A page from the diary of Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas Shaheed (N.H). On 7th August'1967 he made up his mind to join any of the three Armed Forces... he wanted to improve his Urdu handwriting.

PAF scored its first victories when Squadron Leader Sarfraz Rafiqui and Flight Lieutenant Imtiaz Bhatti shot down two Vampires each who were attacking Pakistani troops in Chamb ( 1965 War )

28552_120803211271176_6513446_n.jpg
The day was 7th of September, 1965 and the location was Sargodha. Squadron Leader M. M. Alam along
with his wingman got airborne in his F 86E to challenge the intruding aircraft of the Indian Air Force. While he was hovering over Sargodha, Alam saw four Hunters appearing from the south-east direction. Hunter is a much faster aircraft than F 86E.
At that time, there was another formation of the PAF aircraft also in the air that was being led by Flt Lt. Bhatti. Both the PAF formations started chasing the Indian Hunters.
When the PAF pilots tried to close on to the Hunters, they started jettisoning their fuel tanks so as to acquire the required speed and fire at them. At this time, as luck would have it, the aircraft being piloted by Bhatti, couldn’t detach its fuel tank due to some technical fault and as a result he had to abandon this mission.
Now, Alam and his wingman had to face four Indian Hunters all by themselves. Seeing the offensive intentions of the PAF pilots, the Indian Hunters adopted a defensive mode and were trying to run. Alam and his wingman kept chasing them and started coming close to them.
Alam and his wingman were being provided cover by M Arif Iqbal (now retired Wing Commander) who was monitoring the whole affair in his F 104 hovering above. He was ready to chase any of the Hunters if it decided to escape from Alam.
When Alam was ready to engage the first Hunter on his extreme right out of the four, he spotted a fifth one further to the right. At the last moment, Alam decided to go after this fifth one.
Within 2 seconds, Alam had shot down the first out of the five Hunters of the Indian Air Force, an air force that was five times the Pakistan Air Force. The Hunter hit the ground and caught fire.
After killing the first one, Alam went after the next Hunter. Within a few seconds, the second Hunter was also shot down and that also caught fire.
Now, the remaining three Hunters, instead of challenging Alam, adopted a defensive posture. Alam chased the third one and fired and destroyed the third one as well!
Now, only two aircraft were left which were to be tackled by Alam. He took aim and shot both of these aircraft too. The entire operation came to its successful conclusion within a time of less than a minute!
After accomplishing this unusual feat, Alam landed as a War Hero of the Pakistan Air Force. He had written history in military aviation. He had shot down five Indian aircraft with one in a record time of less than a minute which remains a record till today! He was awarded a gallantry award of Sitara-i-Jurrat (The Star of Courage) for his exceptional flying aptitude and courage.
Long live Alam; long live Pakistan Air Force; long live Pakistan!!!

I have utmost respect for your soldiers, and I don't mean to ruin this thread but please don't spread blatant lies.

This topic has been discussed to death on this forum. The last time it was discussed, it lasted 20 odd pages before it got shut by one of the mods saying 'Our soldiers lost the war because of leadership.'

Abdul Sattar Edhi, the country’s leading humanitarian, was shifted to Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) on Monday after he experienced weakness, said Edhi’s spokesperson Anwar Kazmi. However, it was nothing major, he added.
Edhi is being kept under observation at the institute and will be dispatched tomorrow, the spokesperson said, adding that Edhi goes to SIUT often for his check-ups.
Edhi fell unconscious at the Edhi Home in Sohrab Goth after seeing the bodies of the would-be migrants who were travelling to Iran, and were killed by militants on Friday.
He recovered after being taken outside the centre for some fresh air.
His son, Faisal Edhi, had told The Express Tribune that the immense workload along with the shock of the sight before him contributed to his low blood pressure.

Rattanbai "Ruttie" Petit [The Flower of Bombay] after marriage Maryam Jinnah - February 20, 1900 - February 20, 1929 was the second wife of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Ruttie and Jinnah made a head-turning couple. She used to call her husband “J”. Her long hair would be decked in fresh flowers, and she wore vibrant silk and headbands lavish with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. And Jinnah in those days was the epitome of elegance in suits custom-made for him in London.

Maj Shoaib who survived the Mi 17 crash with 90% burns left for this eternal abode yesterday . After the crash he pulled out 2 men who have both survived and walked to the ambulance before collapsing unconscious. Unable to open his eyes, he told his wife to take care of his mother and 2 daughters before he was evacuated to Kharian Army burn hospital. He asked about Amir, his co pilot and coursemate who didnt survive the crash. Multiple heart attacks, swellings and infections finaly took him from us. His heroic act of valor in saving his crew while he himself burned will be not be forgotten..
May ALLAH TA'ALA Reward him immensely.. Ameen Summa'Ameen

Flt Lt Yunus Hussain Shaheed, Sitara-e-Jurat

Flight Lieutenant Yunus Hussain fought in air battles aggressively, fearlessly and with great professional skill. During one such engagement he fought singly against 6 enemy aircraft and shot down 2 Hunters. Though his own aircraft was damaged in this encounter, he managed to bring it back to base safely. On 6 September, while attacking Halwara airfield, his small formation was intercepted by a large number of enemy and, although his aircraft was hit, he refused to break off the engagement, in complete disregard of personal safety, and was reported missing from this mission. He became a symbol of courage and professional ability for other pilots. For his gallantry, valour, professional skill and devotion to duty he is awarded Sitara-i-Jurat.

Sepoy Maqbool Hussain....Sitara e Jurat....
Azad Kashmir Regiment.....1965 war

Sepoy Hussain, who was injured and taken prisoner by the Indian Army in the 1965 war, spent 40 years in Indian jails. He was released as a civilian prisoner in 2005. During his imprisonment, Hussain was subjected to terrible human rights abuses.

Hussain, bearing army No 335139, was hit by enemy fire on the Line of Control at the start of the 1965 war. Subsequently, he was taken prisoner by the Indian army, who denied him Prisoner of War status. Trained in the traditions of the Pakistan Army, Hussain faced all the suffering and refused to share any information about his country with his captors,they terribly tortured him— so much that they cut his tongue....when they cut out his tongue, he wrote ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ (long live Pakistan) with his own blood on the walls of the jail. Hussain also became mentally ill during his four decades of incarceration.
Hailing from Azad Kashmir, and engaged to Naseeran Bibi before joining army, Hussain’s aging mother kept waiting for his return after the war but he di"nt return. When she died, Hussain’s mother was buried at the entrance of the village at her request, so that she could ‘meet’ her son when he returned.
He returned 40 years later in 2005 from Indian imprisonment...without his tongue and mentally ill....
The Chief Of Army Staff Gen Kayani,in recognation to his services,extreme devotion to the country and valour awarded him Sitara e Jurat.
