Surrender of the Indian Air Force French made Dassault Ouragan Aircraft.
In June 1965, India and Pakistan had a border skirmish in the Rann of Kutch region. On 24 June 1965, an Indian Air Force (IAF) Ouragan fighter (Serial No. IC 698), flown by Flt. Lt. Rana Lal Chand Sikka intruded into Pakistani airspace.
A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) F-104A Starfighter intercepted the IAF fighter near Badin in Sindh. Just as the PAF pilot locked on to the Indian fighter and was about to release his Sidewinder Air-to-Air Missile, the Indian pilot lowered his aircraft's landing gear (an internationally-recognized sign of aerial surrender). The IAF pilot landed at an open field near Jangshahi village near Badin.
The IAF pilot was taken prisoner and released on 14 August 1965 as a goodwill gesture on Pakistan's Independence Day - minus the IAF Ouragan fighter, which was retained by the PAF as a trophy and flown by a PAF pilot to an airbase in Karachi.
The Indian Air Force has a track record of crumbling under the Pakistan Air Force's dominance and tarnishing the reputation of French aircrafts.
