PAF F-6 - Defending the Home Base I Indo-Pak War-1971

[dexter]

On 3 December 1971, Pakistan Air Force launches airstrikes against Indian Air Force bases, hoping to repeat the success of Israeli Operation Focus of 1967. But attacks are unsuccessful and Pakistan Air Force is now flying defensive CAP missions, expecting Indian retaliatory airstrikes. Flt Lt Latif is on cockpit standby in his F-6 when an air raid warning is sounded. He watches in horror as an Indian Su-7 dive on his airplane and launches rockets. After surviving the attack, Flt Lt Latif takes off on his own initiative, teams up with another F-6, and soon receives a warning about another Su-7 flight approaching his home base.

This historic reenactment focuses on events of the second day of the Indo-Pak War of 1971 and 23rd PAF Fighter Squadron equipped with Chinese supplied versions of MiG-19 (i.e. F-6), using once again DCS World as the main tool.
