00:00Today is an important day because today is the day of Fazaia.
00:04In the 1965 war, Pakistan's Fazaia played a key role in the defence of Pakistan.
00:09And from then onwards, in fact from 1947 onwards, as Fazaia progressed, she played an important role.
00:17And no one can forget the incident of Abhinandan.
00:20In the war of 1965, in memory of the Fazaia who fought on 7th September,
00:24the day of Fazaia is being celebrated today.
00:27In the war of 1965, Pakistan's Fazaia shot down 104 Indian planes.
00:32In the first two days, Pakistan's Fazaia destroyed 53 Indian planes.
00:39On the morning of 6th September, when India suddenly attacked Pakistan,
00:43at that time, the Indian Air Force's planes reached the Pakistani borders.
00:47Pakistan's Fazaia's planes standing on the PAF base Sargodha,
00:51forced the enemy's planes to retreat.
00:56Pakistan's Fazaia attacked the enemy's air bases in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Bombay and Calcutta
01:03and destroyed many of the enemy's planes.
01:06And caused a great loss.
01:08Pakistan's Fazaia destroyed the Indian fighter jets on the air base of Pathankot
01:12before they could take off.
01:15The situation was such that without any effort,
01:18Pakistan's Fazaia destroyed the air base of Srinagar and made it unusable.
01:24Along with this, on 7th September, Pakistan's Fazaia's squadron leader,
01:28M.M. Alam, the well-known M.M. Alam,
01:31shot down 5 Indian fighter jets in less than a minute
01:36and set a record.
01:38This record of M.M. Alam is still remembered today
01:42and is a golden chapter in the history of Pakistan's Air Force.
01:46On this unparalleled bravery, he was again rewarded with the star of courage by the government.
01:53He was also given the star of distinction.
01:55In Pakistan's Fazaia, he was given the name of Little Dragon.
01:59He is still known in the same way.
02:02Squadron leader, C.C. Chaudhary,
02:05shot down many Indian fighter jets
02:08and destroyed three Indian fighter jets.
02:12C.C. Chaudhary was also one of those people who are still remembered.
02:17Squadron leader, Sarfaraz Rafiqi,
02:20shot down 4 Indian fighter jets with his F-86 with Flight Lieutenant Imtiaz Ahmed Bhatti.
02:30Not just that,
02:31Sarfaraz Rafiqi was rewarded with the star of courage and distinction by the government of Pakistan.
02:36These marks of Pakistan Air Force are not ending.
02:40These marks of Pakistan Air Force are not ending.
02:43They are continuing.
02:44Our Pakistan Fazaia is still defending the Air Boundaries of Pakistan.
02:53We got the living proof of this on the day when India intruded into our Air Boundaries
03:01and paid the bill of one cup of tea with its own jets.
03:08In the same way, Pakistan Fazaia will continue to defend the Air Boundaries of Pakistan.
