Defence Day of Pakistan holds a special significance in our history. It symbolizes the remarkable show of unity by the Nation and is also a lasting reminder of professionalism, valour and sacrifice displayed by the Armed Forces of Pakistan.
Certainly, the aggressor challenged the very existence of a peaceful but resolute state.
Undoubtedly, Pakistan Air Force, in unison with sister services, delivered a knock-out punch to the enemy and set a legacy of fighting outnumbered.
While celebrating the occasion, we pay homage to our Shuhada and Ghazis for their epic deeds of heroism and owe them an eternal debt of gratitude.
On this day of national pride, I assure the nation that Pakistan Air Force is alive to the evolving situation in the region and remains fully prepared to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan.
Upholding Quaid’s vision of being “Second to None”, PAF relentlessly pursues excellence in all domains.
On this special day, we also salute the generations of Kashmiris who have laid down their lives fighting for freedom.
I assure our Kashmir! brothers and sisters of our resolute commitment and steadfast moral, political and diplomatic support.
May Allah Almighty guide our efforts and give us strength to safeguard the aerial frontiers of Pakistan; a commitment to which PAF has always measured up and will continue to do so in the times ahead lnsha-Allah!
Pakistan Air Force Zindabad!
Pakistan Paindabad !
