The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Tuesday released a fierce new video showcasing its combat readiness and precision strike power.
This comes days after India’s powerful cross-border response under Operation Sindoor, following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
The video, titled “Indian Air Force – Responds with resolve, always…”, opens with roaring visuals of fighter jets slicing through high altitudes. Backed by Piyush Mishra’s iconic anthem “Aarambh Hai Prachand” from Gulaal, the one-minute clip is as poetic as it is intimidating. A well-timed release, it echoes India’s sharpened stance on counterterrorism.
Swift. Lethal. Agile.
Those three words frame the core of the IAF’s message. Visuals show stealth aircraft, mid-air refuels, and pinpoint strikes, asserting dominance across enemy lines. The message? We are ready. Always.
And this isn’t just military theatre. On May 7, Indian forces launched precision strikes on terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). It was the most intense flare-up between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in years. The timing of this video is deliberate—meant to cap that message with visual authority.
“Unseen. Unstoppable. Unmatched.”
The IAF isn’t mincing words. And neither is India.

A Battle Cry in Verse
This isn’t the first time the military has leaned on culture to communicate power. The Indian Navy recently dropped its own video, laced with the poetry of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, a nod to ancient wars and epic justice.
And during the May 11 tri-services press conference, journalists were greeted not with stats, but Sanskrit. The Shiv Tandav Stotram blared before the briefing—an audio signal that diplomacy was over. Even Air Marshal AK Bharti brought out the Ramayana, quoting Lord Ram: “Bhay binu hoy na preeti” — without fear, there is no peace.
It’s not just war. It’s war with rhythm.
From Mumbai to Pahalgam—A Pattern and a Promise
India’s military video also includes throwbacks—from the 2008 Mumbai attacks to the recent Pahalgam massacre. These clips connect the dots. The story is clear: attacks happen, and India hits back harder.
The recent Pahalgam terror attack that killed civilians wasn’t an isolated incident. It’s part of a long pattern—and this time, India’s response was immediate. The ceasefire on May 10 came after nearly 100 hours of escalated strikes and warnings. The IAF’s video seals that chapter—with pride, not apology.
A Nation With No Room for Doubt
Let’s face it. In a time of social media wars and fake ceasefires, this is storytelling that punches through. The IAF isn’t just flying missions—it’s shaping perception. And it’s doing it loud.
So, when you see those jets roar through the Himalayas to Mishra’s fierce lyrics, don’t just hear a soundtrack. Hear a vow.
We’ve stopped asking.
Now, we strike.
