Pakistan is celebrating the third anniversary of Operation Swift Retort to pay homage to the valiant heroes and all those involved in defending the motherland and shooting down Indian air force jets.
Pakistan Air Force has released a song to pay tribute to the heroes of operation Swift Retort. The song is sung by renowned singer Sahir Ali Bagga whereas it has been directed by renowned director Zohaib Qazi. The song pays tribute to officers of Pakistan, who made a new history of bravery in the air battle against enemy on 27th February, 2019.
Three years ago, Pakistan Air Force shot down two Indian air force jets for violating airspace and also captured Indian pilot Abhinandan after a dogfight.
IAF launched an aerial strike near Balakot, a town in Mansehra District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, targeting a religious seminary that New Delhi described as a militant camp, and falsely claimed to kill hundreds of terrorists. Pakistan released a clip of the detained pilot who introduced himself as a wing commander, Abhinandan, of the Indian air force with his service number.
Abhinandan was released by Prime Minister Imran Khan on a humanitarian basis. India negated the failure of the attack but the Indian air force is yet to recover from the humiliation following a false flag operation.
