Remembering national hero MM Alam on his 6th death anniversary

The sixth death anniversary of national hero MM Alam is being observed today.

In September 1965, MM Alam had encountered Indian war jets at three different points.

In less than a minute, five military jets of the Indian Air Force were downed one after another by Alam as he hit targets flying his Seber-86 jet. 

The precision and craft with which he carried the strikes continue to startle the air force soldiers to this day.
