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.
