Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has released an anthem to celebrate 27th February, which marks the first anniversary when PAF defended the country and took down two Indian fighter jets in a rare airborne dogfight. It was a response to India’s claims of Balakot strikes in the aftermath of the Pulwama incident.

Two PAF pilots, Wing Commander Muhammad Nouman Ali, and Squadron Leader Hassan Mahmood Siddiqui received Sitara-e-Jurat from President of Pakistan last year after they shot down two Indian jets during ‘Operation Swift Retort’.

One of the Indian Mig 21 jets crashed inside the Pakistani border, and the pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, was apprehended by the Pakistan Army. The Indian pilot was later handed over to the Indian authorities as a gesture of peace by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Attributing the achievement as a bright chapter in its history, PAF has released a song titled ‘Allah-o-Akbar.’
