These planes are outdated now in 2017

They cant achieve supersonic speed beyond mach one

in a modern war with almost all missles both SAM & WVR & BVR dog fighting missles averaging mach 3 these mirages will last literally minutes.

These fighters which could represent 25% of the entire PAF fleet can only operate in a airspace where there is total supremacy . Over the LOC or beyond they will be mauled to death so PAF tactics will be to keep over safe skys only

PAF UPDATED the electronics but could not change the airframe flight controls or instal a new more powerful moderrn engine.

buying dated equipment like this has severe limitations over all.

THIS IS WHY THUNDER WAS SUCH A GOOD MOVE

If you think PAF don't have trust in the upgrade they gave to M-3/5 and will not put them on frontline fight then you are mistaken, M-3s are still strike fighter of PAF.
