The last picture of Squadron Leader Alauddin Ahmad,being briefed with other colleagues before a mission deep inside India.
On 13th September 1965 PAF sabre jets flew towards Gawaliar India for attacking enemy supply lines.
Alauddin Ahmad spotted a cargo train he suspected was carrying ammunition.
He dived down for a visual. Once confirmed he fired rockets on the train. But the train had too much explosives and the resultant explosions also damaged his plane.
The last radio. transmission from him was received by PAF which confirms he bailed out.
It is believed that something went wrong after he ejected from the shrapnel stricken F-86 sabre.
He lost his life,but destroyed substantial amounts of enemy arms and ammunition,saving many lives as the ammunition delivery if had been successful,it had been used in the war.

PAKISTAN's FIRST ROCKET.
On June the 7th 1962 Pakistan's SUPARCO launched a two stage rocket which rose to an altitude of 130 Kilometers.
It was an excellent first launch which was intended for Pakistan's space program. Lack of funding over decades didn't allow SUPARCO to make much progress in satellite launch.

VINTAGE VIDEO OF PAF IN ACTION DURING 1965 WAR.
#Pakistan Air Force only had 138 Fighter Planes during 1965 war. Indian Air force was much larger.In fact IAF outnumbered PAF 5 to 1.
The gallantry,Bravery,better training and better mission planning of #PAF and their Pilots gave them the upper hand over a Much larger enemy.
