Salty rumors: Pakistan to buy Mirage - 2000 fighter jets from a friendly country

[BON PLAN]

It started becoming difficult to maintain in the 2000s, especially once the production run ended.

LOL. How are the 60 x UAE M2000 and 100 French M200 and greek ones... flying now ?

Fake news about Mirage-2000.

Country is going bankrupt but Army still has black money stashed away.

 

[WaqarAhmed161247]

Agreed. Just look at the deal to buy, not locally manufacture, but outright buy 500 Airbus’ by Air India for $100 Billion.

The country, IMHO, that would probably be the mostly likely buyer of 3-4 Squadrons of Mirages (combined from the UAE and Qatar) is Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has been looking around, and a modest upgrade to these jets would have them match if not exceed Myanmar’s capabilities as well as be interoperable with the Indians.

For Pakistan, if it mends it’s relations with the US to be able to buy even used F-16s it would be better then acquiring a platform it doesn’t have the support infrastructure in place to support. Upgrading and overhauling the current fleet to the Viper standard (or even Turkish equivalent if the V upgrade is not going to get cleared by congress) as well as procuring a few dozen more airframes is what the PAF would probably hope for.

If the PAF was being gifted these planes at friendship prices or in exchange for protecting the World Cup in Qatar, then it’s a completely different story.

really a shrewd idea and executable proposal .

I'm saying it because some months ago,one of these two countries said to us when we asked about their Mirage 2000s,that we are second on the list,because another "fellow Muslim country is first". They didn't say who asked for them first,but I guess it could be Pakistan.

Egypt

This NEWS is b.s - Big Time.

Those Qatari Mirage 2000 are moving on to a (private) French Contractor.

Hi,

Young child---weapons and their usage have nothing to do if you are broke as a person or as a nation---.


All it has to do is to follow the sunnah of Prophet Mohammad---.

Starving though he was on the day of his death---yet there were 8 swords hanging on the wall of his room.

Weapons are jewels for a man who wants to live free---.

Poverty comes & poverty goes---.

Beautifully put.

Hi,

Money is nothing---. We learnt that in the 2000's---when we took bags of them and they told us to " shove it "---.

Make friends---friends help friends in hard times---.

You have to kiss the ar-se of the powerful at one time or another---then why not in a proper---respectful, TACTFUL manner

Indians have taken to buying 2nd hand planes from france to cannibalize for spare parts already.

Just because it was nearly for free, and a political gift from France.
France intend to use its 60 Mirage 2000 D for 12 to 15 more years. How is it possible without spares ?

 

[dilpakistani]

thread kai title mai "Buy" ka lafz zara apni aukat kai bahir nai hai aajkal?

 

[hyperman]

We could use it as a deep strike platform which will not be available after the Mirages are phased out.

"Deep strike" how? what can the Mirage 2000 do that the F-16 can't?

As for some friends, kisses at the cheeks would suffice....
