The 1965 Kalaikunda Airstrikes (Urdu: اردو, کالائی کنڈا فضائی حملے) were a series of two airstrikes by Pakistan at the start of the Indian invasion of Lahore during the 1965 War. At 07:45 on 6 September, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) under Squadron Leader Shabbir Hussain launched an airstrike that destroyed the majority of the Indian Air Force bomber force in the eastern sector on the ground. The following day, the Pakistan Air Force proceeded to bomb the same air base again. By noon, the Indian Air Force, with about 450 aircraft, were destroyed. It was also very successful in hindering Indian air operations in the eastern sector for the duration of the war, and is one of the most successful air attacks in military history.[1]
