🇮🇳⚡️🇵🇰 Today is April 10th 2025. 66 years since the first aerial kill of the PAF.
On Eid al-Fitr, with a skeleton crew on duty, a radar station detected an Indian Canberra on a reconnaissance mission entering Pakistani airspace. Two F-86F Sabres, piloted by Flt. Lt. M. N. Butt and Flt. Lt. M. Yunis were scrambled to intercept.
The Canberra, flying above 50,000 feet, was out of range for Butt's attack. When the aircraft lost altitude, Yunis fired, hitting it at 47,500 feet and bringing it down over Rawat. Both Indian pilots ejected, were captured, and repatriated the next day.

Shenyang F-6 of Pakistan Air Force
The Shenyang J-6 (designated F-6 for export versions) was the Chinese built version of the Soviet MiG-19 "Farmer" fighter aircraft.
Although the MiG-19 had a comparatively short life in Soviet service, the Chinese came to value its agility, turning performance, and powerful cannon armament, and produced it for their own use between 1958 and 1981.
The F-6 was flown by the Pakistan Air Force from 1965 to 2002, and around 140 modifications were made to increase effectiveness in interception and close air support roles. F-6s were also modified for carriage of AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles
Pakistan Air Force F-6 fighters participated in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan, scoring approximately 6 confirmed aerial victories. These included one Indian MiG-21, which was believed by many to be a superior aircraft to the F-6 at the time.

⚡️🇨🇳 Check out this detailed close-up of China's WS-10 engine nozzle feathers on a J-16 jet!
The WS-10 is a high-thrust turbofan engine developed for advanced Chinese fighter jets like the J-10C, J-11B, J-15, J-16, and J-20.
Thrust: 120–140 kN
