PAF is set to receive a batch of Egyptian Air Force Mirage Vs over the coming months

[M.AsfandYar]

Mirage Vs ..why ?

Cannibalization. There are next to no spare parts other than these planes and there are few left in the world.

 

[Philip the Arab]

There is a section called Pakistan air force and a sub-section called JF-17.. just have a look there..plenty of interesting info on the plane..You might find your answer there..


It has BVR missiles and stand-off weapons already, and has proven its strike capabilities in the recent showdown with India..

Yes but if it is configured to fulfill the same role as the Mirage V it will be the best at doing that one role. Think of it like the Su-25 that carries only short rage a-to-a missiles and like he Su-25 the JF-17 could be outfitted with gunpods, rockets, and different weapons than the standard JF-17.

 

[The SC]

But strike fighter need to carry more bombs for ground attack where as BVR missiles used for only air fight

There are dual and triple bomb carrying tracks now a day.. that should do it for ground attacks.. remember the JF-17 is a multi-role fighter already..

10 brand new J-10 C will mean only 10 aircraft, while this deal would keep 150 + odd mirages running for quite a while.
Who knows that Saudi might be responsible for this deal as they were the one who funded their upgrades in the first place if i am not wrong??

Pakistan is helping Saudi in nuclear energy no question about it, but in reply what we get???? Just 6 billion dollar loan and few million barrel oil, Poor from our diplomats. Pakistan should atleast demand UAE Mirage 2000 as well as 20 billion dollar

yes its multi role, but its carry less load, even alot less than Mirage 5 which can carry 4000 KG of bombs for ground attack

No CAS variant for it though the JF-17 might have weird performance for that mission. If Gunpods, Rockets, and Maverick missiles could be integrated it would make a hell of a good CAS aircraft.

No clue if something like this could be done with the JF-17.

Are you this guy:

First you have to prove that Pakistan is helping KSA in nuclear Energy..if that was true why then Saudi Arabia is seeking the tech from the US, Russia, China, France and South Korea!?
Second ..get the facts right..The recent investments are up to $ 50 billion..

Who is talking about CAS? Pakistan has trainers that can be converted to that.. we are talking about strike capabilities like the F-15, the F-35, the J-16, the Rafale, the SU-35 and the Mirage 2K for example..

I was talking about these on the JF-17:

Can't all of those also cover CAS hence why the F-16 is used in Afghanistan but can also act as a strike fighter.

Because the F-16 is also a multi-role fighter..

But even that Neanderthal with night strike capabilities can be dangerously potent..

 

[Mithridates]

when used with proper tactics these fighter have downed Iranian F-14s during Iran-Iraq war

that was mirage f-1 with a radar that can detect a fighter size plane from 120 km away.

Yes it was the F-1 which is of similar size as the Mirage-III and Mirage-V.. it was in visual range dog fights they attacked in packs of 4 and managed to shoot down a few F-14s..

The Mirage-V is derived from the Mirage-III and the Mirage-I is a development of the Mirage-III.. which is the common denominator..

at those days f-1 was superior to US f-16s. the reason iraqis couldn't use its potentials was their poor trainings. saddam didn't know the difference between a pilot and tank crew, in one incident three mirages went against two tomcats and according to one of their pilots f1s fired 12 missiles on them, he said they were nervous and in all cases broke the radar lock on us so the missile didn't hit us. just compare it with pakistani pilots that managed to take down indian su-30 with jf-17. iraqi air force was superior compared to ours but they had no proper trainings. f-14 was just an excuse for their poor performance.

 

[Keysersoze]

PAF needs air superiority/interceptors, guys buy some interceptors or upgrade the jf-17 radar.

Do they? Please share how you figured that out? These aircraft are for ground attack.

 

[Wow]

I may be wrong but i think our mirages are the only plane that are nuclear capable being able to carry the raad cruise missiles
