Hercules Formation, abort mission.

Negative. We can't return without Hyena 2.

Hercules 1, it is too risky.

There are Stingers out there, Hercules.

Nishi is alone. I won't come back until I've found him.

Deviating from your planned mission.

Stinger spotted.

Chief, there's some good news.

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

Excellent.

Now let's see

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

For the last 52 years, the India-Pakistan border

has been engulfed by war, suspicion, and mistrust.

And last year, when the two countries conducted nuclear tests,

this mistrust reached its peak.

It was called the most dangerous event in the world after World War II.

But just seven months later, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee

accepted Nawaz Sharif's invitation,

and announced the historic Lahore Bus Yatra.

Now the question is,

"Will the defense forces of both countries be able to trust this peace?"

Gentlemen, peace or no peace.

This year too, the Western Air Command's war game exercise

will take place as scheduled.

Like every year, this will be a test of your flying skills,

alertness, innovation,

and bravery.

This year too, all the squadrons will be split into two teams.

Red Land and Blue Land.

But this year,

for the first time,

in Blue Land,

a Photo Recce Squadron will also be involved.

Golden Arrows, led by Wing Commander Tony Dhanoa,

who will conduct reconnaissance for the bomb squadron Wolfpack,

identify targets,

and assess post-strike damage.

In the next month,

there will be five operational rounds,

then the semi-finals,

and finals.

Any questions?

No, sir!

Gentlemen, before this exercise, I asked you all,

"How will you ensure your squadrons are war-ready?"

And I have received your requirements.

Jammer pods,

self-defense system,

advanced flying simulators.

And someone even asked for night-vision goggles.

But, Tony,

you haven't asked for a thing.

Sir, in my squadron,

I have some of the youngest fighter pilots of the Western Air Command.

They're academy-trained,

but it's their first time flying the MiG-21 operationally.

Sir, you and I both know

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

Before they become war-ready,

I want my boys to be MiG-ready.

And for that, we don't need any equipment.

We need a good coach.

And who is this coach?

Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja.

I can't think of a better name than him to turn my boys into men.

Sorry, Alka.

We need to keep moving because of me.

"Sorry"?

I was about to say thank you.

"Thank you," why?

For so many new sarees.

At a new posting,

even old sarees become new.

Hey, champion.

Come on, tell me.

Fourteen eights are?

- One, one, two. - Too slow.

Do you want to become a fighter pilot or not?

A fighter pilot has to solve math problems in a second.

1700 hours. Be ready.

There's an even bigger swimming pool here.

Okay, Dad.

- Bye. - Bye.

You have become a flight commander,

at least buy a decent bike.

I have 16 MiGs, ma'am.

If the Flight Commander rides in on a scooter from the Stone Age,

what impression will it make on the boys?

Sir, why is everyone obsessed with my scooter?

In any case, if you come to think of it,

our MiGs are older than my scooter.

Right, Tony sir?

You and your twisted logic.

Come here. Come.

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 approach the target,

fly low and take photos.

Then enlarge these photos

and share the exact strike coordinates with the bombing squadron.

As soon as you cross this make-shift LoC, the timer will start.

Forty-five seconds.

If you haven't returned within 45 seconds,

Red Land's surface-to-air missiles

will lock on to you,

and for all practical purposes, you're dead,

and we'll 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.

Ajay was supposed to join us tomorrow.

But I guess he was dying to see you guys.

What do you think our strategy should be?

The enemy will have missiles, sir.

We must fly the mission in radio silence.

I am not talking about that mission.

I'm talking about the India-Pakistan peace summit on 19th February.

For the first time in 52 years,

our prime minister will be going to Pakistan by road.

What are your thoughts about this bus trip?

I think this is a good step, sir.

Both have nuclear weapons.

It's very important to find a permanent solution.

Sir, a permanent solution is impossible.

- Tensions may subside a little, that's it. - How?

Mistake.

This is a big mistake, sir.

A country like Pakistan cannot be trusted.

Peace is also necessary between India and Pakistan.

The other country should also have the same intention, right, Baldy?

Ahuja, what do you think?

Sir, I don't think about all this.

Exactly!

You shouldn't even think about it. Politics is not the Air Force's concern.

We are razor blades.

We are trained to cut, not to think about all this.

We are 17 points behind.

If you don't get 20 points in the semi-finals,

no matter how many fancy maneuvers you do,

Red land will end up winning.

Chou.

Boys for the mission?

Dhali and Goofy.

Boys,

this is the closest you will get to experiencing war.

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

And I will not lose this time either.

Go get me those points.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Long live Pakistan, sir.

Long live.

Sir, what brings you here?

The World Cup is around the corner,

so I thought I'd give the players a little encouragement.

Anyway, there's hardly any difference between players and soldiers.

We are always fighting for the next war.

Very true, sir.

Junaid was six years old.

Even then he wanted to become a fast bowler.

Sir, you still remember?

Of course, Tauqir.

Inshallah, he will soon play

for Pakistan's cricket team too.

How, sir? With Younis, Akhtar...

Akram and all in the mix, it is difficult, sir.

Tauqir sahib,

when his own father

is set to become the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board,

what difficulty will he face?

Sir?

A new PCB chairman will be elected in December.

For this post, who could be better than

the Pakistan Army's star sportsperson?

Sir, the Pakistan team is a big responsibility.

Are you afraid to take on responsibility?

No, sir.

Can you get Pakistan another World Cup?

I will try, sir.

Then surely you'll also get Kashmir for Pakistan?

Kashmir, sir?

Every year, the armies of both countries

descend from the snowy mountain peaks of Kashmir,

as per the Simla Agreement.

And as DGMO, it is your office that gives these orders, right?

Right, sir.

But this time, our soldiers will not descend.

But, sir, this is a violation of the Simla Agreement--

This is also a direct violation of the LoC.

Because this time, our soldiers will go forward.

To capture all those posts across the LoC

that India will have vacated, honoring the agreement.

Especially those posts

from where India's National Highway 1

will be in our direct line of sight.

But, sir,

Mian sahib is about to begin peace talks with India.

So?

Pardon me, sir.

Is the Prime Minister aware of this operation?

It's an army operation, General Zia.

What is the need for Mian sahib in this?

Are the posters for the peace talks ready?

Sir, the layout is ready.

Is the meeting with Faiz sahib's daughter fixed?

No, sir. He's--

Vajpayee sahib is a great admirer of Faiz.

This should be looked into on priority.

Yes, sir.

Sir, your father's asking for you.

The cabinet has been waiting for a while.

This is filled with mistakes.

Mr. Aqil,

Vajpayee sahib will be the first Indian prime minister

to set foot in Minar-e-Pakistan.

Understand the significance of these talks.

- Okay, I'll come. - Yes, sir.

Please be seated, everyone.

So, what is the agenda for today's meeting?

- The peace talks only, sir. - Really?

Our suggestion is that during the talks,

we propose the Chenab River as the new Line of Control.

This...

The LoC will be like this,

visible even from the moon.

We've talked about this before, haven't we?

India will never accept this 80-20 division in Pakistan's favor.

Sir,

the Chenab River evenly divides the Hindu and Muslim populations of Kashmir.

- It's the ideal solution to the conflict. - Aziz sahib.

I'm the one speaking to Vajpayee sahib every day.

He will never agree to this.

Nawaz...

By all means, do keep up your friendly chats with him.

But in the "real" negotiations, follow Aziz sahib's lead.

When it comes to diplomatic talks, he has far more experience than all of us.

Yes, Abba ji.

Should we move on to India's draft, sir?

What is your opinion on this, Aziz sahib?

Sir, the Chief has appointed his loyalists to all key army positions.

So?

Sir, our political history shows that,

whenever the army has expanded its reach, the outcome has not been good.

Butt sahib, I bypassed three seniors and made him Army Chief.

Now, if he wants to savor the feeling of being chief, let him.

How does it matter?

Sir, this is a matter of border positions.

If the chief tries anything reckless in the valley,

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

As for me, it's my job to warn you, sir.

Yes, of course.

And my job is to tell the difference.

You focus on ISI operations, not on General Musharraf.

The new flight commander isn't exactly giving off commander vibes.

You never judge a jet's power by the size of its body, Goofy.

Getting a feeling from the mission?

Bad weather above, anti-aircraft guns below.

There is danger everywhere.

Of course I'm feeling good about it

Perfect.

Happy landings, Goofy.

Trident taxy via link Alpha Runway 2-7-QNH-1-0-0-2.

Link Alpha, Runway 2-7-1-0-0-2, copied.

Trident in sequence.

Trident sequence, monitored.

Sir.

Vanguard Control, Trident Formation, ready to take off.

These rolls were part of the briefing?

Sir, that's Flying Officer Dhaliwal.

Very talented.

And a bit of a show-off too, sir.

Can we go to the ops room?

Sure, sir.

Sir, would you be attending the debrief today?

On my first day?

- I think today I'll just observe? - Right, 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 heavy patch coming your way--

RT silence, Khan.

Whatever it is, I will handle it.

Trident 2, Vanguard Control.

Exercise caution for large cloud buildup in sector.

Zero-four-zero, 30 kilometers.

Roger. Copy, Trident 2.

RT silence, Goofy. Do you want to gossip on channel 2?

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

Right now we're up in the air, aren't we, Goofy?

So just follow my lead.

This is the semi-final mission.

No matter what, we will complete it on time.

Vanguard Control, Trident 2,

leader is not responding. Going ahead as planned.

Trident Formation,

lost Joy on you.

Trident Formation, confirm monitored.

Shit!

Dhali!

Trident Formation, confirm ops normal.

Trident Formation, confirm ops normal.

Affirmative. Heading to the party.

Close shave, boys.

But the real mission starts now.

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 changed my mind, Chou.

I... will attend the debriefing.

- Sergeant, take the camera to the PIC. - Sir.

Are you okay?

That was a bit much, don't you think?

You felt good about it, didn't you?

Goofy, why did you

follow instead of aborting the mission?

Sir, the leader asked me to follow, so there was no option to abort.

Textbook wingman call.

Well done.

And you? Ground orders were clear.

So why did you

take the risk of flying into the clouds?

For 20 mission points, sir.

The risk of collision for both pilots was very high during cloud flying.

Did you factor that in?

Sir, we've flown together for a year.

We completely trust each other, sir.

And, suppose,

while flying in the clouds,

you became disoriented?

We could've easily reoriented, sir.

Only our squadron has a global positioning system.

Grounded.

For one week.

No sorties.

Sorry, sir?

For a week, you will only perform ground duties.

Bird clearance, paperwork...

You'll interpret photos from the other pilots' sorties.

Pardon me, sir. But why?

The mission needed to be completed, and I only took a calculated risk.

Sir, if we didn't do this,

we would have lost, and the entire blame would have fallen on Golden Arrows.

It's as simple as that, sir.

And, there was no other way, sir.

Does everyone feel the same,

that

there was no other way?

There was, sir.

There was a way.

Go on, Baldy. Explain.

Sir, dogleg maneuver.

You could have gone around the cloud.

And the time that would have gone into rerouting?

Two minutes at the most.

The length of the cloud was ten kilometers.

And a detour around the clouds... that's 20 kilometers.

What about the extra fuel the detour would've cost?

Sir, at a speed of 800 kmph,

we probably used way more fuel handling the cloud turbulence

than the extra amount needed to cover that ten-kilometer difference.

I think dogleg was a safer and more efficient option.

Clearly, what is safe for me

is dangerous for our "professor sahib" here.

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

So, you agree.

That there was another way.

Sir, in that moment, it was just me up in the air.

You weren't there and nor was he.

And if it were wartime, sir, would we still abort--

Grounded for two weeks, Dhaliwal.

Let's save the risk for a real war.

There is no war going on right now.

As-salamu alaykum, Chief.

I have an urgent update to give.

Lieutenant General Aziz

and Lieutenant General Mahmud are both on the line.

Tell me.

Sir, as per the plan,

soldiers from our 12NLI have captured eight vacant Indian posts.

But as they moved forward,

they found many more hidden posts we were not even aware of.

It's clear that India is guarding NH1 like a fortress.

And now that India is honoring the agreement

and stepping down from all these posts,

we should take full advantage of this situation.

I think we should take them all, sir.

Hassan, to hold posts across such a vast area,

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

We're already violating the Simla Agreement

by crossing the LoC in winter.

Capturing 200 square kilometers of area would be a major invasion.

General Mahmud, do you set out to capture Kashmir every day?

No, sir.

So, you'll never get a better opportunity than this.

- General Hassan. - Yes, sir.

Start preparing to capture all those posts.

Not even in their wildest dreams would they imagine

we could do something like this.

In this operation, our audacity will be our greatest strength.

Start making a list of supplies. I'm sending Tauqir Zia to you.

- Long live Pakistan. - Long live Pakistan, sir.

Dhali. I have some good news.

The bombing squadron destroyed Red Land's comms base.

And we won the semi-finals.

- I know. - That's true.

But I got my next posting.

Mirage Squadron.

Mir--

Straight from Maruti to Ferrari.

Congratulations, Sangy.

Hopefully, there's no flight commander there who punishes risk-taking.

Let it go, Dhali. You won us the semi-finals, man.

Let's celebrate that today.

Let's go. Drinks are on me tonight.

No, man. Have fun. I'm not in the mood. Thank you.

It is unfair.

Let's all talk to him together. Let's see what Ahuja sir says.

Yes, let's see.

He's the Flight Commander.

He'll do whatever he wants, nobody can say a thing.

So what if he's the flight commander? We're bachelors too!

Maybe we can't reason with him,

but we can definitely mess with him.

Let's go.

Where is Professor sahib?

He'll be where he is every evening.

Okay. Let's go then!

Bala, do you love me or not?

What kind of question is that?

Of course I do.

So, will you elope with me?

Madhavi, I haven't even become a flight lieutenant yet.

My training is still going on.

Right now, I don't think it's the right time.

There's a lot of pressure at home. Please try to understand.

Bouncing?

You guys go.

We are not asking.

Madhavi, I will call you in an hour.

Hello?

It got cut.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello, ma'am.

Aren't you guys quite late?

In the previous squadron,

the bachelors had come to bounce on the second day itself.

Your team has arrived.

Finally.

Welcome home, boys.

I don't drink.

But I get others drunk. This bar is all yours. Help yourself.

You're in some form, huh, Dhali?

- It's my second, man. It's his seventh. - It's your seventh?

It's all free while bouncing, no? So he's drinking his heart's fill!

Doesn't want to pay for his drinks!

Let's go.

Start chopping.

We will make my special dish.

You want to eat, right?

- Yes, ma'am. - Then get started.

What are you looking at? This house belongs to Alka ma'am.

I just live here.

Come on.

I'll chop the carrots.

I'll chop the potatoes.

Bro, it feels like coming here to bounce has backfired.

Honestly, these two seem way more in sync than us.

What's all this whispering?

If you wanted to talk to each other, why did you come here to bounce?

Let's all hear it, come on.

Sir, actually, Max was asking

about the war game exercise finals--

Bouncing rule number one in this house,

there will be no talk of flying.

- No talk of flying, bro. - There won't be.

- Sir. - Thank you, Sangy.

But, ma'am, this is a very unfair rule.

If this was a rule in my house, I would never have 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 was an amazing cook.

So, all the fighter pilots used to come to bounce at our house.

Growing up listening to all their flying stories,

one day I got bitten by the bug.

Where is Dad posted now?

- He's retired. - He's retired.

Wing Commander Dhaliwal.

'69 batch.

Disciplined officer.

- I'd met him briefly in Tezpur. - Hey, one minute.

Ahuja sir has a file on everyone. But I don't know anything.

So how did the rest of you catch this bug?

- Yes? - Sangy.

Ma'am, where I come from, the only way to get out of town is to join the army.

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

But neither of them could fight in a war.

So, I'm just trying to pay off that debt.

Ma'am, he doesn't drink much, so he's always caught between debt and duty.

Ma'am, when you said "special," I had something else in mind.

I never imagined pulao could be so good.

What's in it?

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

But I have to leave now. I have an urgent call to make.

Well, who's going to wash the dishes? Forgotten the tradition?

By the way, Baldy, you can call from here too.

- We have an STD connection. - Yes, do it.

Sir, he wants to make a private call from a public booth.

You can go, Baldy.

Dhali, you can do Baldy's share of the dishes.

Yes. Sure, ma'am.

But who is she, Professor sahib?

You're ditching the entire squadron for her.

No one, Dhali. I have an urgent family call.

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

But what family emergency came up?

Dhali, wallet.

I'm just taking out her contact for everyone.

There must be a photo of the person in here.

- I'm just checking, man. - Don't do it.

- Hey, wait a minute. Here it is. I see it. - Dhali!

I'll get the first aid kit.

Oh, no, ma'am.

- I'm completely fine. I'm absolutely okay. - No, you're not.

I am absolutely fine, ma'am.

Sir.

Mian sahib, I can say with certainty that this fellow is up to no good.

You should not trust him too much.

General.

We were just about to start. Come.

Sir, you called me so urgently. Is everything all right?

Butt sahib has some concerns.

I thought I'd take this opportunity to also have breakfast with you.

I've already had breakfast, Mian sahib. But I'll have some fruit.

Tell me, Butt sahib. What are the ISI's concerns?

The concern is

why are we cancelling the winter holidays of thousands of soldiers of the X Corps

and sending them to Skardu?

Such heavy troop movement along the LoC during peace talks?

It's a bit alarming.

Sir, we have intel that some Mujahideen are planning to infiltrate the valley

in order to derail the peace talks.

As ISI Chief, perhaps you didn't get this piece of intel.

Sir, to maintain peace at the border, many leaves have been canceled.

Many have been deployed along the border.

So this means you are

doing this to protect the security of the peace talks?

Yes, sir. Of course.

Very thoughtful.

Sir, the army and the government have been locked in a tug-of-war for a long time.

I want to put an end to this.

I want to show the public that Rawalpindi and Islamabad

can play on the same pitch, sir.

We can work together.

See, Butt sahib. I told you, didn't I?

There's no need to worry about General Musharraf.

He is playing on our team.

I am sorry, ma'am. I've double-checked.

Your name is not on the approved visitor list.

Sir, please just connect me to Bala once...

I mean, put me through to Flying Officer Bal Reddy.

He'll explain everything to you.

Sorry, madam. An exercise is going on. Nothing can be done right now.

Then let me talk to the CO. Tony sir, right?

Sorry, sir.

I had no idea

Madhavi was coming here.

- Chou. - Sir?

Can she be accommodated in the VIP guesthouse?

Fully occupied, sir.

Sir...

she can stay with us.

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 anytime. We need to be ready.

Our target will be Red Land's key airbase.

But this time we'll take photos after the bombing, not before,

to find out if the bombs hit their target or not.

Battle damage assessment is far more dangerous than photo recon flying.

Because we won't have the element of surprise.

Their radars will be waiting for us.

And they'll certainly have surface-to-air missiles.

So this time, we will try a new strategy.

This strategy will serve us not only in a war game, but also in war.

If this is the enemy's radar screen...

how many dots will be visible on it?

Sir, six.

Exactly.

Six jets in close formation.

So close that it should appear as one big dot on the enemy's radar screen.

And the enemy should think it's a large transport aircraft.

We will fly in close formation up to the target.

And at the last minute, we'll break formation and click photos.

And after clicking photos, before their interceptors arrive,

we will have crossed the mock LoC.

Into friendly skies. Clear?

What's wrong, boys? Too risky?

Dhali, I was going to reinstate you.

- But okay. If you can't, then-- - No. We can, sir.

We will do it.

- Come again? - We'll do it, sir!

Good.

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

I've shuffled everyone's wingmen. 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, Diamond formation is complete.

Let's maintain speed. Let's not mess it up, guys.

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

Sorry, Sangy. Maintaining.

Baldy, it's not a school bus. Maintain 700.

- Dhali, slow down and match Baldy's speed? - Negative.

The mission also has to be carried out at this speed, right?

- Baldy, increase your speed. - Roger.

Increasing.

Formation stable at 700.

Ready to turn left.

Baldy, be on guard.

Tridents, pan left 0-5-3.

Formation stable at turn. Accelerate to 750 now!

Baldy, what are you doing? You're falling behind again.

Baldy, we're not even close to Mach 1! Maintain 750.

I'm trying.

Dhali, why aren't you listening?

- Let's maintain speed with Baldy. - Negative. Let's stick to 750.

Everyone, 750 now!

Baldy, what are you doing, man? 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? Why is everyone in such a bad mood?

It was a practice sortie, not a war exercise mission.

Another round for everyone, please.

Sangy?

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

We do celebrate, sir. But this call was way too close.

We almost collided.

It was probably the first time we were flying in a formation of six.

And so, it became a little difficult to stay in sync with each other.

No, sir. I am to blame for this.

Sir, it was my fault.

I...

I was having trouble matching Dhali's speed.

Sir, the problem... was the choice of exercise.

Okay.

Sir, Ahuja sir makes us do an extremely risky exercise.

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

But then, to suddenly shuffle our wingmen, sir.

How will perfection be achieved, sir?

Suddenly?

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

When the decision to eject has to be made,

no one leaves home thinking that they will have to eject today.

It happens suddenly.

I haven't called Ahuja here for your routine exercises.

I've called him so he can prepare you for war.

Because when war breaks out,

even that happens suddenly.

If you guys think of yourselves as fighter pilots,

then have the courage to accept a challenge,

and not just complain about it.

We're meant to be razor blades. Right?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Then bloody behave like one.

- Long live Pakistan. - Long live Pakistan.

Welcome to Skardu, sir.

Hassan,

what are Mujahideen doing at this army base?

Come, sir.

I'll explain it to you.

So the Pakistan Army will now work with Mujahideen?

Do they seem like Mujahideen to you?

Then that's how they'll seem to the Indians too.

Then, it will also seem to them that the Pakistan Army has no role in this.

Because we will only speak to them in Pashto.

But the truth is, these are not Mujahideen.

They are 2,000 soldiers of our 12 NLI.

- Naara-e-Takbeer! - Allah-hu-Akbar!

-Naara-e-Takbeer! - Allah-hu-Akbar!

Sir.

You briefed me on eight posts and 100 soldiers.

The preparations underway in Skardu... it's no less than a war, sir.

General Zia, you look quite refreshed.

Looks like fresh mountain air suits you rather well.

General Zia, the more posts we capture,

the more pressure we can put on India.

Undoubtedly, the height advantage will allow us to take on the Indian Army.

But what if they involve their air force?

We have double-checked with the German and Russian Air Forces.

In that terrain, at those heights, no Air Force in the world can operate!

And this is a proven fact.

Sir, still I feel

our soldiers on the peaks should be armed with Stinger missiles.

"Mujahideen."

Not our soldiers, Mujahideen, General Zia.

Aren't you the DGMO? Give them the Stingers.

What's the big deal?

For large-scale mobilization, we will need the PM's approval.

You worry too much, Tauqir.

If we are to snatch Kashmir from India,

When the time comes, I'll get Mian sahib to sign off on everything.

We have to seize Kashmir.
