Rafales are 'overhyped', Rafale is no 'game-changer' - Former indian airforce Air Vice Marshal

[Invicta]

Vintage Mirage 3/5 are much faster then Rafale. They can drop their stand off munitions, go to full afterburner and no Rafale can catch them.....especially if based in Ambala. Mirage Rose is one of the best strike AC in the region.

Absolutely correct IAF spent a lot of money on their Jaguars to upgrade them with the same intentions but they have not achieved the same effect due to inherent limitations of Jaguar platform. Mirage's Rose upgrades were the best money spent in that era on aircraft upgrades.
