Capabilities of PAF Dassault MIRAGE-III/V.

[DANGER-ZONE]

Pakistan also developed and tested an indigenous IRST sensor on Mirage 3 fighter. I had a picture of it but lost it some how. Here is a proof of its existence. Although the project was later canceled but it shows that we can integrate one on Thunders without any foreign help. One drawback was that it was a POD mounted sensor and not the internally carried one.

Well it seems the Mirage III DART FLIR system would most probably look something like the one being used in the Chinese latest Q-5 attack variants which have been utilized for LGBs.

Blain or Nabil, can some further information about the DART FLIR be given ?? Some link to read further what the system really is and how it works.

I remember reading a few years ago on pakdef that the stand-off weapon on the Mirage3 requires two aircrafts: one for illuminating the target and the other as a launch platform. This spawns a few questions:

1) Wouldn't using a dual-seat aircraft transfer the guidance task to the WO and free one aircraft for another mission? I guess we have too few 2-seat Mirage5s to implement this.

2) The above info. is confusing, since the stand-off weapon, Raptor/H-2 is TV-guided. You don't need illumination for that do you? You do need two planes or two men however?

3) Couldn't a UAV be put into the loop letting a person on the ground control the TV instead of the WO? Is it a signal range problem?

Danger Zone...............................Amazing addition.........love your post....

My advice do post similar stuff for other planes as well like ThUNDERS, F16s, etc.

Thanks for the appreciation brother but i am just a common man of this lovely country. I have a passion for Pak Military developments and was fortunate enough to had a few insights. But your work in another thread is really admirable !

This is the second time i have gone over the information posted on this topic... its way too much to handle... thanks agian guys... you guys are remarkable and spent so much time to inform people like us on this incredible platform... Thanks for sharing...

One question does remain, if FLIR was successfully tested on Mirage platform, why wasn't it integrated on it. May be i am missing something...

Also, do we have any pics of Matra 530 on Mirage, i have heard these rumours for more than 10 years but have yet to see a single PAF Mirage with it. Whats the accuracy of this missile, is it semi active or firenforget missile..

Thanks

i don't think so our rose are best sut not same as m-2000

 

[Dazzler]

In terms of avionics, radar and weapons, yes they are very much comparable to early Mirage 2000 (non 2000-5) but airframe lacks behind along with flight control and handling characteristics at low speed. Mirage 2000 was a FBW aircraft from the word go.

NOW HERE U CAN COMPARE THEIR AVIONICS AND COCKPIT.
old version of mirage 2000 in terms on cockpit and avionics,is inferior to
PAF Mirage ROSE fleet.well said by Nabil

MIRAGE 2000 old

PAF mirage ROSE cockpits.

this colorful cockpit just took my heart away

 

[Dark Angel]

Mirage 2000 upgrade india

 

[Myth_buster_1]

Mirage 2000 upgrade india

At the moment no IAF mirage-2000 have such glass cockpit.

 

[Storm Force]

Oh my god.

Now PAF Mirage 3/5 Rose upgrade has better cockpit then a 20 year newer Generation Mirage2000.

Thats like saying an Israeli F4 Phantom 2000 of the Israeli air force is superior to the F16 BLOCK C

utter rubbish

 

[Luftwaffe]

Storm Force israel retired F-4s in 2004 6years have past already move on..upgrade your knowledge.
