From the close up of the IFR seems like a Mirage 2000. PAF Mirages have IFRs on the side of canopy this one has it in front of canopy Mirage-2000 style. Picture doesnt seem PAF.

You are spot on it definitely is Mirage 2000.

Can PAC convert FT-5, F-6s, F-7s, A-5Cs and Mirages along with other small turpo props into Target drones??? That can go to hit the target like Cruise missiles???

Also same for the old helicopters.

The capability is there, the will to perform such a ridiculous task is not.

So what you're saying is that, in a way, the RD93 is to a GE or a P&W Engined what an AK-47 is to an M-16 - Simple & Robust if not the Best of the Best ! :unsure:
PAF Air Commodore Mahmood Khalid said they flew one for 7000 hours

I think PAF should look towards:
150 JF-17s
150 F-16s Block-15 MLU-3
18+ F-16s Block-52+

Only.

Also retire all of the Mirage, F-7s, F-6, FT-5, A-5Cs and other training aicraft too.

These aircraft can be converted into Drones for targeting in enemy area.

Provided the Avionics and Missiles can be continuously improved , the planes offer good air support
