Pakistan to buy the Emirati Mirage 2000-9 fighter jets in favor of Pakistan Air Force (PAF)

[nahtanbob]

Bhai, Initially dubbed Mirage 2000-9, this variant saw the upgrade of the radar and the associated avionics, the change of weapons configuration, and the extension of range.

Qatar has 12 or 18 of them. why would PAF buy such a small quantity ? It makes sense for India which has 50 or so Mirage-2000s

@Khafee ? when did that happen ? was it happening behind closed door ? i am hoping that our New Ambassador from KSA has played/Playing some role in it ?



M2k's are certainly better than older Mirage III/V even with ROSE upgrades , and with a new Package from the French you can have a pretty decent strike package for both land and Naval targets .

And air as well because in A2A combat our mirages are sitting ducks

I wouldn't be surprised if they are equal to our MLU'd F-16's or block 52's.

We should get whatever we can from where ever.
JF Blocks can and will continue progressing as they should be and when we reach JF 17 Block 70 it will be still same JF17 with upgrades. No Air Force in the world depends on only type of Aircraft.

Hogwash rehashed. Every six months or so there pops a mirage 2000-9 thread for some reason. There is no need. The jf-17 is the order of the day and thats it. The blk3 is half a generation more advanced than 2000-9 at the least.

People keep forgetting we need to replace our mirage 3 qnd 5 models and iae mirage 2000-9 are beasts

Is there a reason why UAE even want to sell them?
