@Dazzler, @airomerix and @Hodor .
Any news of whatis/happening with the Mirages, what sort of upgrading will these veterans be getting. Will it mean radical replacements like radar changes and engine upgrades or is it just someone has thrown a bone to the market to get a decent deal for the super Mushaqs.
Help appreciated.

The sooner we put them to rest, the better. Somehow, i dont see that happening for a few years.

Upgrades to the avionics and cockpit instruments for better situational awareness for the pilots as well as getting networked into the AWACS and other platforms for a complete AD picture. Much more important than any engine upgrade, which is not gonna happen anyways since we have the ability to maintain the engines at Kamra and years or expertise overhauling those engines.
Also, bar a few PA3, other Mirages dont have radars anyways but instead have FLIR and additional fuel. Those Mirages will benefit the most from any upgrade that brings them from analog to a digital cockpit.

I dont think they are going to upgrading the engines, only plausible thing to do would be to upgrade the avionics and as Griffin pointed our better connectivity with Awacs...

Additional fuel but where?
Also only the aircraft bought during the 70's alongside the few Libyan and Lebanese ones are left with analog cockpits.

Mirage 5 is slightly longer than the 3 and thus carries more internal fuel.
Yes none of the Mirages bar the Mirage 3s from Australia and the Mirage 5s from France are updated with ROSE, though some of the two seaters seem to have gone through some sort of an update.

IIIDPs went thru ROSE 1 upgrades except, obviously, the radar.

Mirages are too old to justify any major upgrade. PAF is more keen to work on replacement options.
