IAF GARUD Commando Reveals Kashmir's Untold Truth | First-Ever GARUD SF Podcast :JWO Sandeep Kumawat

For the first time on the internet, an elite IAF GARUD Special Forces operative breaks his silence. In this explosive episode , Junior Warrant Officer (JWO) Sandeep Kumawat, a seasoned veteran of the Indian Air Force's elite GARUD Special Forces, reveals the raw, unvarnished truth of counter-terrorism operations, the reality of close-quarter combat in Jammu & Kashmir, and the heavy psychological price of survival. From executing high-stakes MiG-21 pilot rescue missions with inadequate initial training at just 21 years old, to facing brutal stone-pelting mobs post-Burhan Wani, JWO Sandeep gives us an insider look at how the Garud Commandos changed tactics to dominate the battlefield in Rakh Hajin. He shares the harrowing details behind the dynamic battlefield decisions ("Mera banda hai ya militant?"), the shocking operational reasons behind collecting empty bullet cartridge cases , the agonizing pain of losing a brother-in-arms (saathi ko khone ka dard), and the ultimate story of blood revenge (badla) during Operation Chandergeer. We also dive deep into the legendary brotherhood of the elite unit, detailing the heartwarming and emotional efforts to care for the family of Ashok Chakra recipient Corporal Jyoti Prakash Nirala, including taking responsibility of his sister's marriage. This is not just a war story; it is a masterclass in leadership, patriotism, special forces training, and survival under extreme pressure.
