History TV18 recently aired an original series, ‘Firepower: Defending India’ which basically put spotlight on the Indian Army's weaponry, logistics, technology, training and tactics. Shot beautifully the show was aired on television and is also on YouTube. It's a tribute to those who defend India and is part of History TV18’s military sub-genre.
It's a 6 part series with about half-hour episodes each and features spectacular battlefield recreations.
If you enjoy reading and watching videos about the Indian Army then you'd be happy to know that they feature some remote outposts and the frontline with artillery batteries; inside Special Forces missions and recon ops; inside battle tanks, helicopter drop zones and into the heat of heart-stopping infantry charges in the series.
There are some incredible details about the Indian Army’s challenges and capabilities in this show and it's worth a watch for anyone who is a fan of the armed forces.
The series was shot in diverse locations – from the burning Thar Desert to icy Siachen, the world’s highest battlefield. Filmed in 4K and High Definition, intense war-zone scenes have been recreated in rich detail. On-ground, helicopter-mounted and helmet-cam images will transport the viewer deep into the thick of the action. Live ammunition fire, TNT explosions, and CGI enhanced sequences to ensure a gritty, heart-pounding viewing experience.
With access to weapon systems and military personnel, the series is being positioned as being a first-of-its-kind ringside view of one of the world’s largest armies. The brand-defining original production also provides unique insights into the challenges of defending India – a vast country with incredibly varied terrain and conditions. The series showcases the Indian Army’s strength, battle readiness, and technological ingenuity-History TV18
Another interesting fact about this show is that it was made by a friend for the network.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Robin on a few occasions in New Delhi when I lived there. He's an award winning documentary film maker and has done a fantastic work producing this show for History TV18. I've enjoyed hanging out with him in the past and share travel stories with him as he's extremely well travelled himself.
Here's a pic of us when we were in Goa to celebrate a close friend's 50th birthday celebrations. What can I say, some of my friends are clearly older, wiser and cooler than me!
I felt it would be great to share this with everyone here and showcase his work. I wanted to share this sooner but now that the show is done airing on the television and all 6 episodes are online you can binge watch it at one shot.
Did I mention that I love the name of the show? If you were wondering how I decided on my username "Firepower" you can read all about it here.
