PAF had new fighter with rd93, why would it spend money on an old fighter, ROSE upgrade as deemed enough and jet was suppose to be retired by 2020 though delays have pushed that date to 2030 now
there was an option to go big, that is to build a new fighter based upon mirage3 as ground up but that would mean two new fighters instead single one mas produced, wasnt worth it
Also I remember an interview with some PAF chief saying that you can only refurbish an aircraft so many times. I think that may be due to metal fatigue of the body.
HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT a mirage 3/5 to last in a battle with 150 su30mki buzzing around.
the mki pesa radar will pik up that mirage from 140 km away. HE will launch one or 2 BVRs from 90 km away.
THE POOR MIRAGE PILOT radar will not pik up MKI from outside 40km
You will be sending good pilots to their death
Mirages could be repurposed for Air to Ground Role we do have 100 + might as well knock out some ground targets
They do have their own Air to Air ammunition
