Pakistan Mirage 5 crashes during training

James Hardy Asia-Pacific Editor - London

A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pilot died when his Dassault Mirage 5 fighter aircraft crashed during a training sortie in Balochistan Province on 19 October, officials said.

The PAF's about 80-strong Mirage 5 fleet is a mixture of 5F, 5PA, 5PA2, 5PA3 and 5DR variants, the latter of which is a reconnaissance platform. In 2004 it bought 40 Libyan Air Force Mirages for use as spares for its existing fleet of aircraft.

The PAF is phasing out its Mirage fleet and replacing it with JF-17 Thunder multirole fighters, which Pakistan is co-producing with China.

its very sad to hear that a newly built plane crashed. So the Chinese product once again proved how reliable and quality oriented these are.... I just heard an announcement being made from Mosque that if someone has any info regarding this crash then do contact local authorities.. this shows they are feared of any attempt made from ground which might have brought down the plane...

its very sad to hear that a newly built plane crashed. So the Chinese product once again proved how reliable and quality oriented these are.... .

So just from one crash you guessed the reliability of whole Chinese fighters. Some "expert" we have here. Sp Amrican, European and Russian aircrafts are cr@p too sine they also crash. What other options have we left now.

Crashes happen buddy. Stop giving stupid comments over it. By the way still no confirm news that it was JFT.
