Go India -Respect from Denmark!

Thank u
Love from India❣️
Love from india
Love you from India
Brig.chandpuri ,his platoon and all air warriors are our true heroes.... love from kashmir...
The air force officers claim that army faked the gallant
27:12 My highest respect to D K Dass, who spearheaded the air attack. He singlehandedly saved Longewal then Jaisalmer, then so on. No one else was in a position to deliver but him and his second help Gossain. Just look at the spirit of this old man, he's got such a positive disposition while telling us how he taxied out the plane in pitch black darkness. Thanks you D K Dass. You are a true son of Ma-Bharati !!
Very well Said.
Indian Air force badly defeated by Pakistan air force in every airial war .
Every Indian everyday sleeps as we know we have the best men taking care of our borders. Just see the calm in their voice and a silent but brutally honest commitment they have towards Indian defence forces. Because of this we wake up everyday and work hard for our country. Being Indian I know if there is a single soldier standing no enemy can pass and hurt India. Salute to our defence forces.
We’re proud of you Indian Air Force Indian Army and Indian navy salute to you all jai jawan jai hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

😂😂😂😂😂sahi hai bro😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜wah bahi kya comment kiya yr
Correct u said my brother..
Yes definitely, they are badtatds
Singh is King! As long as Singhs (lions) are there to defend India, any evil eye cast upon India will be blinded exactly like this.
Great Sir ji
Jo bole sohnihaal
Sat sri akal
But also remember 1984
Not only sikhs brother but also every every jawan
Exactly. If such footage was captured, it could have been tele casted again and again to:
Demoralize the entire Pakistan (psy ops)
Awakening the Indian spirit.
Tell the entire world that India is second to non......
Any way all the best from Sri Lanka
Love from India
He is the Hero who saved Longewala with only one Company of 120 Punjab Regiment a FILM ON THE SAME THE BORDER was Hit movie of SUNNI DEol.
Imagine just try to think... Sitting with 120 men facing 2 tank regiments coming towards you to kill you. They stood their ground and pushed them back. Lesser humans will break standing there in this situation. Love the Indian Army, airforce and Navy.
One tank regiment consists of 45 to 50 tanks .
Longewal was attacked by 01 regiment strong ( numerically)
of tanks .
Not 2 , as remarked by you.
@@rajatshubhrosengupta284 I didn’t know that, Thanks Rajat. But still imagine standing up to that and holding them with 1 RCL and small arms fire. It’s not odds unheard of.
In modern combat history it is definitely unique. They stood up against the enemy and fought knowing well that capture meant a tortured death. Great Soldiers of Bharat. Absolutely incredible valour and there are interviews of Sir Chandpuri, all remained calm and defended their position.
Very SURPRISINGLY & SHOCKINGLY, Air Marshal
M S Bawa, then a Wing Commander in charge of Air Defence , based at Jaisalmer, has rejected the Longewal Battle by the small group of our Army Jawans , as a fake , fabricated event.
The battle was settled by the IAF Hunters from Jaisalmer , as claimed by him.
There is a U Tube post of AM Shri M S Bawa
where he is quite categorical on this, and has dismissed the claims of our Army jawans having won the battle.
Very confusing comments from the Air Marshal .
thank you for providing this amazing documentary my friend
OMG,
D.K.Das explain everything that happened , we understand very clearly by visual in mind,
Hats of to all of you sir,
Jai Hind.
Das Sir ji ... You were great ..we are proud of you.. you all were real heros

23 min left for part 2 - impatient !!!!! - this narrative is just AMAZING !!!!! - at least 10 pages discussion on BR :)
These great tales of brave air warriors must be included in our history and literature books to influence the intellect young minds of our nation, Jai Hind
Wow !!! Direct hit thats too in unfavorable conditions !
Jai Hind, Jai Hind ki Sena !
Pls give some coverage of the Indo -China war
My uncle just 21 year old 2nd Lt got his posting at NEFA just passing from IMA Dehradun.
He did not draw his first salary also.
16 Grenadiers was his unit.
He was awarded the Mahavir Chakra award posthumously.
Jai Hind
shame on previous Indian governments on not listening to the armed forces and not investing in them substantially but SALUTE TO THE JAWANS OF THE FORCES FOR PROTECTING INDIA AND NOT LETTING THE NATION DOWN. NEVER BEFORE HAVE SO MANY OWED SO MUCH TO SO FEW. JO BOLE SO NEHAL SAT SIRI AKAL.
Fuckin tactical failure of Army commands, for ignoring such important location as Longewala.. What has got the previous Government to do with? @sshole do you think IG was as lucky as Modi who sat on a fucking GDP of 2.05 Trillion $s and still complaints about previous Governments...Will he bloody concentrate on do something or keep throwing the fuckin blame on the previous Governments..
Agree u bro !
@@drindianguru1 in the war of '71 we captured 93000 paxtanis. They captured 54 indians. IG didn't even asked them to be released. So yes they are to be blamed. As for the economy, if you can only take it to $2b in 70 f*king years, even after having so much resources, because you have been following stupid socialist policies, then yes, you are stupid.
Our Big Salute to our ground and air warriors who were engaged in fighting in Longewala Border during 1971 war with Pakistani tank division advancing in our territory to control Jaisalmer sector, these worriers saved Indian's prestige and us , we will always indebted to our great heroes.

Salute IAF U all Rock!!!!
Me, starting this video: PLEASE BE IN ENGLISH...PLEASE BE IN ENGLISH. So many great documentaries about this conflict and so few that I can understand.
Where are u from mate?
Yea i realise there is very less English version documentary of great air duals that happened in 1971 indo-pak war
great documentry, I think the Hunters were much better suited to CAS than aircombat.We need one on the service of Mig-23BN and Mig-23MF with indian airforce
Are you dumb we should avoid russian mig now
Great Narrative(s) with visuals, videos. Hail IAF.
Joh maut ko bole - tu ruk me abhi mission pura karna hai woh Hind ki Sena hai. Jaihind
Thanks a lot Shiv!
Moral boosting to listen the heroic attacks by IAF. However, background music sound is irritating. Jai Hind.
Wonderful. Continue your great work!!!
Thank You very much for this video, Very good to see our veteran Heroes,
Hats off to all Army, Navy & Air Force Heroes,
Jai Hind, Jai India
awesome video or documentary i hope the Indian media will pay tribute n tell all those who don't know bout the war so that they shud know it .......just living in safe homes will never tell the truth,knowing d reality of life, experiencing it or at least knowing it will help em and everyone who had layed their lives or still at work n doing a superb work ..for those who dont care the big boss character comes on first page but a soldier come in 7th page n in 2 lines n that wen he dies...
This is real history of India... The Heroes and their valour & heroics 🙏
Our history text books are toilet rolls...
Thank you Shivaroor for sharing this video.keep up the good work bro !
Very nice documentary.
thank you DK Dass ji
Extraordinarily well made
thanks for the knowledge
Jackie Shroff played his role in Border Film.
Though I feel very proud of our army, I feel bad the higher commands doesn't take the updates from Major Kuldeep seriously and brushing off the seriousness of situation....
looks like a good diary of historical events... Subtitles, pls.
You can't understand English 🎉
Battle of Longewala was a gamble of Pakistan which could not pay. Had they been successful , they could have bargained East Pakistan ( Indian army had to vacate) for the sake of Jaisalmer and even the worst Agra itself !!
The gamble did not pay because Pakistan tank division did not continue the attack or the trust in to Jaisalmer during night after they took the hit from IAF. The damage though happened ,still they had capability to thrust forward and could have taken airstrip at Jaisalmer with grave consequences for India. Now learn from the mistakes we did and the luck we had.
Increasing or renovating old airstrips all along China border is now most important for us now.Increasing the number of small aircraft like Tejas is also important.
Gopal Venuraja you havnt mentioned crucial role of Indian army at longewala who fought with pak tanks until morning so that our air force can strike them in morning
Gopal Venuraja
Whatever Pakistan tank regiment did still they were not able to capture AGRA OR JASSILMER becayse Indian army s heavy armoured regiments were waiting them to fight one to one.
Battalion posted on Longewala was also provided chance to withdraw from their & joined with heavy armoured regiment.
if they had continued and came to Jaisalmer they would have been massacred even if they had come and captured airbase they could not withdraw as their logistics could not supply and their aircrafts would have been overstretched maybe we would have prolonged that battle little longer and no one would have been left to withdraw as they could from longewala they could save whatever that was left
Superb knowledge
Excellent documentary
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing it...
I love this video
Good flying, I am glad to hear you did not have an incident of "friendly fire"
lol..what the fuck man.. u play too much counter strike :D
what is counter strike?
it's a video game
Oh, I am a father of three, twin boys. My boys would probably know exactly what you were talking about as they are gamers but I was clueless. Sorry for the ignorance and thanks for the clarification.
we all are ignorant.. i thought u would be young bcoz of the tattoo(nice one).. anyways enjoy sir
Jai hind paji. Indian army hai isliye hum hai 🙏🙏🙏🙏😞🐯🐯🐯🐯
one word that will define it
WOW
Let us upgrade our IAF.........stop spending on Ground forces...JAI HIND
oberoiji1 every force may be navy army or airforce has its own importance and limitations too....its ok to upgrade IAF but stop spending on ground forces doesnt make sense
oberoiji1
sukhdeep singh
Dont talk like a fool, its ground forces who hold the ground.
Our Indian mentality of living in denial and apathy even at the face of enemy shows clear with General Kambats attitude.
Real hero’s....... jai hind......
Salute u Sir !
you know,they are good fighters
jai hind dil hai HINDUSTANI
@KarthikSoun Its easy to understand. The Pakistanis are always over-confident that they can beat India some of them still think they won the 1971 war!
Jai jawan
Nahin reesan sade brave soldiers dian, I salute to our soldiers.
so cool
So as we understand correctly, we had just 4 planes , maybe 4 more planned from some other location to protect Jaisalmer. What kind of leadership decision does it show on behalf of Indian politicians. We're we so poor so as to have 4 to 8 planes to protect Western border? We're we so friendly with Pakistan that we never planned for defending a little better.
Great documentary. Where can I find the sound track, it’s great.
Why and who the hell deleted this video? Please upload if have it now
I'm sharing this on facebook and will be looking around for some video of India's Majestic class aircraft carrier that served then. the then Loberal government of Canada had decommissioned her sister ship HMCS Bonaventure and put is into a terribly weak situation for many years to come.
I love my india
🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍❤🇮🇳 salutes to our brave hearts and brothers in arms
IAF great job but it is also important to know we are not well prepared to handle such situations
Brave pilots of IAF ❤ jai hind ...🎉
Jai Hind
Love you Indian Army
33.10 OMG, ..........
Thank God
Jai hind, Sir
Jai hind Jai Bharat
tell about the story of the company on foot, how did they stop the tanks?
Chandpuri is looking like a tiger 🐅
When their was no PAF in the air as opponent...how come this becomes an Air Battle ? It was simply a ground support attack !
found this one part a bit funny... goes down and takes out a tank.. and than asks his number 2 to check if they are Indian tanks or Pakistani ones haha..
during war they have many important stuff to do than take videos........)
JAI HIND
👏👏👏
जय हिन्द वन्देमातरम
Indian Blitzkrieg
It was a turkey shoot at the end
yeah right. 26 years before Indo-Pak war 1971, the Americans were fighting the toughest battle of all times. The WW II. Despite those old times they had enough war footage to make tons of documentaries. How about that friend :) Jay Hind.
32.54 OMG,
This bro works for aaj tak niw
🙏
Read this article by pak cavalry officer who was in this battle. Poor planning, no air support, desert terrain, poor logistics, desertions, inter rivalry, changing orders, insubordination all led to their debacle. IAF and IA fully availed these and repulsed the attack. www.strategicfront.org/forums/threads/battle-of-longewala-dec-1971-pakistani-perspective-brigadier-za-khan-pakistan-army-then-commanding-officer-38-cavalry.2495/
Bharat Matha ki Jai
Less 2% Sir!
How do they wear turbans under flight helmets?
Merely Correct Actually Turban is their helmet.... they're Sikhs
Gagandeep Singh I understand that, just wondered how they worked the visor, headset, oxygen around it, etc.
Merely Correct Flying protocol demands that they do not wear a full turban, but Sikhs wear a Pataka while flying which is a mini turban
Merely Correct Wow! your ignorance
drifter13 Ignorance is a fundamental quality of anyone who NEEDS to ask a question. Some are mature enough to ask it, anyhow.
However i wonder why did the Pakistanis did not give any air support for their tanks!!
Pakistni pilots fled to iranian bases with their f 86s and remained hidden their till the end of the war
hi
these are not original videos's. most of them are taken from the film Border
If there is fighting between lions and pigs. Pigs considered himself a dogs but not remember one thing that lion's always lions. Now see imran kham the great pig mother she relieze that now in 2019 she produce 100 pigrees and they think they can defeat 10 modis lions with the help of bajwa special pugree breed. Can you imagine
The time has changed 47years .gone.you will taste different .bitter one next time.S Baloch.
But you will taste the same defeat don't worry .....😂😂😂
Shame on Brigade HQ
English please
it is the high command is so numb to take action and get off their butts ! drinking and playing cards may be!!
