Today, as we mark Air Force Day, my heart goes out in deep respect to our martyrs and ghazis whose courage and sacrifices continue to inspire the nation. This day is not only about remembering the victories of the past but also about honouring the living spirit of service and devotion that defines the Pakistan Air Force.
In 1965, our air warriors, against overwhelming odds, wrote a story of extraordinary bravery and determination. Their daring actions not only defended our skies but also lifted the morale of an entire nation. That spirit of sacrifice and excellence remains alive in every generation of the PAF.
I take immense pride in how the Air Force has evolved into a modern, capable, and highly professional institution. Whether it was the 1965 war or the more recent Marka-e-Haq Bunyanum-Marsus, our air warriors have always risen to the challenge, giving the enemy a decisive response and filling the nation with pride.
The world has witnessed the remarkable skill and professionalism of PAF, and I firmly believe its modern capabilities are one of the strongest guarantees of Pakistan’s security.
On this occasion, I salute the families of our martyrs, who bear the greatest sacrifice of all. Their loved ones live on as eternal heroes in the nation’s heart. I also salute the ghazis whose resilience and dedication remain a living example of courage.
I am confident that the Pakistan Air Force will continue to protect our skies and sovereignty with the same resolve and passion that has always defined it.
Pakistan Air Force Zindabad!
Pakistan Paindabad!
