Bollywood War film based on the Indo-Pakistani War of December 1971, especially the battle of Longewala.


Hindustan Aeronautics HF-24 Marut

A desk model with a HAL HF-24 Marut diving on a main battle tank. Looks like a memory trophy to celebrate the battle of the 5th December 1971 ... as the Squadron leader is just receiving its orders from the Wing Commander some days before the battle !

The desk model in front of the left window is probably a B-24 (twin tail, probably four engine aircraft).

Hawker Siddeley HS.748

Antonov An-32

A chronogical error : the first flight of the An-32 dated back to 1976.

Antonov An-32 of Indian Air Force, coded 2686.

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 UM 'Fishbed'

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Bis 'Fishbed'

Acting the actual Mig-21 ML.

Paskitani aircrafts are just shown by night.
Probably a Mig-21.

Really Mig-21s.

Hawker Hunter FGA.56

The type was decommissioned the year the movie was shot. Hunters of No.20 Squadron Lightnings.
Several serials seen like A476 :

The next one is A484.

Last but not least, a CGI shot which ends the battle.
