Sir, I think you are missing the two on the centre line pylon.

What about structural integrity, does it not put stress on structure and fuselage over all those were relatively in good shape Mirages its been 15 Years and over all 30 Years or so.

with the attachments on the fuel tanks, Mirage-5 can carry up to 14 Bombs under the wings and fuselage.

Looks like Mirage is pretty much powerful aircraft here....ummm...

A killing look.
This is from Al-Sqoor II, i guess.

Those two hard points b/w fuselage and fuel tank just behind the rare landing gears, are making me wonder if it is really a Mirage-5 or Kfir.
Kfir has four extra hard points like mirage 2000-5/9. Can u dig a lil more which mirage Version this is ? because i ve never seen those hardpoints on M5.

There's a Mirage III displayed on the main gate of Fazaya Housing Society on Raiwind Road Lahore with tail # 67-001 i see every day on my way to the office. I believe it's from the retired Migrage III's of the 5th Squadron, can anyone confirm?

Indeed.

The aircraft is a Mirage-5 of the French Air Force, which never operated any Kfirs.

Ya i ve noticed the French marking on Intake but still want to know about those 6th & 7th hardpoints.
Whether PAF Mirages-5 posses this ability or not.

 

[Dazzler]

i do not see any reason why PAF aircraft do not possess this capability. Infact, i have seen a few here in karachi that can be termed as bomb trucks.

Indeed its a bomb truck, there are enough pictures of HEAVY LOADED mirage in this thread that proves it.
but i am concerned about the two hard poitns like Kfir.

i found my answer. Mirage 5 has two additional hard points.. i never knew that.
GREAT GREAT ..

Conceived as a ground attack fighter for operation under VFR conditions and using the same airframe and power plant as the Mirage IIIE, the Mirage 5 was first flown on 19 May 1967. Possessing a redesigned nose which could accommodate an Aida ranging radar, increased fuel capacity and two additional stores hardpoints, the Mirage 5 carried basic armament including two 30mm cannon in an 4000kg weapon capability. http://www.aviastar.org/air/france/dassault_mirage-5.php

Well, i have no idea if our mir is compatible with those additional hard points. Rose Mirages have a better Ring Laser Gyros (RGS) system compared to Mirage 2000 (non dash 5). Mir 2000 has Uliss 52 unit, Rose has Uliss 92 unit with dynamically tuned dry accelerometers common in both. Both use the same UTR-90 mission computers. Rose Mirage has a better ECM suite than

 

[Windjammer]

It must be noted that while the Mirage-5 has a theoretical limit of 8000 Lbs of ordnance, such weight are seldom carried into a battlefield.

Which A2A missile PAF mirage can fire?
