Op Sindoor Series, Ep - 4 | Vir Chakra Gallantry | Truck Fail Hue... Haathon Se Kheenchi Toopein!

Long before the first round was fired, Operation Sindoor unfolded in silence — through anticipation, preparation, and decisions made under absolute secrecy by a Commanding Officer who could not share the burden with anyone.

In Episode 4 of our special series on Monks & Warriors: Operation Sindoor, we take you inside the mind of a serving Commanding Officer, where preparation begins without orders, secrecy becomes a burden, and leadership that can change history.

Episode 4 focus to the unseen war — the war of anticipation, planning, precision, and pressure — where a single mistake is not an option.

🔹 Colonel Kaushank Lamba, Vir Chakra — Artillery Regiment
A serving Commanding Officer from a specialized artillery unit, Colonel Lamba played a decisive role during Operation Sindoor, where his unit was tasked with destroying two high-value terror targets from a declassified list of nine.

This is not just the story of guns firing —
it is the story of how war begins in the mind of a commander.

From maintaining absolute operational secrecy, to mobilising a unit spread nearly 2000 km away, to preparing for road, rail, and air movement without revealing intent — Colonel Lamba breaks down how leadership operates when you cannot ask for advice, cannot share the burden, and cannot afford doubt.

He takes us inside the most intense phase of Operation Sindoor — the night when months of preparation condensed into minutes of irreversible action.
The moment when the codeword “Asli” was spoken — and training turned into live fire.

This episode goes beyond headlines and strike claims. You will understand:

The Commander’s Burden:
What it means to carry operational secrecy alone — unable to consult, unable to hesitate.

Preparation Without Orders:
How a unit is silently pushed to the highest state of readiness before war is officially declared.

Target Analysis & Precision Fire:
How satellite imagery, live intelligence, structure analysis, and timing come together to ensure pin-point accuracy with zero collateral damage.

Fire Under Retaliation:
What happens when enemy counter-bombardment begins within minutes — and why stopping fire is never an option.

Leadership in Live Combat:
How calm, visibility, and presence of the Commanding Officer keeps soldiers steady when artillery shells land within 50 meters.

The Human Side of War:
Families left without answers, phones locked away, and the unspoken understanding between soldiers and their loved ones.

Why the Mission Comes First:
The mindset that ensures the objective is achieved — and every soldier returns home.

No exaggeration.
No cinematic fiction.
Only first-hand accounts from a serving Commanding Officer who planned, executed, and witnessed Operation Sindoor from the inside.

This is the story of anticipation, precision, secrecy, and resolve.
This is the story of how two targets were destroyed — and how leadership truly works under fire.
