Overview
- Discovery announced the two-part documentary on Friday, July 31, and the film will air exclusively on Discovery and discovery+ on August 15, 2026, with part one at 9 p.m. and part two at 10 p.m.
- The series reconstructs the 88-hour Operation Sindoor, tracing events from strategic deliberations after the April Pahalgam terror attack to the May 7 launch of strikes described by makers as targeting terrorist infrastructure.
- Producers say the film includes first-hand accounts from representatives across India’s armed forces, defence experts and ground operatives and names senior figures who appear in the series.
- Some operational details presented in the film—including reported strikes on nine terror sites and the use of surface-to-surface missiles—are drawn from official or secondary sources and are not independently verified in the announcement materials.
- Warner Bros. Discovery markets the film as the launch of a new Declassified franchise and its scheduled India Independence Day premiere will widen public exposure to the military’s account while prompting scrutiny of contested claims and verification.
