Pakistani PM Was on our Target | Fighter Pilot | Group Captain Shreepad Tokekar, Vayu Sena Medal

This episode is not about the tinsel of the uniform, cinematic dogfights, or the simplified bravado often seen on screen. It is a professional look into the cockpit of a fighter jet when the air is rarefied, the target is a tiny speck, and the margin for error is zero. In this episode of Monks & Warriors, we speak with Group Captain Shreepad Tokekar, VM, a veteran Mirage 2000 pilot who flew 24 daring missions during Operation Safed Sagar. From executing precision strikes at 30,000 feet to managing engine flameouts over enemy territory, his journey is a masterclass in professional soldiering under extreme duress. What you hear in this conversation is first-hand operational experience—the technical struggle of identifying targets in the snow, the physical toll of 35G ejection forces, and the discipline of following rules of engagement when a high-value target is in your sights. This episode explores: 🔹The Reality of High-Altitude B*mb!ng — Operating at 30,000 feet to stay above the 3km reach of shoulder-fired missiles while hunting for targets that look like "tiny specks" on a screen. 🔹The 9,000kg Muntho Dhalo Strike — A breakdown of the massive mission that dropped 36 b*mbs (250kg each) over two days to flatten an entire logistics hub. 🔹Targeting Tiger Hill — The intense pressure of dropping 1,000lb Laser Guided B*mbs (LGBs) when Indian troops were positioned only 120 meters from the impact zone. 🔹The Invisible Air War — Why Pakistani F-16s maintained a 30km distance and how Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missile technology gave the IAF a decisive edge. 🔹The Brutal Physics of Ejection — How a pilot’s spine is compressed by 25 to 35 times their body weight in the seconds it takes to clear a failing aircraft. 🔹The Nawaz Sharif Incident — The professional restraint required when spotting a white helicopter likely carrying the Pakistani PM and choosing to honor the LoC over an unauthorized kill. No dramatization. Only lived experience, explained with honesty and restraint. 🎙️ Monks & Warriors — beyond headlines, into reality. 🇮🇳 Jai Hind TimeStamps: 0:00 – Highlights 3:38 – Introduction 5:55 – Greetings & podcast begins 7:17 – The Muntho Dhalo incident: How it all began 27:05 – Searching for enemy positions to strike with a laser-guided b*mb 38:06 – Targeting pod technology today vs. what was available then 39:40 – Locking the target and awaiting clearance to strike 47:07 – Dropping 250 kg b*mbs on enemy positions in the hills 51:17 – 24 June strike on Tiger Hill during the Kargil War 55:30 – Hitting Tiger Hill with unguided b*mbs on a pinpoint target 59:41 – Advantages of the Israeli Litening targeting pod 1:02:57 – Rapid deployment to a combat mission after pod change 1:08:23 – Spotting a helicopter while flying over the Mushkoh Valley–Gultari sector 1:15:41 – Flying alongside the Air Chief Marshal during the Kargil War 1:17:29 – The real incident involving Group Captain Kambampati Nachiketa 1:36:02 – Kargil missions beyond b*mbing operations 1:41:13 – Differences between Operation Sindoor and the Kargil War 1:46:34 – Radar-guided vs. beyond-visual-range and passive missiles 1:48:19 – Joint exercises with foreign air forces 1:56:24 – How dangerous is fighter flying? 1:59:31 – Two life-saving incidents during service 2:04:00 – His wife’s journey into powerlifting 2:09:42 – Outro Our Official Youtube Channels⤵︎ 🔹 Monks and Warrior – by Kaushal & Kaushalendra 👉    / @monkswarriors   🔹 The Debrief: Mind Over Battle 👉    / @thedebriefmindoverbattle   🔹 Expeditions by Monks & Warriors 👉    / @expeditions.monks.warriors   🔹 Monks & Warriors (Clips) 👉    / @monkswarriorsclips   Our Social Media Handles⤵︎ Instagram 🔹 Col Kaushal Kashyap 👉   / kash210000   🔹 Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh 👉   / kaushalendra_sf   🔹 Monks & Warriors 👉   / monksnwarriors   Facebook 🔹 Col Kaushal Kashyap 👉   / kaushal.kashyap.39   🔹 Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh 👉   / 61572485833319   🔹 Monks & Warriors 👉   / monkswarriors   Linkedin 🔹 Col Kaushal Kashyap 👉  / kaushal-kashyap-778b98178   🔹 Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh 👉  / kaushi19raj   Spotify 🎧 Listen to us on Spotify 👉 https://open.spotify.com/show/0VAXbGv...
