“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
On Pakistan Air Force Day, I salute the courage, professionalism and indomitable spirit of our valiant air warriors.
From the heroic defence of our skies in September 1965 to the decisive response during Marka-e-Haq in May 2025, the Pakistan Air Force has upheld its proud legacy of valour, precision and sacrifice. Through exceptional preparedness, technological excellence and seamless coordination with the sister services, it has repeatedly proved its ability to defend Pakistan’s sovereignty against every challenge.
We pay solemn tribute to our Shuhada, whose supreme sacrifices will forever remain etched in the nation’s memory.
The entire nation is proud of the Pakistan Air Force and stands firmly behind our sons and daughters in uniform.
