in the longer run....the cost of a pilot's life is much more valuable than the hardware he flies.
good that he'd survived.

This shows that the Mirages are getting more and more problem. You can buy every spare art in the world. You can do maintenance like no other. You can train your pilots like no other. You will still see more accidents. This pretty much explains that the next squadron to get JF17 is a Mirage squadron. Not an F7 squadron. This also shows that we should not act negative when Indian Mig21 crashes. Old planes are bad. And I am glad that pilots survive these accidents. Both sides.

i read somewhere that it was not a ROSE upgraded mirage..

u dont have to justify or defend the crash..
doesn't matter if it was a ROSE upgraded mirage or not. first of all the engine is same and was not upgraded so its old. and second we DONT have proper spares, dassault is not making any more parts for it and so we get spare parts from older mirages or from other countries...

bottom line is the aircraft is old and needs to be replaced!
mirage should be the next one to get replaced after A-5s. F-7s can still fly as they are not that old compare to mirage 3 and 5.
