This painting depicts Squadron Leader M. M. Alam in his famous North American F-86F (S/N 54026), ready for another mission at Sargodha Air Force Base during the 1965 war.

On 7 September 1965, Squadron Leader Muhammad Mahmood Alam — the legendary “Little Dragon” — carved his name forever into the annals of aviation history. In a dazzling display of unmatched skill and courage, he downed five Indian Hawker Hunters in less than a minute, a record that still stands unchallenged.

Flying his F-86F Sabre with fearless precision over Sargodha, he single-handedly thwarted a major enemy strike, earning the Sitara-e-Jurat with Bar and securing eternal glory as one of the Pakistan Air Force’s greatest fighter heroes.

“The first UAV kill”

The painting depicts a PAF pilot in an F-16B of PAF No 9 Squadron “Griffins” turning back after destroying an IAF Searcher II UAV on June 7th, 2002. The PAF became the first airforce in the world to shoot down a UAV with a fighter aircraft using AIM-9L heat seeking missile.

The painting commemorates an event on the night of 7 June 2002. An Israeli-made Searcher II UAV operated by India entered Pakistani airspace near Lahore on an ISR mission during the India–Pakistan military standoff (Operation Parakram / Operation Sentinel).

PAF air-defence systems detected the slow-moving, low-signature intruder. An F-16B of No. 9 Squadron “Griffins,” flown by Squadron Leader Zulfiqar Ayub with Squadron Leader Afzal Awan as weapons systems officer, intercepted and destroyed it at about 13,000 feet with an AIM-9L Sidewinder heat-seeking missile. Debris fell near Dogran Kalan village, south-west of Lahore, and was recovered.

According to the Pakistan Air Force, this was the first time a fighter aircraft shot down a UAV at night using a heat-seeking missile—a technically demanding achievement given the target’s small size, low speed, and weak infrared signature. The event is regularly commemorated by the PAF as a milestone in its history.
