Pakistan Air Force will celebrate Surprise Day tomorrow on the occasion of second anniversary of Operation Swift Retort, to pay tribute to valiant Shaheens' for their brave defence of the motherland while retaliating to Indian Air Force violation of its sovereign territories on February 27, 2019. 

The celebration ceremony of Surprise Day will be held at PAF Headquarters in Islamabad that will be telecasted live across all media channels. 

The Operation Swift Retort was a rapid response to Indian Air Force strike in Balakot obliterating Pakistan's airspace that had merely harmed a few trees and a wild crow.

The PAF had shot down two Indian fighter jets namely MiG-21 and Su-30 where the former pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was caught by Pakistan Army after his safe ejection and falling into the Pakistani side of the line of control.
