PAF has won two big awards at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2025. This event is one of the world’s biggest and most respected military airshows and was held from July 18 to 20.
Pakistan’s famous C-130A transport aircraft was given the Conqueror’s Delegates Trophy. This award was for its impressive display and unique design, which stood out among many other aircraft at the show. The C-130A has a long history of serving the nation and its special appearance at the airshow attracted a lot of praise from aviation fans and experts.
Another highlight for PAF was the JF-17 Thunder Block III fighter jet. This modern jet won the Spirit of the Meet Trophy. The award was given for its powerful and smooth flying performance, which included a mid-air refueling demonstration. This showed the world how advanced Pakistan’s air technology and pilot skills have become.
Both aircraft were major attractions at RIAT 2025. Visitors from different countries admired Pakistan’s aerial strength and innovative designs.
The excitement around PAF’s participation was even stronger this year because of its recent successful aerial engagement with India, which has brought more attention to Pakistan’s air force capabilities.
The PAF team says these awards are proof of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to keeping the country’s skies safe. These wins have made Pakistan proud and strengthened its image as a strong and modern air power on the world stage.
