On this special report, host Gaurav Sawant examines the Indian Air Force's release of a new video documenting the success of Operation Sindoor. Gaurav Sawant notes that the footage 'shows you how terror bases were dismantled in Pakistan' and how BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles demolished enemy radar stations and air defences. The programme features insights from Air Marshal Vinod Bhatia and Major General Sanjay Meston, who discuss the strategic significance of hitting key Pakistani bases like Noor Khan and Sargodha from standoff ranges. The report highlights a Swiss military think tank's analysis confirming India's total air dominance during the 88-hour conflict in May 2025. The discussion also covers the tri-services tableau at the 77th Republic Day parade, which celebrated India's self-reliance in defence and its zero-tolerance policy towards state-sponsored terrorism. The experts conclude that Operation Sindoor successfully called out Pakistan's nuclear bluff while establishing a new normal for punitive responses to cross-border terror.

Gaurav Sawant Reports: Top Chinese General Zhang Accused Of Leaking Nuclear Secrets To CIA
On this Five Live special report, Gaurav Sawant examines the massive purge within the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). Reports indicate that General Zhang, a top member of the Central Military Commission and once a close ally of President Xi Jinping, is under investigation for allegedly leaking highly sensitive nuclear secrets to the CIA. Gaurav Sawant notes, 'General Zhang is second only to Chinese President Xi Jinping, one of the top generals in China, and he was at one point of time described as one of the most trusted allies of Xi Jinping.' The discussion with Pranay Upadhyay highlights a potential power struggle and friction within the Communist Party, suggesting that over-centralization of power has led to internal camps. The investigation also involves Liu Zhenli, Chief of Staff of the CMC’s Joint Staff Department. This crackdown follows a reported purge of 100 generals as Xi Jinping consolidates control, raising questions about China's military readiness and command integrity.
