Mirage-V Rose-III

Can it be a Mirage-VPA of Squadron 15 operating out of Rafqui?
Athara Hazari (where the plane crashed) is only around 50 km from the base.

Do you think Mirages can fight good in a war?

Do you think Mirages can fight good in a war?

It depends on many variables.

In a war presumably against India.

You would expect the mirage pilot to carry out strike missions both cas and stand off weapons.

In a air combat role both long range cap and air supremacy over paf airspace I think the airframe and engine will be fatigued against better more modern Indian fighters like su30.MIRAGE2009.AND MIG29SMT AND K.

War is like a game of cards and you don't show your cards before time.

That's the problem with PAF, they don't show off. But personally, I'm not convinced.

Only if military experts were created on internet, you would be COA.

The only new capabilities of Mirage which we can see these days is CRASHING. Time to ground them, scrap them & replace them with J10B which PAF dropped. In my opinion PAF committed a blunder by not going for J10B, looks like PAF is having some over smart people which they need to get rid of.

Fortunately machines in Pakistan don't get impressed or lose heart and get fatigued against "more Modern" machines. but if this happens in india, then you better take care of your migs, jags, and some more

PAF is in process of equipping Mirages with Southafrican origin air-refueling probe, which shall improve endurance of these aircraft.

Bhai, how khwar are you?

Can we please have a Mirage ROSE ground strike formation (MAR-1 ARMs) with JF-17s (PL5 and SD10 with KG300 jammer) as escorts?

Takes me around 10 minutes to do so.. and I get to fly the thing in the process... "testing" out the kit. So no khwari at all.

and sure
