Pakistan keeps ageing Mirages flying

. . .
After 36 years:o:

It’s a parade plane, 8 is more than enough. LCA’s primary role is to boost the morale of India. As India still trust its flying coffin over LCA in an actual combat. This is what happens when you keep a cancelled project alive. It’s a zombie project that should be cancelled long ago and it’s still should be cancelled. But because of national pride Indian gov shove it down the throat of Indian AF.

My excitement or being the sole operator?

Sole operator............

They had to rename the Falcon to Viper just because of tharki Paks....

The Jet industry works in a slight different way. Things are looking bright and bright with each passing day for Pakistani Air Force.

Viper was also an early contender as a name for the F-16(thanks to Battlestar Galactica). They couldn't call it the falcon because that name was taken by the Mirage manufacturer's business jet Dassualt Falcon. So General Dynamics had to settle with Fighting Falcon officially and Viper unofficially

yeah the story goes that PAF had mastered some maneuvers which the Falcon was not designed for and thus they had to redo the name.

France cant meet the price.

Pure economics favor JF17.

Sometime in the Future. Tejas may try as well.

The best option to replace them would be the Rafale. The price tag is too much for Pakistan, however, retired Air Commodore Tariq Yazdani said.
