Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu has said that the world was “amazed” to witness an excellent execution of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) operation against India in May this year.
During a closing ceremony at the PAF Academy in Risalpur on Tuesday, the air chief said for the first time in history, the Pakistan Air Force conducted full spectrum, multi-domain operation using space elements, electronic warfare along with long-range vectors, unmanned air system, killer drones and loitering munitions.
“…the world was amazed to witness the superb execution of the Pakistan Air Force operation that was superbly choreographed and flawlessly executed,” he added.
Air Chief Sidhu said, “We are living in challenging times in the wake of a complex global and regional environment. Our adversaries have always undermined the sovereignty of our beloved country. The latest conflict in May this year is also a manifestation of the same.
Alhamdulillah, in a remarkable show of unity, the people of Pakistan and its forces defeated the enemy with far greater numerical strength.”
He said that the success of Marka-e-Haq and Bunyan-um-Marsoos was the result of a united national approach and special blessings of Allah.
“On the fateful night of May 6-7, when Pakistan’s sovereignty was challenged by the aggressor, the PAF maintained its legacy of outnumbered combat and shot down the enemy’s most modern and capable aircraft – including several Rafales, Su-30MKIs, Mirage 2000s, MiG-29s and unmanned evidence and electronic systems.”
