Never forget

In a display of exceptional skill, precision and bravery, Pakistan Air Force pilots successfully shot down five Indian jets, including three Rafale jets, a Su-30 and a MiG-29, which are among the most advanced fighter aircraft in the Indian arsenal, within Indian territory. This event stands as a remarkable milestone in aerial combat history, showcasing not only the tactical superiority of PAF pilots but also their unwavering courage in defending Pakistan’s sovereignty. The Rafale, known for its cutting-edge technology and superior manoeuvrability, was intercepted and neutralised by the PAF in a move that stunned defence analysts across the world.

This moment sent a strong message: no matter the size of the threat or the sophistication of the technology, Pakistan’s skies are protected by fearless, highly trained warriors. Can a nation ever forget such gallantry? When the enemy had numerical superiority, it was the skill, faith and fierce patriotism of our pilots that turned the tide. It is our collective responsibility to honour their sacrifice not just on national holidays, but in textbooks, films and education.
