Capabilities of PAF Dassault MIRAGE-III/V.

Form follows function. These machines are designed for the purposes of war, and esthetics should not matter at all.

This statement alone shows you don't know jack about aviation!

J/k.

You have no idea how much pilots 'adore' their aircraft by the looks.

There much that I don't know jack about Sir, so that is why I am still learning as a student.

Yes, pilot's affections for their aircraft are well known, but those emotions have no role to play in determining service life of aircraft. Need and money make the decisions.

What part of my post does not meet your standards Sir?

Service life of aircraft is always decided by the need that is fulfilled, and at what cost. Affections of the pilot for their aircraft and esthetics in the eyes of those who are fans have nothing to do with the decision to keep a type in service.

I would have been offended at the comparison to Mr. Gilani, but I do not know just how good is the lassi that he makes. Perhaps you do and it is a secret compliment?

I think PAF has about 50 JF-17s and may be lesser numbers in terms of F-7s.

Mirage being modified with some rare under fuselage Hard points as well:

Can you explain it and does anyone share some more pictures too.

 

[Kompromat]

Whats the big deal about the under fuselage hardpoint?- it already existed.

Got any details on the avionics package running on these? The French radars aren't earth shattering, I mean they are good but not unique but you have to love the MDPU and SPECTRA. Specially liked the Mirage-2000s they kitted out for the UAE with the IMEWS.

The centreline pylon was plumbed to accommodate, Bombs, missiles, fuel tanks or as in this case, special recce pods.

 

[Nishan_101]

If Egypt in the 80s has decided to move towards Mirage-2000 like license production or joining the program then it will be great for PAF to get their 80 Mirage-Vs:

I am sure that this would have been worked as a booster for PAF.

I also have a question why didn't PAF reached out Libya in the first place for Mirage and why a decade late???

 

[acetophenol]

How old are these airframes?
