PAF-F-16-vs-Soviet-SU-25-large.jpg

PAF F-16 VS SOVIET SU-25 - April 12, 1986: The image depicts a PAF F-16 vs a Soviet SU-25. The leader fires an AIM-9 at the 'frogfoot' after a valid IR lock.. the SU-25 which has no afterburner and was flying at a cruising speed emitted very less heat, the sidewinder instead of trailing the SU-25 diverts towards the sun (a stronger heat source).

A-Lost-Opportunity-large.jpg

A LOST OPPORTUNITY - May 14, 1986: This sketch depicts a PAF Mirage flown by Squadron Leader Rao Qamar Suleiman (Later rose to rank Air Chief Marshal, Chief of Air Staff, PAF) intercepting Soviet MI-24 HIND gunship helicopter 8000ft over Chitral. Unluckily, the Leader's circuit breaker short circuited and he was unable to fire at a very vulnerable target. Therefore the mission was aborted.On the other hand, his wingman Flight Lieutenant Nawaz wasted another opportunity, as he aimed at the other hind, the guns didn't fire. on his return to Kohat AFB, the airmen opened the circuit breaker box to find out that Flight Lieutenant Nawaz never switched his guns from safe to arm, thus a golden opportunity was lost on account of the leader's bad luck and the wingman's lack of experience.
