From the steel confines of battle tanks to unforgiving counter-insurgency terrain in the North-East, this episode brings you a rare first-hand account from Lt Col Prashant Jasrotia (Retd.), an officer of the Indian Army whose career spans Armoured Corps warfare, historic tank battles, and operational tenures with Assam Rifles.
This is not theory.
This is experience earned under pressure.
In this wide-ranging and deeply insightful conversation, Lt Col Prashant Jasrotia explains what it truly means to fight, live, and survive inside a tank, why tank crews say “the tank is our home”, and how armoured warfare has evolved from World War–era battles to the drone-dominated conflicts of today.
He breaks down tanks not as machines, but as combat systems, where crew integration, training, and split-second decisions decide survival.
The conversation then moves beyond armour — into Assam Rifles operations in the North-East, where terrain, insurgency, intelligence, and leadership test an officer in entirely different ways.

This episode goes far beyond equipment and battles.

This is not just a story of tanks or operations.
It is the story of service, survival, and leadership under pressure.
