In this episode, we sit down with Vishnu Som for one of the most detailed and unfiltered conversations on modern warfare, military strategy, and India’s defense operations.

From stepping inside an Air Force aircraft as a civilian to experiencing intense G-forces mid-flight, Vishnu breaks down what really happens behind the scenes of high-stakes missions. We dive deep into Operation Sindoor — its targets, execution, and whether it’s still ongoing — along with the reality of casualties and how civilians are protected during conflict.

The conversation goes beyond headlines. Vishnu shares what it feels like to be in front of a gun, an unforgettable story from Operation Sindoor, and his candid interaction with a Group Captain that reveals how trust is built inside the armed forces.

We also simplify complex defense systems like the S-400 missile system and address the bigger question — has India truly responded to attacks like Pahalgam?

This episode is a rare mix of ground reality, strategy, and storytelling — giving you a perspective on defense that most people never get to hear.
