[Rahil khan]

Squadron Leader Tanvir Ahmed has embraced Shahadah. إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ Man i can't take such news any more....These Mirages will continue to fall outa our skies along with our price less pilots...!!! We need to replace these old cold war era's flying junks God Dam it....!!!

God bless the pilots, wish them quick recovery.

People don't judge aircraft or pilot without full news. I am sure these people know well when retire the jets and pilots must have tried their best to save it from crash.

 

[Rahil khan]

IT IS TIME TO MOTHBALL THOSE OLDER MIRAGES. This is not acceptable.


RIP to the pilot, bless his soul

Imagine these airframes flying for another 6 or 7 years, with ten or more crashing with our pilots....how long we can take such news...!!!

Yes dear but paf is one of the most patriotic and least corrupt organisation. These people due to lack of funds have such every ounce of life from these jets. We don't know because there is no detail but i think Pakistan mirage are not in such a mess to be phased out.

former Air Marshal R. Suleman is on record stating that they need to be retired.....lives have been lost

its a formidable aircraft that has served the nation with pride.....I grew up seeing these aircrafts in action. Their service life is finished. Most are old and have reached the end of their utility.

the fleet should be grounded...pilot life is WAY too precious

 

[Donatello]

If it was from Masroor, it was most probably a ROSE Mirage.....night strike eagles? Since it was on a night mission?

 

[A.Rafay]

RIP to the pilot. Very sad incident.

 

[Basel]

Very Sad news if true.

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

PAF now have to find quick solution to replace aging Mirages fast as they are crashing regularly and putting precious pilots life in danger, if PAF can get used F-16s or even M2K9s in relatively low price then they should buy them at least they will be much safer to fly and will add more capability then these Mirages.

No, it wasn't a mirage but a K-8 training aircraft.
If I'm not wrong, this is the first crash of the type in over 20 years of service.
