Sir do or Mirage-iii or Mirage V comparable to Mirage 2000 the answer is no. But do they fit in our Air defense strategy answer is yes so far.
On the other hand Iran's F14s and F4s have been upgraded by Iranians them selves. The problem with F16s are the restrictions which we have accepted when we are not restricted then we can do anything.

Iran is so far safe from any strike because they have not only kept their 70's era jets operational but have developed new jets also about which outside world is so far much ignorant.

Iran is safe because of Russian backing. Don't for one moment think those 70s jets give Iran any power at all. Heck, they won't be able to face our Thunder even.

These 67 model fighters are still capable to play all role. All they need proper maintenance and upgrades. This is age of all guided weapons , fire and forget.

Depends what level of upgrades you mean. Like the MLU on our Vipers is pretty extensive and performed by the best in the business. Can they get an equivalent upgrade for Tomcats? Do they even exist? Highly unlikely. Facing modern BVRs and WVRs will require modern technologies. And firing modern missiles will require modern Radar and Avionics. It's like trying to transform Mehran to go head to head with Cultus.

In limited budget, if Isreal still modifying Kafirs with the most modern avionics ...may be time to learn from others...

In addition to budget, it's also about access to technology. That's what I am trying to point out. If you have access to everything, you can perform any upgrades.

Well we would see although I am not trusting the news myself although the guy is quite senior at his post and the friend he talked to is a journalist. But few things he said are not adding up.


Sorry in Turkey

What about the Su35 source ?

Where is the source now ?

Underneath they are pretty much the same. Both cars should have been replaced by Suzuki in early 2000's. They are selling crap to Pakistani people.

US is going to use these to arm twist Pakistan. They are going to make a last ditch effort. Pakistan on its part should be fully aware and a contingency plan should be in place. If we dont get the Zulus than what? Turkish it still has an American engine and Chinese did not performed as was expected.
