Oldie but a goodie. Pic from 2005 in France of the PAF Mirage 5EF. Notice the missile? Not the one on the wing tip =P

Super 530D BVR

noted - wiki noted darters. but i dont think so.

Perhaps, but Sipri lists sd-10As for Mirages as well. Too much confusion.

Lol, MICA isn't integrated on Mirage 3.

AGAVE Radar, installed in Mirage-VPA3 under use of PN, has three modes of operation.

In the sea mode it can automatically track and designate small targets at sea. For air-to-air work it will track targets automatically after manual target designation, and has a dogfight facility which scans only the HUD field of view. For air-to-ground work the. radar can be used for mapping or target tanging. Given sufficiently accurate navigation and ranging data, the HUD can provide continuously computed impact point (CCIP) indications for ground attacks. Thomson-CSF believes that this is a large advantage over a conventional gunsight, allowing the pilot to aim and release weapons without having full view of the target. Diving attacks with late release can now be replaced by toss-bombing attacks in which weapons are released at much greater range.

AM-39 Exocet is enabled for operations with this radar.

Morocco had an upgrade of Mirage F1 that enabled BVRAAM integration as well as modern cockpit and sensors. Could similar program be done with Mirage 3 albeit the Indian Rafale deal could be tricky. MICA can reach 80km with some variants.

Waste of money
PAF will add a squardon if jf17 rather than doing major upgrades in mirages

Correct if the status quo is to be remaining; if still 2035+ is target; then a cheetah type conversion is due.

PAF is hopeful (though a false hope IMO) for replacements, the reason why you dont see any further upgrades. the will only keep a squardons two-three for strategic/nuclear role with raad which doesnt need upgardes

India experimented With jaguars to come to same conclusion ..its not worth it...

But i m just an amateur, i might be wrong
