F-7MP is a further upgraded variant of F-7P with improved cockpit layout and navigation system. PAF ordered 60 F-7MPs during the late 80s, then later took delivery of another 80 aircraft. It was reported that subsequently all F-7Ps were upgraded to MP standard. Both F-7P and F-7MP are generally referred to as F-7P since the external difference is minimum. The most noticeable feature of F-7MP is the BM/KJ-8602 RWR antennas on top of the vertical tail. In the mid-90s PAF planned to replace the GEC-Marconi GMAv Skyranger ranging radar with the more powerful FIAR Grifo 7 multi-mode fire-control radar, but the work was postponed until early 2004 due to certain technical and financial difficulties. It was reported that Grifo-7 was later replaced by the further improved Grifo-MK-II which can track 4 targets simultaneously and engage 1.

F-7PG and Mirage Rose are a Alternative Options

The planes would be wonderful for City Patrol / and guarding Strategic Assets
Together with proper Ground Defence SAM

^^^F-7 PG (190) ^^Mirage (190)^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^Trainer K-8 (20-30)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Even the weakest of our fighters are equiped with Good Air-Air missiles and that makes our jets very lethal "BIRD"

It would be much better for PAF to take license in mid 70s for production of Mirages like production of 110 Mirage IIIs with 30 Dual seat version of this one as multi role interceptor:

And another 110 for Production of Mirage Vs with 30 dual seat version of it as a multi role strike/naval strike platform:

F-16 could act as a force multiplier for PAF
 
I somehow like Mirage V's role in PAF. It is known as an 'Attack Aircraft'. Its advantage that nor F-16, J-10, JF-17, F-7PG has is its Mach Speed of about Mach 2.2. While our air force is now in position to just 'Defend', it will be great to use these Mirages if we get a chance to attack Indian air bases before they fly. The faster the speed the easier the job for us.

I think we should keep a couple of squadrons and keep upgrading them. Both Israel and South Africa have transformed their's to new models known as 'Kifirs' and 'Cheetah'

Cheetah: (South Africa)

I think it was quite possible for the PAF in 1980s to produce these type of Mirages at PAC with French help for about 210 along 30-50 dual seats of such type and with another 21-30 examples of reconnaissance version for reconnaissance and intelligence purposes then I am sure the PAC would look different from what is now and what it was before.

Although if PAF had also tried to co-produce 100F-7P/30FT-7Ps with Chinese like if they have gone for the Mirages. They can modify these jets with the similar avionics like on Mirages and may be engine if French had allowed us to assembled engine at PAC engine facility.
