The Marauding Mirage

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

But they said , the Mirage can't be modified now you are saying it can carry 4-5 cluster bombs

I see lot of Goodies whats that pod in center column looks very special

Pakistan Zindabad~

There is nothing on center hard point

Looks like a bombi
Would have been nice to have a Pod or enhancement

2017 video with 50 year anniversary of mirages in paf 1967-2017
The RPK-10 tank & bomb carrier was developed to add range and capability to the Mirage. Each tank could carry up to four bombs to be carried along with 110 Gal (500 l) of fuel. Both iron bombs and laser guided bombs could be used and the tank did not significantly affect operation.

So additional 1000 liters plus 31-3200 liters internal fuel plus Load of 10 bombs and 2 self defense aam

There are also other hard points which are not active in paf like in intake and mid fuselage

Useless we’re available in 71 but were considered useless weapon during combat conditions and dropped or fired to get rid of additional weight (450/500lbs) during Combat

Indian formations of armour, Infantry and artillery would operate under umbrella of SAM like Akash and QRSAM which will make close air support task very challenging for PAF.

To take out enemy AD from the air, drones are used as tier 1 force for attack, UCAV's armed with missiles. Cheaper in cost than aircraft and if shot down, no life is lost, even if they take out a few Sam systems before while being shot down, half the job is done. Second tier aerial attack are gunships, using cover of natural obstacles armed with long range ATGM's and directing over the horizon fire of Artillery and MLRS on enemy . Third tier attack is PAF's strike aircraft, by that time most of the mobile SAM's would have already been destroyed.

Burq missile integrated with Burraq UCAV having the range of 8 km (max) .... plus Burraq is a slow moving target for SAM and probably will have to operate in EW environment which mean either lots of UCAVs are required for the task or may be they will only be used as bait.

Wow. Impressive payload of Hijara Anti-Armour bombs there. This is great really.

Hijara really is more effective against light armour. I hope we are working on some sensor fuzed sub munitions so we need to carry less and thus can increase their penetration power making it much more effective against heavy armour columns of enemy.

@Dazzler @HRK @Sulman Badshah
Chinese are now making some good sensor fuzed sub-munitions too. May be time to go for them?

even we have initiated a sensor fused munition program as shown in recent IDEAS but it still is a ground launch system not air launched

It seems they will do bombing run over enemy armor under cover of JFTs or F-16s.

BTW anyone have any idea about the status of QRSAM of India is it operational ....???

S400 is coming to scene as well. Time to park the mirage in PAF museums, public parks and universities.

Do we have guided anti armor sub munitions for A-100E which Chinese already have?

It can be very good force multiplier.
