In Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, a group of terrorists led by Azhar Akhtar plans to attack the Srinagar Air Force Station. Captain Rakesh Jai Singh formed a team called the Air Dragons with skilled fighter pilots like Minal Rathore, Shamsher Pathania, Basheer Khan, Sukhdeep Singh, and Sartaj Gill.
During training, Minni develops feelings for Patty, who is troubled by losing his fiancee in a previous mission. When Akhtar’s group attacks CRPF soldiers in Pulwama, tensions rise. The Indian Air Force, with help from RAW agent Zarina Begum, plans to strike Akhtar’s base in Balakot. They succeed, but it leads to conflict with Pakistan.
After Pakistani forces retaliate, Bash, Patty, and Taj disobey orders and enter Pakistan. Bash and Taj get captured, while Rocky removes Patty from the Air Dragons because of his disobedience and personal issues. When Pakistan promises to return Taj safely, they find Bash dead, murdered by Akhtar.
