@Basel - Mirage2k-9s are good till 2030.
You are right but in long term they are not good option as France will not sell us spares due to Rafale deal with India and only handful of M2Ks were sold around the world when compared to F-16s so not easy to get spares like we get for M-3s or M-5s. Also it will not be a easy job to upgrade them as OEM will not be supporting us.
What happens after 2017
JF-17 will become on par of block-52s or even supersede if proper upgrades continues so no need for those M2K9s or old F-16s.
