Pakistan keeps ageing Mirages flying

[DESERT FIGHTER]

The reason the Pakistanis are still flying in paf is simple

They have a tiny gdp and tiny military budget so replacing 120.mirages from the 1960S and 70S with mirage 2000 was impossible .

Half the mirages are free donations from Libya,and Australia who gave them.away to Pakistan .

They served you well
And now the chinease have designed and delivered the thunder to replace them all for budget cost .

Great move imo

Now you can take that massive dildo out of your behind.

Pakistan keeps ageing Mirages flying

How the topic is relevant to Indian defense thread? It's their business, whatever they want to keep flying....

Pakistan Airforce Mirages fighter planes were upgraded by the French.


With a combined total of 180 Mirage IIIs and Mirage 5s in service in 1998, the Pakistan Air Force is the world's second largest Mirage operator - second only to the French Armee d'l'Air (French Air Force). The Mirage entered service with the PAF in 1968. Mirage IIIs are high-speed, all weather, delta wing, long-range fighter-bombers while Mirage Vs are ground attack aircraft derived from the Mirage IIIs, which itself can also be employed in the interceptor role. The first order comprised of 18 Mirage III EPs, 13 Mirage III RPs, 3 Mirage III DPs plus 28 Mirage 5 PAs, 4 Mirage 5 DPAs, 30 Mirage 5 PA2/3s. In 1990, PAF obtained 43 used Mirage III Os and 7 Mirage III ODs from Australia and then purchased 40 reconditioned Mirage III Es from France in 1996 pushing the total to 180 aircraft. The Mirage equips No. 5, No. 7, No. 8, No. 22 (OCU) and a CCS squadron.

• ROSE: Retrofit Of Strike Element: Is actually the major (Avionics + Radar) upgrade that the PAF Mirage fleet underwent during the 90s.
• ROSE-I: This included upgraded cockpit instrumentation, Grifo-M Radar and weapons system reconfiguration. (BVR-able).
• ROSE-II: This included the Sagem implemented MAESTRO Nav/Attack System. (Strike).
• ROSE-III: This included the Sagem MAESTRO Nav/Attack and FLIR. (Precision Strike). Mirage ROSE-III can carry out surgical strike missions using long-range glide bombs.

Project ROSE at MRF is a special Project, which is supported by Air Headquarters. In financial year 2003-04, Project ROSE was tasked by Air Headquarters to upgrade Avionics of Mirage-V EF aircraft. Rose-III modified 1st serial aircraft was displayed at Paris Air Show from 11 - 19 June, 2005. The participation in such a world renowned forum has given MRF an opportunity to effectively market its products and services in the international aviation industry. In Pakistan the new fighter received the designation JF-17 (Joint Fighter-17) and is planned to replace the F-7, Mirage III/5 and Q-5.

French companies have technical cooperation with Pakistan,China and even Russian. Mistral Carrier were not being sold to Russians but navigation equipment were stolen from Mistral Carrier according to reports during the French and Russian Navy Exercises. Russian Navy Technicians went on board of Mistral Carriers in France which are being sold to Egyptian Navy.

One very good question arises here. Have the French defense Industries have transferred BVR missiles to Pakistan Air Force ?

I have complemented your paf for finding the option to replace your oobsolete junk f7 and mirage planes via the thunder programme . A very wise and workable realistic move .

India has utterly failed in this reg
