IAF's lightweight Gnats took on PAF's sleek Sabres & busted myth that they were invincible. The mettle of the 'Sabre Slayers' remains a legend to this day.
When lynching, hate speech and bulldozer politics do not speedily invite the wrath of courts, then something is wrong with the third pillar of governance.
While releasing 'India Employment Report 2024', V Anantha Nageswaran said govt can't solve 'all social, economic challenges'. Congress leader Kharge says CEA protecting 'dear leader'.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
There is no guncamera footag or physical evidence of any kind that any of the PAF” Sabrejet being shot down in the aircombat by the IAF jets EXCEPT for may be one. And IAF states that their fighters weren’t equipped with guncamera when most of IAF jets were new and much modern faster than the old Korean war F-86 Sabrejets. I’m sorry but showing what happened for real is not enough by drawing paintings , anyone can do that. To claim your victory you need a proof something to go by. Lies don’t change the history. Pakistan won 1965 war in the air , grond and the sea.
Your narrative only happens in PAK school books and false propaganda right??
The article completely missed the score of Fl. Lt. Yunous Hassan and Fl. Lt. Cecil Chuaudry during Halwara Raid. Both scored each Gnat.
PAF is much more modernaized then it was before. Just see how PAF killed a Mig-21 and one SU-30. And in return, INDIA killed its own helicopter. Shame on IAF for having such a big budget but still a below-par force.
Shame Indians for killing innocents in Kashmir. Pakistan will take revenge just like 27th Feb. Just wait a bit more and take off your curfew and then see what happens
Stop being a crybaby don’t forget Bangladesh exists till date your coward officers refused to accept their dead ones don’t worry Balochistan will be liberated soon
Oh miss, that mig 21 shot down a modern F-16, no Su-30 was shot down. The helicopter was a miss fire. I know it’s too hard to swallow, but you guys lose everytime. Better fight for a democratic government and replace the army making the government a puppet. Then there will be peace for all of us
What a beautiful narrative, my hair was standing on end reading through this.
Congratulations Print for publishing this excellent chronology.
True story……….Rafiqui Sabre guns had jammed but rather than returning back he gave cover to his other two colleagues in the epic air battle …Sarfraz Rafiqui was given Hilal i Jurat for showing this uncommon valor !!!
The nation which has history of being ruled by dictators and fanatics calling the duely elected government as Hitler & Nazi…
Surgical strikes… 0 bodies found.. By the way it was in Kashmir on IOK… . 26th feb 350 JM terrorists killed… 0 bodies found… Pakistan shot down 2 planes showed you a captured pilot. Everone should talk about facts. Confused government of yours still planning how to show their military is good.
I agree the indian military has more fire power but trust me Pakistan is not a country to mess with. The whole country’s population is military. India can never take over. Happy Defense to you all. Long live Pakistan
Rana is innocent..its not his fault. Pakistan narratives and teaching, all includes telling that always pakistan was attacked by India and india lost all the wars. No problem my freind, if u want to leave in ur own, self- created illusions..better u be there. Actual facts and wisdom may harm ur emotional feelings that u mayn’t be able to digest and ur health can be harmed. I wish a gud health and well being of urs.
Dear Rana, I have read all about the story of MM Alam shooting down five howler hunters in less than one minute. It looks as if Indian fighters were not flying, rather they were arranged in a neat row on table before the super ma’am Alam to just bump off…
Get a life man…
Very well written article supported by facts.
I wish to read more articles sir like this highlighting the sacrifice of our national heros ……May their soul rest in peace
Here we can see Indian fools telling abhinandan shot down PAF F16 but Washington defense team counted all our jets found nothing missing. Hats off for Vir Chakra to abhinandan who received after having fantastic tea 🍵. If you just Google don’t run for Indian biased media there search world’s record to shot down fighter jets in war there you will find MM Alam who shot down 6 IAF jets within minutes. #HitlerModi and his RSS Nazi party want Hindustan for Hindus only and rest in peace democracy 😭 😭
This time it will be Doodhpathi as an award for shooting down Pakistani F-16 & loosing another Bison.
Deja Vu!
Absolutely hair raising thrilling account of the events that unfolded in September 1965!
I was a 6 year old lad whose father was posted at AF STN HALWARA & was witness to the bombardment and that memory is still very fresh as is the December 1971 stay at AF STN JAMNAGAR where again I had a opportunity to see a couple of Dog fights!
IAF came out TOPS in both the battle fields and richly deserve all the accolades.
You Pakis live in a very delusional world. You are a failed state and a beggar. The whole knows you for only one reason: Terrorism. Maybe also for begging😀.
No one can lie more than the Endians.
You guys have really got a brain in your head or its all dung?
PAF’s strike was deep and a complete success and as a resultant, you shot down your own heli. Come on and wake up. Come out of the lies of Modi Nazi.
You can’t even dare to face JF-17 let alone F-16.
Poor Abhinandan was sent to receive a whooping SD-10 on his back.
Ask your IAF that where were your SU-30s on that day and why did they send a mig -21 to receive the wreath of PAF.
why your HITTLER MODI had to say that Rafale would have been able to save the IAF on 27th Feb.
Believe me, if SU-30s or other sophisticated state of the art systems couldn’t save you on that, Rafales will neither. It’s all about courage which Endians don’t have.
There was no shooting down of Su 30. Whereas the Abhi had shot your F16. How much your country will lie.
It’s always a surprise to see .when aPaki says that they have hit a Su30……for truth sakes plz check Su 30 performance in red flag exercise…..u will realise. Wat Su 30 is…..its Nick named as thrust vectoring beast….for a reason……
Bali, why you guys keep referring to an old exercise again and again. Technology has taken manifolds since then.
Where the hell your freaking Tejas were. Pakistan used its JF-17 as a frontline fighter and used to kill a mig-21 as well.
You guys are keep on buying one after another weapon system but how did you buy courage? Pakistan still maintains first shooting capabilities. Come out of F-16 dream. Whole world is laughting on you.
And please, stop killing innocents in Kashmir. Withdarw your 900k troops from there and use them to build toiltets for intidan public.
‘Superior’ sabers ? Are you a joke ? IAF had hunters, gnats and mig 21s.. you must be a moron to call sabers superior

Great read! Detailed like a movie.
Very interesting to note the comments of pakis … but what more can be expected of the citizens of a country that exports DONKEYS to earn FOREX.

This could make a great movie.Wonder why nobody took this up.
Sameer Joshi thank you so much for those sepia tinted memories!
One of the best account of a battle I ever read!
Relived the moments.
This time it will be Doodhpathi as an award for shooting down Pakistani F-16 & loosing another Bison.

Nice read about Halwara strike.
Sarfraz’s guns got jammed as his Saber underwent maintenance just before this attack
But still its a good read and very close to the actual events.
I wish IAF release the details of actual events of 27th feb as well i.e the amount of panic which was created by PAF and shooting down of SU-30.
You Pakis live in a very delusional world. You are a failed state and a beggar. The whole knows you for only one reason: Terrorism. Maybe also for begging😀.
