Summary
[edit]DescriptionSquadron Leader Munir-Ud-Din Ahmed (Shaheed).jpg |
English: On 27 Sep 1927, brave and impassioned air warrior of PAF, Sqn Ldr Muniruddin Ahmed (Shaheed), SJ was born. As an epitome of leadership and bravery, he imprinted his name in the glorious history of PAF with display of utmost valour & sacrifice during 1965 Indo-Pak war.
Throughout the career, this top-notch F-86 fighter pilot thrived on the excitement of flying and combat. The enviable list of his achievements was long. Munir was the proud member of PAF 'Falcons' aerobatics team who made the world record by performing a 16-ship F-86 fighter formation loop first time in aviation history. He was also a proud member of the famous 'Sabre Nine' aerobatics team, which continued to mesmerize the audience during early 60s. During the war of 1965, Munir was posted at Sargodha as the Wing Ops Officer. He never liked the desk job and always pleaded his commander, Wg Cdr Anwar Shamim to detail him for Ops missions so that he could participate in combat. From 4-11 Sep, he participated in close support missions, especially in Chamb Sector, destroying a number of tanks and armored vehicles. On 10 Sep, he also shot down a Gnat in a clash at Ferozepur sector. During War, Munir volunteered for the daring & dangerous strike missions aimed at destroying formidable Amritsar Radar station, which was heavily defended and shrewdly camouflaged. Munir considered the destruction of the Amritsar Radar as personal challenge and being the Wing Ops Officer devised various tactics to neutralize this threat. After several determined missions by PAF fighters, eventually this highly defended radar station was rendered ineffective. In all these missions, Sqn Ldr Munir Ahmed unhesitatingly flew without regards for his personal safety and exposed himself within the firing zone of enemy guns for long periods in attempts to locate and destroy the targets. In the final successful attack on Sep 11, he made the supreme sacrifice when his aircraft was fatally hit by the heavy concentration of ack-ack guns. To acknowledge his bravery and sacrifice for the nation, Sqn Ldr Munir Ahmed (Shaheed) was awarded Sitara-e-Jurat. |
