It's a splendid capture but the writing has spoilt the real impression of the image.

Interesting..
it shows LGBs in the arsenal. I have never seen Mirages armed with Paveways. Curious what pod they use for target acquisition and designation. Most probably buddy lasing from F-16s.

The ROSE upgraded Mirage-V, I believe have an integrated FLIR under the cockpit with which they can light up the targets.

Will these planes be transferred to another unit? Considering they had a very specialized role, so will they continue in the same role in a newer unit?
8 Sqn had the last of non ROSE updated Mirage VPA3 (Agave/Exocet). They had given up their anti ship role a few years back and were now just stand-off delivery with REKs. These will most probably be mothballed for spares.

I don’t believe the FLIR (forward looking infrared) can “lase” the target. It can help in target acquisition plus no off boresight view in the current configuration.
I maybe wrong on this.

PAF unfortunately did not also get the "Australian developed" underbelly centre-line bomb racks with them ... they would have been a nice capability upgrade.
