Message From, Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu,NI(M) Chief of The Air Staff,Pakistan Air Force on the Defence Day ok Pakistan-2022
- Defence Day is a symbol of passion, valour and sacrifice of the Armed Forces of Pakistan and our Nation at large. It provides us an opportunity to relive the memories of 6th September 1965. On this very day, Armed Forces of Pakistan, backed by the whole Nation, foiled the evil designs of aggressor and successfully defended their homeland. We pay rich tribute and acknowledge the supreme sacrifices of all the brave sons of the soil who remained resolute in defence of Pakistan.
- My Dear Countrymen! Pakistan is currently facing multiple challenges. To befittingly address them, we need same spirit of patriotism and unity, as displayed in 1965. Alhamdulillah, we, as a Nation, have a proud history to draw inspiration from in such testing times.
Let me assure you that Pakistan Air Force is ever-ready to rise to every occasion as per its glorious legacy. I am glad that PAF over years
has developed into a modern hi-tech Air Force equipped with niche technologies. It is heartening that PAF has also been meaningfully contributing to nation-building efforts, particularly in fields of Aerospace, IT, Health, Education and Sports etc. More so, PAF always provides full support to fellow countrymen during natural calamities such
as pandemics, floods and earthquakes. On this day of national pride,
let us renew our pledge to redouble our efforts for defence, progress and prosperity of Pakistan. - On this occasion, we show solidarity with our Kashmiri brothers,
who have been suffering and rendering supreme sacrifices for over seven decades. We stand by them in their indigenous and just struggle for
self-determination. - May Allah Almighty guide our endeavours and give us strength to come up to the nation’s expectations as always. Aameen!
Pakistan Air Force Zindabad! Pakistan Paindabad!
