@Windjammer your views please

what would you like to hear. A somewhat forty year old single engine aircraft, served PAF well and now at the end of it's shelf life.
Main thing is the pilot ejected safely,

Pakistan must eliminated their worst planes Mirages and F-7PG in their inventories.

Too many crashes from old farts jets.

You are the first to troll whenever any IAF's plane crashes , but in threads like these you are no where to be seen so...................

Somiani which province ?

Somiani Beach is over an hour drive from Karachi in Lasbela, Balochistan. It is a popular day beach and picnic area for people of Karachi. The Pakistan Air Force base Masroor is nearly half way between Karachi and Somiani beach probably the Mirage was on training exercise from that base.

And one can see you are adding some valuable contribution in the thread.
Care to elaborate, apart from say posting the news, how else did i hurt your tiny ego.....here some one had already posted the incident.....what else remains to be said.

Our best bet for now to replace these Mirages are Old F-16s

May be we can contact bankrupt Greece if they would like to sell 15 F-16 C/D Block 52 to us.

Till when are we going to use these F***** Flying Coffins????

3-4 crashes each year, this is getting beyond ridiculous!

How many Mirage-III and V are in service with the P.A.F. at present??And if they are to be replaced which aircraft is going to replace them in the near future??

Tnx

It make sense that theses Mirages operate near Coast coZ if i am not wrong these are dedicated to Maritime Strike Role

 

[rockstar08]

I guess after few more Crashes , the pilots should refuse to fly those junks ...

I believe there are at least six Mirage squadrons operational including the Mirage OCU.
The number is well over a hundred. The first mirage squadron No.5 has already been replaced with Block-52 F-16s.
The remainder are in line to be replaced with either JF-17s or any F-16s that PAF may acquire.
