Yes if indeed PAF is Selling Mirages in the future I would Most Definitely wish to Invest in One, Jap f4's are going 3mil a piece (flying condition).

The Lebanese Mirages 3ELs are the youngest in the fleet with barely 20 years of service. There were flown for just a few hundred hours before going into storage and would be ideal candidates for a ROSE upgrade similar to the Aussie Mirage 3Os

Pvt companies often put up their logos after repainting/renovating chowks even though they didnt build them. You can see the stand of the aircraft was painted recently while aircraft isn't.

Current Indo-Pak War Theater - Available PAF Aerial War Efforts

Except F-7, all fighter aircraft held in PAF inventory can strike air/ground/sea target(s) located more than 1000 km inside the enemy territory.

F-7s will be used only as Fighter Interceptors performing as last defence stand along with the SAMs to protect the important installations, ECM/EW/AEW&C and command and control air/sea/ground platforms inside Pakistani airspace.

Mirages III/V will be used only as deep strike platforms, loaded with Ra'ad CM, Anti-Ship missiles, AGMs and H-2/H-4 SOW etc

JF-17 and F-16 will be used as multi-role platforms to counter, curtail and neutralize enemy air/ground/sea threat.

PAF future possible actions to enhance the aerial war efforts in the coming years.

JF-17 Block I will replace F-7 and used as fighter interceptors. (>50 aircraft)

JF-17 Block II will replace Mirages III/V and used as deep strike platforms. (>60 aircraft)

JF-17 Block III and F-16 will continue to perform as multi-role platforms. (>50 JF-17 Block III; >76 F-16 by 2024)

Another 200+ JF-17 Block II/III should be produced by the end of 2030 to fill the shortage of around 250+ aircraft due retiring – F-7s by 2024 and Mirages III/V by 2030. For this PAC has to increase the production capacity to 25+ aircraft per year.

Furthermore PAC Kamra should also divert some of its precious resources to design and produce 4++ generation, semi-stealth, twin engine medium weight multi-role fighter using JF-17 DNA and RD-93 engines by the end of 2030.

Meanwhile, PAF should seek transfer of technology from Russia, China and Turkey to manufacture RD-93 engine locally.
