Marka-e-Haq Pakistan Hamesha Zindabad Ham Hen BunyanumMarsoos 1st COMMEMORATION 10 MAY 2026: MESSAGES from AIR CHIEF MARSHAL, ZAHEER AHMED BABER SIDHU NI(M), HJ

Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force

On commemoration of 1st Anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, Operation BunyanumMarsoos, I commend all citizens and personnel of Defence Forces of Pakistan for their professionalism and valour against Indian aggression.

Indeed, this day is of great significance in our history. The enemy once again challenged the very existence of a peaceful country in the wake of Pahalgam incident, little knowing about our indomitable will to fight. Undoubtedly, Pakistan Air Force, in synergy with sister services, delivered a decisive punch to the adversary, which stunned the entire world. I am proud that on the strength of exemplary courage, consummate professionalism and matchless spirit of sacrifice, PAF once more upheld its glorious legacy of fighting the outnumbered and being “Second to None” as envisioned by the Quaid.

My Dear Countrymen! For the first time in its history, Pakistan Air Force conducted Full Spectrum Operations employing Multi-Domain Warfare Capabilities; including integration of Space, Cyber, Electronic Warfare along with Niche and Disruptive technologies.

I would like to share that this resounding success was made possible on the strength of aggressive modernization efforts undertaken by PAF in recent years through smart and swift inductions, besides vigorous pursuit of a comprehensive indigenization strategy; with special focus on latest trends in contemporary warfare.

On this special day, I assure that PAF being a potent element of defence will continue to accomplish its national obligation of defending the aerial frontiers of this sacred country with even more ferocity in the times ahead. On this occasion, we pay rich tributes to Shuhada of Marka-e-Haq Operation BunyanumMarsoos, who rendered supreme sacrifice to ensure that we live with peace and honour.

May Allah Almighty guide our endeavors to safeguard aerial frontiers of our great country (Aameen).

Pakistan Air Force Zindabad!

Pakistan Paindabad!
