How INS Khukri Sank in 18 Minutes | India’s Only Naval Loss (1971 War Story)

Описание: The story of INS Khukri is not just a chapter from the 1971 war… it is the story of the Indian Navy’s only warship ever lost since independence.
On the night of 8 December 1971, in the dark waters of the Arabian Sea, 176 sailors and their captain faced something no Indian crew had ever faced before.

This documentary recreates, step by step, what happened in those crucial 18 minutes when INS Khukri was hit by a torpedo fired from Pakistan’s submarine PNS Hangor.
Why did the ship sink so fast?
How did the crew react?
What decisions were made on the bridge in the final moments?
And most importantly… why did Captain Mahendra Nath Mulla choose sacrifice over survival?

Through maps, recreated visuals, original research, and a deeply emotional narration, this film tells the complete story of Khukri’s final patrol — from the first intelligence report, to the silent chase beneath the waves, to the torpedo impact that changed Indian naval history forever.

More than five decades later, Khukri still rests somewhere in the depths near Diu… but the courage of her crew continues to inspire generations of Indians.

If you are watching this on 8 December, today marks the anniversary of the night INS Khukri went down with her flag flying.
