So basically whole F7 series is going to retire first.

There may be few exceptions for example if some the older mirage sqn like 15 with oldest mirages but as far as I know mirage has more airframe life 8000 hours vs f-7s 26-2800 hours But there is also minor parts which are more problematic then major one

Lastly mirage provide longer reach stand off attack capability vs short leg air defense of f-7 which is now covered by f-16 plus jf

I am guessing here, time
Will tell, paf still flying f-7 in the new temp shooter sqn as LIFT , may be 50-60 odd hour per airframe left can be utilised as well till the end

Anyway paf plan to keep 20-22 (including 1 fcu) fighter sqn and close to 360-400 fighters ie ratio of atleast 1:2 with India in numbers for now
