Capabilities of PAF Dassault MIRAGE-III/V.

[Ice-Le0]

Been wondering what exact weapons the Mirages IIIs and Vs can be outfitted with.

I have seen the IIIs fitted with what look to be Matra R.530s, AIM-9Ls, AIM-9P4s, and odd looking drop tanks which can mount 4 bombs, I don't know what size those bombs are, and seems to have some sort of rocket launcher in its nose.
The Mirage Vs meanwhile I have seen to only mount AIM-9P4s or P3s, Hijara AT Cluster Bombs, various dumb bombs of various size, and thats about it.

If anyone could give me a detailed list and associated images of any weapons I have missed, please feel free to

There is a special need which has freshly come up. Lets wait for another 27 Feb.

They have now been dedicated for CAP / fighter sweeps / OCAOs.


Fighter sweeps / CAPs / OCAOs.

So one silver bullet for the daddy vampire??

Retire these 50 year old junk planes

Droning of mirages to save pilot’s lives. Remotely controlled mirages.

And pray it is to prevent a 26th Feb initially. As one PAF Mirage driver remarked "we may have pulled off 27th Feb but we proved to be a reactionary force...."

Replace their capabilities through drones ?

Yes much cheaper option as compared to maintain their engines and old airframes don't forget the cost of program to convert them into drones.





I'll say this, convert real outdated f-7s into target drones.

The maneuverability and ordinance carrying capacity of drones is limited.

An aircraft converted to drone can show different results

I highly doubt an operator will be going mach 1+ at low level remotely only relying on a camera.


Pilot can see much more than a nose mounted flir.

But it will be interesting nonetheless

Hi,

Have you not heard of a " Terrain following radar "?

True, however a true drone needs over the horizon com link.
PAF has a long way to go, before we get that.
