No. 7 Squadron, nicknamed the Bandits, is a tactical attack squadron of the #Pakistan Air Force. Which is under the No. 31 Tactical Attack wing. At firstx 7 Sqn was equipped with B-57 Canberra. It was later decided to reequip the Bandits with Dassault Mirage IIIO fighters procured from Australia in 1991. In 1997 the unit received the ex-Australian Mirage IIIO fighters, which had been upgraded under Project ROSE. These ROSE I fighters had been installed with new avionics, including FIAR Grifo M3 radar, which allowed the squadron's role to be changed from tactical attack to multi-role. The squadron was deployed over Balochistan for air defence prior to Pakistan's nuclear tests in 1998. Mirage of No 7 Squadron carried out test of Ra'ad missile.

The Mirages remind me my childhood in 80’. I was living near a french airbase north of Paris ( definitely closed since few years), flying almost everyday. Oh my God !

It was a so enjoying time.

Saw a bunch of these things take off and land at sargodha AFB along with vipers and thunders, close enough to see the pilots and instruments. Quite majestic
