From 1965 to Today
The PAF’s legendary status was forged in the fires of war, with heroes like MM Alam etching their names in history. But the Air Force hasn’t rested on its laurels. Instead, it’s carried that legacy forward, modernizing its fleet, training, and doctrines to tackle new challenges head-on.
Operation Banyan al-Marsoos 2025
This year, Air Force Day takes on added significance as we recognize the PAF’s role in Operation Banyan al-Marsoos 2025. This campaign showcased the Air Force’s precision and prowess, securing Pakistan’s sovereignty in the skies just as it did in 1965.
Guardians in War and Peace
The Air Force is more than just a fighting force. Its contributions during natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and national emergencies remind us that it’s a shield in wartime and a source of support in times of need. From relief drops during floods to medical evacuations, the PAF is always there when Pakistan needs it most.
A National Legacy
Air Force Day is about more than just fighter jets and aerial battles. It’s about the values of discipline, professionalism, and sacrifice that the PAF embodies. As Pakistan faces hybrid threats, from drones and cyber warfare to disinformation, the Air Force remains the nation’s first line of defense in the skies and its last line of defense on the ground.
On this Air Force Day, Pakistan pays tribute to the men and women who keep the nation safe. The roar of their jets is a reminder that while they stand watch, the nation sleeps peacefully.
