đŽđłâĄď¸đľđ° 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.
