Capabilities of PAF Dassault MIRAGE-III/V.

[araz]

The Mirage III/V is one of those rare girls who just keeps getting better looking with age...which is a lot more than can be said of the human variety.

It isnot so much its beauty but the fact that it has fitted into a niche role for PAF where it is perfect, cheap and cheerful.

This might sound crazy, but PAF might buy weapon upgrades for Mirages from the UAE if they think they need them. Denel Dynamics as it stands is dead, most engineers left and many have gone to the UAE.

Nothing wrong with that but nice to see the info graphic to show how the weapon is deployed. So informative in that regard.

@denel

I have discussed this with him, he knows it is dead and many of his colleagues are working in the UAE.

Paf never fired one in 71 or ever in-fact I read in some case they were jettison to get weight off

Launch parameters made it not use fuel in combat conditions ??

I believe one was fired but the pilot had to break lock.

Long long time ago, this is from my predecessor/mentor - they had evaluated R530 for F1AZ/III's but found the performance was not to the mark; it was decided not to pursue any of these as they were highly prone to ECMs. Super R530 was different though.
