Sorry, just confused, we the 6 kills attributed to 5 PAF pilots or 6? In other words did all 6 get a kill each?

01 kill is attributed to HQ9 HIMAD.
Whether its Heron or one of fighters. I think it has to be Heron as interestingly no one from AD operating HIMAD got an SJ -- So one each probably.

Back in the day when he was with Griffins (#9) getting ready for a Flypast 2016

Note: He was also part of "2019"


He was then ADA for the current Air Chief for a couple of Years. You can see him in the background in a number of photos

Handpicked for Swift Retort from No. 9 Squadron (right wing). His career took him in a good direction to fly in two major combat operations against a foreign air force in two different aircraft in less than a decade.

Since there is no actual "formal" attribution by the PAF/PA of which platform shoot down what yet(this is frustrating, maybe AFM magazine will clear that up as an exclusive?), it is difficult to make out what is going on. PAF refers to its kill list now as 6-0, but we know Rafales, Mig29, Mirage 2000, Su30MKIs were shootdown and as per Alan Warnes, 4 Rafales were destroyed/taken out. Therefore some/one of these at least is due to a SAM such as HQ-9BE to make the numbers work given what we have seen to date?

What's his name and rank?? Probably not one of the kill scorers as they were all awarded by Zardari......🤔🤔

Is confusing, although PM and Defence Minister have all stated 6 planes in total including 4 Rafales.

That is what is coming out of their mouths, but yeah, no word on exact platforms and who killed who. As you say, Warnes will reveal more, think he got an exclusive so maybe PAF keeping quiet till then!?
