PM commends PAF for outstanding performance
ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Sep, 2026) Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif commended all ranks of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for their outstanding performance throughout its professional history.
In a message on Pakistan Air Force Day, September 6, he stated:
"Pakistan Air Force has indeed displayed its professional capability, prowess and dominance in aerial conflicts since decades. This distinguished organization has a proud history of sacrifice, valour as well as professionalism and always responded to the nation’s call with profound courage."
He further added:
"In September 1965, the passion and resolve of PAF aviators to safeguard the aerial frontiers of Pakistan duly rendered them victorious in the vastness of skies. They laid down their precious lives for the defence of the motherland. It is certainly a national honour to pay glowing tributes to Shuhada for their supreme sacrifices."
The Prime Minister continued:
"In the same vein, last year in May 2025, when the aggressor once again challenged a peace-loving country, Pakistan Air Force, in perfect synergy with Sister Services, defeated the adversary during Marka-e-Haq on the strength of bold leadership, tactical brilliance of combat crew, excellent planning and well-orchestrated employment of Multi-Domain Warfare Capabilities acquired in recent years through a comprehensive strategy of modernization and indigenization. The nation is proud that Pakistan Air Force once again upheld the glorious legacy of fighting valiantly, which has always been its hallmark!"
Concluding his message, he said:
"On this special day, I wish continued professional success and progress to Pakistan Air Force. I am sure, as always, PAF will rise to any possible occasion to defend sovereignty and aerial frontiers of Pakistan."
