December 1971-the familiar scenario of September 65 is repeated here - Saber shoots down the Hunte
.... and Saber downs a Gnat. This one by Salim Baig Mirza from no 26 Squadron - he was to score more.....
This incredibly low level encounter with the Hunter resulted in Hunter 'driven' to the ground by Mirza. Flt Lt K P Muralidharan's Hunter A462 of No.20 IAF Squadron exploded into a fireball.
A trio of F-86 Sabers of the no. 19 Squadron patroling the sea coast
