Majestic Mirage

[Windjammer]

Brilliant plane.
Interesting to see one pic in a which Mirage III are flying over the ocean. Does PAK or PN use Mirages in a maritime strike role ? Exocet anti ship missiles ? If so the Indian Navy should be very wary of this land based maritime role. I guess they would be based out of Karachi or Sindh air strips.
IN uses Jaguars in a maritime strike role. Mirage vs Jaguar could be quite interesting. Both sides could disrupt shipping and menace naval ships. Pak can use superior sub forces to get info on Indian movements and send in Mirages.
Off course India has Vikramaditya (soon) with Mig 29s - they'll give any Pak planes a very hard time. Not to forget the Delhi class destroyers and their anti aircraft capability.

PAF uses Mirage-5PA-3 in maritime strike armed with AM-39 Exocet ASMs, while several PN aircraft are fitted with the Exocet and Harpoon missiles while the Pakistan manufactured R'had cruise missile adds another dimension while land based systems will maintain a potent balance. During the last India/Pakistan conflict, an F-16 detachment also moved into Karachi.

^ I guess F-16 would provide escort to Mirages.

Interesting Windjammer. R'had cruise missile - is that the Tomahawk cruise missile copy ? Is it air launched ?
Any upgrades made to the Mirages in Pak service - seems like that they have been used for almost 40 years.

I wonder why Mirages couldn't earn a name as much as F16s or other famous fighters did, can anyone enlighten me about any victories of mirages against F16s or other renouned fighters?

From where i can see Mirages are good for strike mission but not as good for Airfights, correct me if i am wrong.

My dear, Don't forget Mirage is technically over 50 years old, it was say an F-16 for it's era, during the six day war, the French fighter came into it's prime. The Mirage-3E for example is strike/interceptor while the 5PA version is a strike fighter and 5PA-3 is intended for Martime missions equipped with an Agave radar to conjuncture with the Exocet ASMs.
