Many sources claim that Pakistani fighter pilots are highly skilled and considered among the best in the world. Some even attribute this reputation to specific pilots and their achievements in aerial combat. For example, M.M. Alam, a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pilot, is credited with downing five Indian aircraft in a single sortie during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, which is considered a world record. Another notable pilot, Saiful Azam, served with the PAF and later the Bangladesh Air Force, and is credited with downing several Israeli aircraft during the Six-Day War.
