yes. the other question is if they are moving over AAMs tied to their HMDS and for BVRs or not and if there are existing aams for that purpose internally as well. It will need to under go a complete refurbishment to get a new lease of life.

The Brazilian AAMs and Sidewinders can both be, to some limited extent, be used with HMS.

Can we not get arms from Italy? Isuspect RD400 will share compatibility with most western armaments .
I do think that the armaments will not be transferred as they can be utilized by the Rafale. So let us see how this pans out

If we could somehow source the Meteor - it may be theoretically possible to mate it with the RC-400, even though that would not allow it to be used even at half its range. Perhaps add datalinks and AWACs, and you have a formidable alternative to the PL-15 and AMRAAM.

Darters can definitely be mated.

No way, the French aren't gonna give us meteors with the Indian having had purchased rafales

Why would you equip a 3 million dollar missile on such an old aircraft ? Its not worth it

Strange thing is there was an indian front who used to mock our mirage fleet and many of us used to say that these Mirage need to go. However after 27 Feb there has been a renewed sense of purpose in these aircraft!

This is a misunderstanding of how European defense industries, which are multi-country affairs, work. Basically, to put it simply, Italy or UK could sell us these missiles, without problems from the French.

Is the meteor not French only? I was unaware it's a europroject, i know the missile itself inside out but always thought the French made it

Denel it is ironic that once upon a time, both the RC-400 and the Darters were slated for the JF-17!

they still have a use and no wonder its not retired yet!

There is no doubt they are still good strike fighters but are 50 years old and life of our fighter is much more important ... we need to replace them with more modern and secured fighter.

I bet you in a case of conflict there is a huge risk of loosing mirrages more in accident and less in conflicts ... furthermore they also have very limited self defence capability which means even to strike they need an escort

Sir main issue is engine if Pak gets new engines/radars even then it shall be economical to upgrade them.

 

[The Accountant]

New radar means upgrading all avionics and weapon systems ... you are asking to fit new heart btain and eyes on existing body which has already passed its life ... not worth the investment ...

an alternative to them might not be so forthcoming any time soon.
