[Zarvan]

The Pakistan Air Force has raised a new squadron, namely No. 50 ‘Saf Shikan’ tactical attack squadron, and allocated all Mirages in the No. 15 ‘Cobras’ squadron to this new squadron.

The now empty No. 15 multirole squadron is expected to receive J-10C fighters in first quarter 2022.

@Suff Shikan You earned guy.

Mirage III are very old plane. It need to be put out of service soon.

I think all MIRAGES III are already retired. Now we are only using MIRAGE V. They were upgraded recently if I am not wrong.

Even mirage V are very old. I hope they all can be replaced by JF-17 soon.

Weird name for a squadron though, if true. =/

Think they will be replaced by J-10C next year.

Most of your channels yesterday reported Pakistan inducting J-10 C next year. And yes news is true.

PAF next jet after J-10C needs to be 5th generation.

"Tactical" means it'd be for ground attack role and interdiction according to PA's requirements. Like the sabres were used on the Lahore and other fronts? I mean for striking operationally vital obj such as bridges, railway junctions, supply columns and ground attack.

When I posted the same photo and news in the PAF news section this morning, it was deleted, but now everybody is discussing.

Why do you need fighter jets for that job? Ballistic missiles and Cruise missiles can do that at a price much cheaper.

Depends on India's next induction. If India goes for F-18 BLOCK III or F-15 EX. Then we can see some dual engine beast from China.
