During the Kargil War in 1999, K Nachiketa was a 26-year-old fighter pilot assigned the task of hitting Pakistani posts in Kargil at altitudes in excess of 17,000 feet. He had locked on to a target and fired the powerful cannon of his MiG 27 fighter bomber when he experienced a nightmare for a pilot anywhere. His engine “flamed out” – it went dead, mid-air. Training took over and to get the engine restarted was his only goal.

He had a technical problem with the engine; his engine shut and he had to re-ignite. But you have to be flying at a certain height before you can do so. In his case, since he was flying over a terrain of five plus km, he did not have the adequate height. As a result, he had to eject.

The last words that his colleagues heard before he faded out were: ” Nachi – engine flame-out, relighting…. Nachi ejecting now.” and then an ominous silence. As Nachiketa parachuted down the dark ragged edges of the snow-clad mountains, the sky was lit a brilliant red by the giant explosion of his hapless aircraft. And then suddenly as he landed on the rocky surface, Nachiketa observed a speck in the sky. It was his fellow pilot, a daredevil squadron leader by the name of Ajay Ahuja, hovering over in his MiG-21 straining his eyes to catch sight of the landing area of his colleague.

Suddenly an explosion reverberated across the horizon, as Nachiketa recoiled in horror. A missile from the Afghani Mujahideen stockpile found its mark and hit Ahuja’s plane. 

WE NEVER FORGET THOSE BRAVE WARRIORS.
