Did they are upgraded to ROSE standards?

As per my knowledge, only the 500s serial numbered Mirage-IIIEAs (ex-Australian vintage) under went the ROSE-I upgrade.

we just came here share our condolences and then forgot, we just keep in that mind that Pilot was someone's son, a brother, and husband and a father of some, their lives will be changed completely in just a moment.

how can we fill the space of a father of his child, a husband of his wife. a son of his mother and father.

May Allah grant his soul in peace.

Eventually Mirages would be retired and replaced by JF17s. PAF ac are maintained according to highest practises of maintenance. I believe last November mirage accident was mechanical problem and pilots wanted to save the aircraft at all costs against clear cut instructions to eject at 2000 AGL. It is generally the urge to save ac that leads to fatal accidents. There are many glorious examples where to avoid populated area pilot delayed ejection and got martyred. This Mirage accident it is too early to comment. It could be human factor or weather or mechanical malfunction. Best is to wait for Inquiry Report. Our senior commanders lead from the front and hence fly a lot.

All Pakistani jet retro fitted with zero zero ejection seats but most of the times Pakistani pilots don't wants to eject over populated area and to save civilians the prefer to serve give their lives.

You're right, I should have been clearer :
I believe the pilot maneuvered to avoid civilian zones.
However ...

The Mirage 921 of the Bandits was a ROSE1 upgrade.
I know the MB Mk10 is supposed to be a Zero-Zero but
it just cannot save you except at level attitude near ground.
Forget ejecting closing fast in a spiral which is always though
in any case. It just cannot compare with an MB Mk16 or any
with electronic sequencer and so on.

That's no flaw by the engineers of PAC or anything like that,
it's just an age related problem as those have reached their
initially planned retirement date ( 2010-15 max. ).

Good day to you under the circumstances, Tay.

Please.... till 2020 PAF needs to replace 200+ Aircraft (Mirage and F-7PG) Currently JF-17 is replacing F-7PG and you are saying that they can serve more 10 years...

Result gonna be more crashes

Plz Edit your thread title....
He Martyred not killed RIP

forcing young pilots to fly 40-50 years old jets is killing ,when PAF will realise the worth of young Pilots over obsolete fleet?

No body forcing anyone, They himself proudly accept to serve Pakistan till death.

 

[barbarosa]

No body forcing anyone, They himself proudly accept to serve Pakistan till death.

It does not means to wast the precious lives of the pilots.
PAF pilots should martyr in the war, not to kill them in the 50 60 years old air crafts. It is their aim.

 

[fitpOsitive]

I am sure that pilot, the son of Pakistan, was trying his level best to save the plane to a limit, that he forgot about ejecting and saving his own life.
Why don't we ground them all?
