We need a beast and in large numbers to carry out strikes on cities in India South and other parts of India.
NO, develop a long range cruise missiles that is accurate and buy it in large numbers. 1500km range cruise missiles would allow whatever destruction you want, hell launch them at all Indian airbases in waves.
 
Interesting read.

Only one problem I see in this article. It was written a lil' under 3 Years ago and not a word on the topic since.

So, I thought i'd dig a bit deep into their official website & learned that its actually connected to the Armed Forces.

No Tender so far, but (again) from 2017, it states that they want get rid of these Typhoons.

Eft is too expensive to maintain even for much richer countries, impossible in my opinion for Pakistan.
One Engineer/Technician is paid 10-50 times more in the West.!!

Western countries could not afford to maintain a handful of Mirages and we maintained 200 of them.
 
Don't think UK will let you do that m8. Gripen is a way better purchase if you could get it in the E variant.
 
Not just that, parts costs much more and whole plane is much more harder and more to expensive maintain then JF-17.
Agree,baring the initial set up costs i am sure our Mirage Rebuild factory will have some innovative economical solutions. Rebuilding and mastering the EJ200 engines can benefit our Jf17 and AZM projects also on a transfer of technology basis!!!

They will be fine trust me.

Is that possible? Rolls Royce may not allow changing of it's engines like that especially if they suspect Chinese may be trying to steal technology from them. J-10 is just as good as EFT as Air superiority role in my opinion. Much cheaper, and supply lines are Guaranteed to not cut off any time soon.

EF200 has been on the horizon for a while. The Chinese still use one of Rolls Royce variants on their JH-7As. I am sure rebuilding or servicing the EJ200s should not be a big issue. Maybe a transfer of technology for the EJ200s on a competitive price ,will boost the JF17s and AZM projects !!!
 
Russians(similar to Chinese tech).
Not at all true.
There is huge technological gap in aviation between China and Russia. Russia is far more superior in this area.
Though the gap is decreasing and these days Chinese jets are no joke.
 
you think its better to moderanize mirages with new wings and rd93 engine or to manufacture jf17 whose line is already active..

the answer is no brainer..ever wonder why USA never extended its f16 life rather built new ones altogether when the line was running in full capacity

a comprehensive update will cost more or as much as jf17 with far less life and capability..

mirages will slowly be cannibalized and will only see a small avionics update if any to keep them running till 2030


a thing of the past with high resolution optics pods and smart bomb/small diameter guided bombs..you dont need to fly slow and low any more if you have guided small diameter bombs with very good pod

if pAF doesnt has those..it hsould acquire them
I agree about retirement , but seems they remain in service for next few decades.

SMR95 update French Mirage F1 and 3 with RD33N....engine belongs to same family of RD93.
 
A poor and drug infested nation of Columbia has been showing keen interest in acquiring Spanish T2 Eurofighter Typhoons recently.

Chapter of EFT is closed for PAF, J-10C is the better option then EFT

Although i would love to see J10c in PAF colours,they are formidable aircraft but their airframes,engines,radars and avionics are decades behind any nearest Western counterpart.
