Interesting Windjammer. R'had cruise missile - is that the Tomahawk cruise missile copy ? Is it air launched ?

No R'had cruise is not the copy of Tomahawk. Tomahawk is launched from surface and R'had is from Air.

BGM-109 Tomahawk

Rh'ad cruise missile


Rh'ad is designed to launch from Air....
Ra'ad ALCM's airframe is designed with stealth capability,provided by the shape of the airframe and the materials used in its construction. Designed to carry conventional or nuclear warheads.

It's designed to launch from Dassault Mirage III ROSE and JF-17

Any upgrades made to the Mirages in Pak service - seems like that they have been used for almost 40 years.

Yes, many upgradation to modernise a number of PAF Dassault Mirage III and Mirage 5 fighter aircrafts (approx 70- 80) with new avionics in the form of ROSE I, ROSE II and ROSE III program.....which upgraded Mirage to the capability of 4th Generation fighters, including air superiority and strike missions capability.

ROSE I
New head-up display (HUD).
New "hands on throttle and stick" (HOTAS) controls.
New multi-function displays (MFD).
New navigation systems on diaplay screen including an inertial navigation system (An Inertial Navigation System (INS) is a navigation aid that uses a computer, motion sensors (accelerometers) and rotation sensors (gyroscopes) to continuously calculate via dead reckoning the position, orientation, and velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references. ) and GPS system.

New radar warning receiver (RWR), electronic counter-measures (ECM) suite and counter-measure dispensing system, dispensing decoy flares and chaff to confuse enemy missiles and radar.

FIAR Grifo M3 radar.
Beyond visual range (BVR) capability.
AIM-9L Sidewinder, AM39 (70–180 kilometres) etc
Add on of In-flight refuelling probes
RA'AD Cruise Missil.

ROSE II

Enhanced night-time surface strike capability.
SAGEM Forward-Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) system.

ROSE II fighters the capability to fly safely in the dark at very low level to avoid radar.

Few unknown enhancments.

ROSE III

New SAGEM navigation/attack avionics suite.
Mirage 5 ROSE III fighters and specialise in night-time surface strike missions.

Above all are only known upgradations.

All Mirage will be grounded before 2015, as PAF will induct more JF-17 Block II.

Good but better to sell all these Aircrafts to other countries and add 50% of more amount then go for Rafale

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

You are welcome bro, here is one better.

look at here guys,under the belly of mirage3 its marta-530 air-to air radar guided missile.in 1971s war only PAF was operating RADAR guided missiles.
also see a painting of Hussaini,mirage with marta-530 missile.

the bomb loading capability of mirage on fuel tank is also notable.
that bird was a big threat for IAF.

which type bomb is this ???

 

[TaimiKhan]

which type bomb is this ???

These are normal free fall bombs, but they have some special fins forgetting their name, which open up once the bomb gets released. Such bombs with such fins are used in low level bombing operations as they slow down the fall rate of the bomb giving the aircraft time to escape before the bomb hits the ground. As if such low level bombing is done through normal free fall bombs the chances of the aircraft getting hit by the splinters of the blast on the ground are great, so such fins slow down the bomb's fall, meanwhile the aircraft speeds away.

How much I know that 4 IL-78 bought for Mirage

The Il-78s will give the PAF its first airborne refueling capability. They will help train Pakistani crews in mid-air refueling techniques, and once operational will be used to refuel the Mirage-III, eventually JF-17 Thunder and Fc-20.

Pakistans-air-to-air-refuelling Il-78s are for Mirage-III
