Retired Pakistani Air Commodore Sattar Alvi has received a special medal from Syria for his bravery during the 1973 Arab Israeli conflict. This conflict happened when a group of Arab countries tried to take back land from Israel. This led to important changes in the world.
During this time, Alvi played an important role by shooting down an Israeli Mirage plane while he was flying a Syrian Air Force MiG-21 fighter jet. This showed that Pakistani pilots were brave and skilled in protecting Syrian skies.
Syria’s government giving him this recognition makes Pakistan proud, and it reminds everyone of Alvi’s bravery. He will be remembered as a brave and important person.
