On the historic occasion of Pakistan Air Force Day, I commend all ranks of Pakistan Air Force for their outstanding performance throughout its professional history.
Pakistan Air Force has indeed displayed its professional capability, prowess and dominance in Aerial Conflicts since decades. This distinguished organization has a proud history of sacrifice, velour as well as professionalism and always responded to the nation’s call with profound courage.
In September 1965, the passion and resolve of Pakistan Air Force aviators to safeguard the aerial frontiers of Pakistan duly rendered them victorious in the vastness of skies. They laid down their precious lives for the defence of the motherland. It is certainly a national honour to pay glowing tributes to Shuhada for their supreme sacrifices.
In the same vein, last year in May 2025, when the aggressor once again challenged a peace-loving country, Pakistan Air Force, in perfect synergy with Sister Services, defeated the adversary during Marka-e-Haq on the strength of bold leadership, tactical brilliance of combat crew, excellent planning and well-orchestrated employment of Multi-Domain Warfare Capabilities acquired in recent years through a comprehensive strategy of modernization and indigenization. The nation is proud that Pakistan Air Force once again upheld the glorious legacy of fighting the outnumbered, which has always been its hallmark!
On this special day, I wish continued professional success and progress to Pakistan Air Force. I am sure, as always, Pakistan Air Force will rise to any possible occasion to defend sovereignty and aerial frontiers of Pakistan.
Pakistan Air Force Zindabad!
Pakistan Paindabad!
