I think this latest development is not a goal in itself but a mean to get something further. PAF is looking to integrate Eastern weapons with Western fighter usually, it used to be a other way around. Chinese platform would get a European avionics/weapon package PGs is a prime example. For JF-17, a similar thing was envisioned in the form of RC-400+MICA combo... but this latest trend tells vividly that things have changed. PAF has far more confident on Chinese platforms than it used to have in the past. Now coming back to SD-10 integration on Mirage... Things will be clear in coming months but since I read this news I, for some odd reasons, cannot get this pic from my mind from the latest edition of Zuhai airshow. There is a clear possibility that things will move towards more Chinese weapons on Mirages.
