No. 26
Squadron. This squadron
remained deployed on ADA since Oct 84, at Peshawar till the end of the conflict. Its
pilots flew 1564 western CAP missions whereas they were ordered 355 times to scramble for
hot interceptions. They repeatedly flew parallel to Afghan formations within our
territory. Large enemy formations would cross back into Afghan airspace on sensing their
presence. Demonstrating a high level of discipline and self control, the pilots of No 26
Squadron played their part in forcing the enemy to abandon their pursuit of Mujahideen
across the border, and thus minimised damage to own troops and population.
This unit was raised on August 30, 1967.
It currently is equipped with A-5Cs.
