DocuBay to premiere ‘Kargil 1999: The Untold Story of the Indian Air Force’ on I-Day
IAF Officials tell their untold and heroic “Operation Safed Sagar” in the film
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Kargil War, IN10 Media Network’s premium global streaming platform, DocuBay, unveils an exclusive documentary, Kargil 1999: The Untold Story of the Indian Air Force. The film that brings forth the critical role of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in the Kargil War was screened in Delhi on the 9th of August in the presence of Senior Air Force officials and veterans who had played a significant role in this operation.
The film significantly enhances DocuBay’s robust content slate of originals that showcase real stories covering topics like technology, culture, society, crime, relationships and more. It documents the IAF’s strategic and tactical prowess during Operation Safed Sagar, launched in May 1999 to support the Indian Army’s efforts to eliminate Pakistani encroachments in Kargil. The operation saw the Air Force deploy its best men and machines to support the military endeavour. The film offers edge-of-the-seat storytelling as this was the first time combat air power was used in the mountain ranges above 15,000 feet altitude and how laser-guided bombs were created and operated by the Indian Air Force during the war, appealing to a vast global audience.
