Atleast they would have some Basic system in place though FBW came in Mirage 3NG.Mirages are not FBW
So you want to design a new aircraft basically. New airframe, engines, FBW ... might as well replace outdated avionics from 15 years ago to latest ones going in Thunder for commonalityAtleast they would have some Basic system in place though FBW came in Mirage 3NG.
Why not go for JFT-XL like F-16 XL.Having around 80% part sharing with JFT.So you want to design a new aircraft basically. New airframe, engines, FBW ... might as well replace outdated avionics from 15 years ago to latest ones going in Thunder for commonality
If i am not wrong ROSE strike package is still better then or on par with JFT's.outdated avionics
Possibly for spares as paf still need to support 6 mirage squadrons of various roles fir some time
Pakistan is really extracting last of all the juice from these mirages
Mist of egyptian mirages are of mirage 5 varient
Depends on the condition of the aircraft. Unlike the other ex-Arab fighters we got that saw little to no use, Egyptians have been flying theirs for decades.To clarify the EAF mirages are called mirage 5 but most of them are mirage 3e varient. This varient is used by PAF
I think paf should extract maximum value from these mirages in rose 1,2 and 3 format till 5 th gen fighter is inducted and then whynot
Friend, you are coming to the party very late.Why not go for JFT-XL like F-16 XL.Having around 80% part sharing with JFT.

Egypt's capabilities in house are very limited friend.Depends on the condition of the aircraft. Unlike the other ex-Arab fighters we got that saw little to no use, Egyptians have been flying theirs for decades.
Actually I wonder if Egypt had been sending their aircraft to France for major overhauls or if they have some capability in house as well.
You cannot extract value from a complete hodge podge mixtures of M3/5 variants. It is long obsolete.To clarify the EAF mirages are called mirage 5 but most of them are mirage 3e varient. This varient is used by PAF

They have some capabilities in house but not where PAC is. I highly doubted that any of there examples will be Inducted to PAF . May be few in good condition could be available to fill in few numbers but most of them will be reduced to sparesDepends on the condition of the aircraft.

As we have spoken and narrated; the time to have transitioned all over into a new configuration/aircraft aka Cheetah is long over 18yrs back. M3/5 's era is long gone and needs to be put to a graveyard otherwise it is the pilots who will continue to pay the price for the lack of foresight by the govt/planners.
