The Real-Life Mission

The first teaser for the upcoming series was unveiled earlier this year as part of Netflix's "Next on Netflix" lineup. The show focuses on the IAF mission known as "Operation Safed Sagar," which took place in 1999. It was the world's highest air operation and played a major role in India's response during the Kargil conflict. The one-minute, 30-second teaser showed how decisions were made, how pilots trained and adapted, and what they went through during the war. It also gave viewers a glimpse into the personal side of the officers and the cost of serving in such risky situations.

Produced by Matchbox Shots and Feel Good Films, 'Operation Safed Sagar' will stream on Netflix from August 7. (ANI)
