"SOPs are written in blood." - Group Captain Shreepad Tokekar, Vayu Sena Medal
Tonight, we step inside the cockpit of a warrior who mastered the art of precision and the burden of split-second decisions at 900 km/h. This conversation is an unfiltered look at the air war over Kargil—where high-altitude physics, technical grit, and professional restraint decide the fate of a nation.
From spotting a high-value helicopter likely carrying the enemy Prime Minister to the massive "9,000kg" strike that flattened a secret logistics hub, this is the raw reality of the war in the clouds.
Through first-hand accounts, this conversation explores:
• The 9,000kg Strike: The tactical execution of dropping 36 bombs to erase the Muntho Dhalo logistics node.
• 35G Reality: The brutal physical toll of ejection where the spine is compressed by up to 35 times your body weight.
• The Nawaz Sharif Incident: spotting a white helicopter in the sights and the discipline of honoring the LoC over an unauthorized kill.
• 120 Meters from Death: The zero-margin pressure of dropping 1,000lb bombs while Indian troops were just meters away from the impact.
• Invisible Combat: Why Pakistani F-16s were forced to maintain a 30km distance against Indian BVR missile technology.
• The Lone Warrior: How the junior-most pilot in the squadron carried the weight of the Air Force's most critical strikes.
🎖️ These are not stories for spectacle—they are lessons written in experience.
🎙️ A rare, grounded conversation on air warfare, discipline, and reality.
📺 Now live on Monks & Warriors.

SWO PRATEEK MAHTHA, CCV, NDM (Part 2)
"We don’t pay for the same real estate twice."
Tonight, we go beyond the uniform to the raw mechanics of survival. Part 2 explores the transition from a soldier of the Legion to a patriot building for his motherland. This isn't a lecture on strategy; it's a deep dive into the "Economy of Action" where every movement and every word is calculated to keep you alive.
From the high-stakes rescue of 525 girls in Africa to the brutal selection process where your identity is erased before you even step foot in the barracks.
🎙️ Tonight on Monks & Warriors | From 6 PM onwards

sometimes it is rewarded with endurance, sacrifice, and resilience.

What really happens when Special Warfare Operators move into the most hostile conflict zones in the world?
In this intense episode, we sit down with Prateek Mahtha, a Special Warfare Operator (CCV, NDM – Combat Bravery), whose operational journey spans Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, serving with foreign and multinational Special Operations units.
Drawn directly from real operational experience, Prateek takes us deep into the ground reality of modern warfare — where nothing is safe, assumptions get people killed, and every movement carries consequence.
From identifying hidden threats in urban environments…
To operating in convoy movements and contested zones…
To moments where even a body could not be trusted…
This episode strips away myths and presents warfare as it truly is.
Through first-hand accounts, the conversation explores:
• The mindset of a Special Warfare Operator
• Multinational Special Operations environments
• Urban and high-risk operational realities
• Decision-making under extreme pressure
• Discipline, restraint, and responsibility in combat zones
• Why survival depends more on judgment than firepower
🎖️ These are not stories for spectacle — they are lessons written by experience.
🎙️ A rare, grounded conversation on special warfare, discipline, and reality.

🔥 Special episode today at 6 PM 🔥
SWO PRATEEK MAHTHA, CCV, NDM (Combat Bravery)
A Special Warfare Operator forged in real combat — not from the Indian Army.
SWO Prateek Mahtha has served with foreign and multinational Special Operations forces, operating across Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and Nigeria in some of the world’s most hostile counter-terr0r theatres.
His understanding of soldiering comes from missions where decisions are made in seconds, silence is survival, and consequences are permanent — far removed from ceremony, publicity, or labels.
This is not a story about nationality or uniforms —
it’s an unfiltered conversation about how elite soldiers actually fight, think, endure, and survive when war becomes brutally real.

It is an honour to host Dr. Ujjwal Chugh — a man whose journey was shaped as much by rejection as by discipline, conviction, and service.
This debrief goes beyond success and motivation. Through deeply personal experiences of cracking NDA and SSB twice, facing medical rejection at the final threshold, and rebuilding life with purpose, he speaks about resilience, acceptance, and trusting the process when dreams collapse.
His story reflects a hard truth:
Strength is not always rewarded with what you want —
sometimes it is rewarded with responsibility.
A must-watch for anyone navigating failure, purpose, leadership, and the discipline to keep moving forward.

On this day in 1949, a historic transition took place as Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa took over as the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army. 🇮🇳
Today, we celebrate that legacy—carried forward by generations of brave soldiers who have kept our tricolor flying high.
Happy Indian Army Day! ⚔️🪖

He walked into the enemy’s den, lived among them as 'Iftikhar Bhatt', and destroyed them from the inside.
Major Mohit Sharma was not just a soldier; he was a master of warfare. A recipient of the Ashok Chakra and the Sena Medal, he set a standard of bravery that few can match. Today, on his birth anniversary, we salute the officer who made the ultimate sacrifice for the Tricolour.
Rest in Power, Major. 🦅⚡
