A ceremony was held at Air Headquarters Islamabad to mark the completion of one year of Marka-e-Haq. The Pakistan Air Force was praised for what officials described as its brilliant success, decisive response and historic role in defending the country’s air borders.
Pakistan Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Babar Sidhu addressed the gathering and congratulated PAF personnel, especially the youth of the force, on their success in Marka-e-Haq.
In his address, Air Chief Marshal Sidhu said India made baseless allegations against Pakistan after the Pahalgam false flag, adding that Pakistan had offered India an impartial investigation into the incident.
Despite Pakistan’s offer, he said, India resorted to aggression, which was met with a full and decisive response by the Pakistan Air Force. He said the PAF played an important role in defeating the enemy and protecting Pakistan’s sovereignty.
The air chief said the performance of the Pakistan Air Force in national defence was historic. The air force caused severe damage to India’s air defence system. He said all enemy installations were targeted by the PAF.
According to him, the PAF destroyed enemy installations in record time.
From Srinagar to Bathinda, PAF taught enemy a lesson
The air chief said the Pakistan Air Force taught the enemy a lesson from Srinagar to Bathinda, and the Indian Air Force faced humiliation during the operation.
He also claimed that the Pakistan Air Force destroyed some of the world’s top fighter jets as well as the S-400 air defence system “in a matter of moments.”
He said the PAF’s successful actions demonstrated its operational readiness and combat capability. According to him, the force showed its ability to strike key targets with speed and precision.
Air Chief Marshal Sidhu said Pakistan’s “cyber-kings” destroyed the enemy’s cyber security and defeated it in aerial, electronic and cyber warfare. He said Marka-e-Haq showed the PAF’s growing strength across modern combat domains.
Drone capability demonstrated in Bunyanun Marsus
The air chief said Pakistan demonstrated its best drone capability in Bunyanun Marsus, which showed how the Pakistan Air Force has adapted to modern warfare.
According to him, the use of drones, cyber operations and electronic warfare reflected the PAF’s operational advancement.
He said the Pakistan Air Force is the protector of the country’s air borders, and every soldier demonstrated excellent capabilities in combat. The air chief said the courage, professionalism and readiness of PAF personnel were central to the success achieved during Marka-e-Haq.
