Pakistan Air Force Day was observed across the country with national zeal to pay homage to the martyrs of PAF who rendered the ultimate sacrifice for defence of the country during the Pakistan-India war in 1965. A notable event of the 1965 war was that Pakistan Air Force flying ace Muhammad Mahmood Alam shot down five planes of India in less than a minute.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is the aerial warfare branch of the Pakistan Armed Forces, tasked primarily with the aerial defence of Pakistan, with a secondary role of providing air support to the Pakistan Army and Navy when required, and a tertiary role of providing strategic airlift capability to Pakistan.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is considered to be one of the strongest aviation forces in the world. It comprises more than 70,000 highly skilled active-duty professionals, according to the 2021 assessment published by the International Institute of Strategic Institute (IISS).
