BREAKING:
Pakistan conducts successful test-firing of its first indigenous Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) air-to-air missile, the FA’AZ-1, with an OEM range of 100 kilometres.
The tested variant was the Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker variant. An active-radar seeker variant also exists.
Longer range FA’AZ-2 AA missiles are also under development.

Just bring 1 picture of a wreckage of Pakistan Air Force aircraft 🤡
Yes, 2 hangers were hit, 2 airstrips were hit bit absurd claims like 13 aircraft shaat daan Saar would only make IAF look more fatuous. Sad to see world's 3rd largest air force hiring PR handles to support their bollywood stories.

Now that I may have some free time, it's time to finish this. Just found it again after completely forgetting about it.

That's a fkin Yiha-III Kamikaze drone....
Some 30k+ followers account btw.
labeling a small kamikaze drone as a
Mirage when single piston engine is clearly visible in the wreckage....
Confirmed PAF loss during Operation Sindoor.
Wreckage footage verified by DGAO confirms a Pakistani Mirage III/5 strike aircraft was shot down in May 2025.
Tracked by India's IACCS grid. Intercepted by an indigenous Akash SAM battery.
Zero penetration achieved. Combined with 11 cratered PAF bases, Rawalpindi's air offensive completely failed.

The Actual Radar Imagery From May 10 . How PAF Was Tracking Brahmos From The Moment It Was Launched . Majority Of Brahmos Were Intercepted Clearly Visible In The Complete Video .
No ADS In The World Has A 100 Percent Interception Rate . US Iran War Is A Clear Example Of That .

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

A violent altercation and stabbing in the cockpit of a FlyDubai flight over Saudi Arabia this morning caused the 737-8 to plummet 18,400 feet in just under two minutes, exceeding its maximum operating speed by nearly 100 kts.
The aircraft landed safely in Tabuk.

On this day, No.8 squadron 🇵🇰 Haiders struck far and wide across India ... 20th sep 1965
The mission was aimed at keeping enemy air defences tied down at their rear bases while carrying the threat of PAF’s offensive reach towards Delhi & Gujarat-Rajasthan area.
To maximise accuracy and destructive effect, the B-57 bombers formation led by Sqn Ldr Rais Rafi, adopted a daring low level 'skip bombing' profile from just 500 feet above ground level with 10 seconds delay fuse !
Simultaneously, B-57 flying from Mauripur (Karachi) struck runway and dispersal area at Jamnagar in tandem with IAF Academy Jodhpur (which was shifted to dundigal in hyderabad decan after the war).
Unfortunately, central jail Jodhpur also got struck by few bombs which caused many casualties as prisoners were buried alive in their cells.
Both sides avoided deliberate 'terror bombing' of civilian targets but some collateral damage occured on either side.
