He is lethal, he is sharp and most of all he is flown by a PAF professional.

Not many aircraft can replace the old faithful Mirages in their Bomb Truck role.
Here the type is carrying 10 CBU as well as two sidewinders and two drop tanks.

Agree, we have more than 150 of them plus some more in reserve. Hopefully we will get the Egyptian Horus as well. Can anyone count the number of bombs laden on this Bomb truck?

(This Mirage 5 may not be ours at the time the picture was taken, maybe joined our inventory later as we are the only global collectors!)

I think the time is right for paf to invest and upgrade 4 full mirage squadrons as a dedicated deep strike platform. I don't see them going away for next 10 years. To maintain 20 squadrons, paf need 4 full deep strike mirage squadrons complemented by 4 full f16 squadrons as we have today plus 12 JFT squadrons. Looking at this picture paf should think of rose5 upgrade to 82 mirage 5 available currently mirage5f, mirage pa, pa2 and pa3.

What sort of improvement would you expect to see in mirage, which is already not there w.r.t being a bomb truck ?
Aircrafts is already been overhauled and being maintained.
