Inside the Life of an Indian Fighter Pilot, 900 km/hr Dogfights, Bombs & Bravery | Wg Cdr Amit Sathe

What does it feel like to fly at 900 km/hr just 50 meters above the ground? how much risk does a fighter pilot take every single day? in this powerful episode of monks and warriors, we sit down with wing commander amit sathe, indian air force veteran, helicopter and fighter pilot, who takes us inside the cockpit and inside the mind of an air warrior.

From the thrill of dogfights and air combat, to the precision of dropping bombs in enemy territory, to the mental strength required when every second decides life or death — this conversation reveals the courage, training, and passion that make india’s fighter pilots truly special.

He explains how mig-21s and modern jets operate, how missions like balakot and op sindhur are executed, and what goes on when the indian air force faces real threats across borders.
this episode also touches upon brahmos missiles, radar evasion, bombing accuracy, and the spirit of the nda (national defence academy) that shapes india’s finest officers.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to wear the wings of the indian air force — this episode will make you salute our warriors in the sky.
