.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am.

But, what is this family emergency that just came up?

Dhali, wallet.

- I'll get you the contact. - Dhali.

You must have a picture of whoever you're calling.

- I'm just checking. - Dhali, please.

- Wait a minute, I just saw something. - Dhali, enough!

I'll get the first aid for you.

- No, no, ma'am. I'm completely fine. - No, no, you're not.

- I'll get it. - I am absolutely fine, ma'am.

Sir.

Sir, I can say with absolute certainty that this man is planning something.

He's up to no good.

You should not trust him too much, sir.

General.

We were just about to begin. Please.

Prime Minister, you called me urgently. Is everything okay?

Mr. Butt has some concerns.

I thought we could discuss them over breakfast?

I've already had breakfast, thank you.

I'll just have some fruit.

So, Mr. Butt.

What concern does the ISI have?

My concern is that

you have cancelled the winter leave of thousands of Tenth Corps soldiers.

Why are they being sent to Skardu?

So much movement of troops on the LoC during the peace talks?

It's a little alarming.

Sir, we have information that some mujahideen

have been planning to infiltrate the valley.

They want to de-rail the peace talks.

As ISI Chief, you haven't received any of this intel till now, maybe.

Sir, we've had to cancel the leave of many people

in order to keep the peace at the border.

And many of our soldiers have been posted there.

Which means you're doing all of this

for the security of the peace talks?

Yes, sir. Of course.

Very thoughtful.

Sir, there has been a power struggle

between the army and the government for many years.

I want to bring about a change.

I would like to show the people that Rawalpindi and Islamabad

can play on the same ground, sir.

We can both work together.

You see, Mr. Butt? Didn't I tell you?

You don't need to worry about General Musharraf at all.

He's on our team.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I've checked a couple of times.

Your name isn't in the approved visitors list.

Sir, if you could just let me speak to Bala…

Uh, Flying Officer Bal Reddy once, please.

He'll explain everything to you.

Sorry, ma'am. There is an exercise underway.

Nothing can be done.

Then let me speak to the CO. Tony Sir, right?

Sorry, sir.

I… didn't know that…

Madhavi was going to come here.

Chou.

- Sir. - Is it possible to put her up

in the VIP Guest House?

Fully occupied, sir.

Sir.

She can stay at our place.

Alka and I will be happy to host Madhavi.

Okay, then.

Baldy, you can get back to work.

Yes, sir.

The siren for the War Game finals

can go off at any moment. We need to be ready.

Our target is going to be Red Land's key airbase.

But this time, we take photos after,

and not before the bombing,

so that we can find out if every bomb fell on its target or not.

Battle damage assessment.

It's a lot more dangerous than photo recon flying.

Because we won't have the element of surprise with us.

Their radars are going to be waiting for us.

And not to forget surface-to-air missile.

So this time we're going to try a new strategy

which will be useful to us not just in war games,

but in an actual war as well.

If this is the enemy's radar screen…

then how many dots will you see on it?

Uh, sir… six.

Exactly.

Six jets in close formation.

So close that the enemy's radar screen shows only one big dot on it.

And the enemy should believe that it's one big transport aircraft.

Until the target, we'll fly in close formation

and break our formation at the last minute,

and take photographs.

And after taking the photos,

before their interceptors arrive,

we would have already crossed the mock LoC

into friendly skies.

Clear?

What's wrong, boys? Too risky?

Dhali?

I was planning to reinstate you.

Well, if you can't do this, then--

No, we… we can do it, sir.

We… we'll do it.

Come again?

We'll do it, sir.

Good.

And Dhali, this time you won't be flying with Goofy.

I've already shuffled your wingmen.

Go check the flying program board.

Baldy, call in position.

I'm at 700. Match my speed.

In position.

Now maintain position, Baldy.

Sangy joining up. Goofy, call in position.

Goofy joining up.

Teekay joining up.

Max joining up.

Tridents, the diamond formation is complete.

Let's maintain speed.

Let's not mess it up, guys.

Baldy, too close, too close. You're falling behind.

Sorry, Sangy, maintaining.

Baldy, it's not a school bus, man, maintain 700.

Dhali, should we reduce speed and match up to Baldy?

Negative. The mission has to be carried out at 700.

- Baldy, increase your speed. - Roger, increasing.

Formation stable at 700.

Ready to turn left.

Baldy, be on guard.

Tridents, turn left 053.

Formation stable at turn, accelerate to 750 now!

Baldy, what the hell are you doing?

You're lagging again.

Baldy, you're not even close to MAC 1. Maintain 750.

I'm… I'm trying.

Why aren't you listening? Let's maintain speed with Baldy.

Negative, let's stick to 750.

Everyone, 750 now.

Baldy, what's wrong with you? We'll collide.

Teekay, peel off! Now!

Teekay peeling off

Arrows, peel off! Abort! Abort! Abort!

Come on, guys.

Sit, sit, sit, please.

What happened? What the hell are you all so sad about?

It was just practice.

It wasn't some war exercise mission, right?

Another round for everyone, please.

Sangy?

We usually celebrate life after close calls, don't we?

We do, sir, but today's call was a bit too close.

We almost collided.

Mm-hmm?

Sir, maybe because we were flying in formation of six for the first time

which is why staying in sync with each other

was a little difficult.

No sir, it was my fault.

Sir, it was my fault. I…

I was struggling to…

match Dhali's speed up there.

Sir, the problem was in the exercise selection.

Okay.

Sir, Ahuja Sir makes us do extremely risky exercises.

Which is fine with me. I'm… I'm up for it.

But suddenly changing my wingman, sir, that's…

How do we achieve perfection?

"Suddenly"?

When a random technical glitch happens in the air, it happens suddenly.

And when it comes to deciding to eject,

no one leaves home thinking they'll have to eject that day.

It all happens suddenly.

I haven't called Ahuja here to conduct routine exercises with all of you.

I've invited him here so he can make you all war ready.

Because when a war breaks out…

it happens suddenly.

If you really consider yourselves fighter pilots…

then you must have the courage to accept every challenge.

Don't complain about it.

We're meant to be razor blades, right?

Yes, sir.

Then bloody behave like one.

Pakistan Zindabad.

Pakistan Zindabad.

Welcome to Skardu, sir.

Hassan.

What the hell are these mujahideen doing at the army base?

This way, sir.

I'll explain it to you.

So the Pakistan Army is going to work with the mujahideen now?

Do you really think they are the mujahideen?

Then the Indians will also think believe it.

They will also believe that the Pakistan Army

has nothing to do with this infiltration.

Because we will only talk to them in Pashto.

But the truth is that they are not mujahideen.

These are 2,000 soldiers from our 12th NLI.

Sir.

You had mentioned eight posts and 100 soldiers.

But the kind of preparations being carried out in Skardu

is nothing less than a war, sir.

General Zia, you look quite fresh today.

It's like the crisp mountain air suits you.

General Zia, the more posts that we end up capturing,

the more pressure we can put on India.

Sir, no doubt, we can hold off the Indian Army

with the height advantage.

But what if they end up getting their air force involved?

We have asked the German and Russian air forces

and double checked this.

It's impossible for any air force,

to operate in that terrain and at those heights.

And this is a proven fact.

Sir, I still feel the least we can do for our soldiers on those peaks

is arm them with Stinger missiles.

The mujahideen.

They are not our soldiers. They are the mujahideen.

You understand?

You are the DGMO, right? So give them the Stinger missiles.

What's wrong?

But sir, Stinger missiles are not regular weapons.

We will surely need the PM's approval for mass mobilization.

You don't have to worry so much, Tauqir.

If Pakistan wants to get Kashmir from India,

then we will have to put in some more effort.

When the time is right,

I'll go to the PM myself and get all the necessary approvals.

We must snatch Kashmir.
