Interesting photo, very rare to see the PAF mirages using the two rear fuselage hardpoints. Any more photos like this?

Before copy pasting everything posted by armchair analysts on Twitter,kindly do a bit of research.

This is an Ex-Libyan Mirage VDR and the blue markings have got nothing to do with it being a reconnaissance Mirage. Just like all the other Mirage V's in Paf,it's having the standard two tone paint scheme.

Also the reconnaissance role has now been taken over by DB.110 equipped F.16's.

PAF Mirage IIIRP from No. 5 Sqn #Falcons equipped with two RPK-10 supersonic drop tanks which are in turn armed with what seem to be Mk-117 bombs (4 on each tank). 67-201 was PAF's first Mirage IIIRP inducted in 1968 and saw action in 1971.

PAF unfortunately did not also get the "Australian developed" underbelly centre-line bomb racks with them ... they would have been a nice capability upgrade.

Any info on these Aussie bomb racks?
Thx

"FAREWELL HAIDERS"
"FAREWELL MIRAGE V PA2/3"

No.8 Tactical Attack Sqn of PAF known as "Haiders" has been number plated by AHQ.
Number-plating is an official process that involves keeping a unit alive on paper, while posting all its men out to other units. The unit may be resurrected at a later date, with new aircraft.
The unit had rich legacy of wartime achievements and is one of the most decorated Sqn of PAF. It operated versions of Mirage-V modified for Maritime Ops & integrated with famous Exocet Missile.
I had an amazing time spent with DELTAS OF HAIDERS, already missing them. Best of luck to all the Haiders Personnel for their new role in PAF.

[Path-Finder]

can these Mirages be used as a bomb truck and as a BVR truck? they are still a able to fly so why not put them to use where they can deliver.

 

[Waiting]

We may need these in the month of February march.... who knows.
