The PAF is set to receive a batch of Egyptian Air Force Mirage-Vs

[ACE OF THE AIR]

I hope i shall see those "newly acquired" second hand mirages built in 1972 get decommissioned in my life.

this is pakistan where we like to maintain vintage things when they become obsolete we improvise and still maintain them. this in common term is call jugar.

 

[Super Falcon]

If you buy 5 su30 at any given time only 2 or 3 will be abke to fly..not enough for major strike you need 40-60

I said buy initaily 5 than build 10 anually to get figure of 34 and its SU 35 not SU 30 SU 35 far better than 10 old mirages

34 are going to cost 3b$. Can you donate that money

 

[Trailer23]

Once they say they dont have budget than they buy this junk

If paf even buy 5 SU 35 far better than these

Look how stupud our thinking is egypt who dont have big threat than us sell them and buy SU 35 and we keep miss using funds on junk

Its proven fact we have money but not a willto get best

Quaide azam said pak must build its airforce second to none

But PAF doing oppsite buying second class jets willingly

Why d

Ontphase them out they dont offer much

Again with the Su-35's... I'm still not sure why some of the guys are obsessed with these machines. But I suppose everyone has their personal preference.

Moving on. Though you have credited these jets as junk, bear in mind that those flying junks were the one that carried the burden during the strikes on the 27th of Feb. It wasn't the F-16's nor the JF-17's.

And coming back to the Su-35's. Do you think its that easy or smart to buy (any) 5-6 jets that have never been in the PAF inventory? Its not like HERTZ placing an order for 5-6 Toyota Camery's. Its not like getting into a car, putting the key in the ignition & driving away. Pilots, Engineers, Technicians need to be trained...for Months. Not to mention the spares and ammunition that needs to be purchased as well.

The PAF currently have 90 Mirage III's 90 Mirage V's. We just get rid of 180 Mirages & in return buy something we have no clue about.

Used F-16's would've made a whole lot more sense, but to acquire those we'd have to go through Uncle Sam & with all the heat that has recently been generated as of late because of the F-16's - i'm not certain if that would've gone down well.

And though, I do share your sentiments that by getting these old jets, we may have gone back a decade - but with tensions rising at the border, i'm not sure the PAF was left with many options based on funds & availability of equipment.

Sometimes you gotta take one for the team. Trust our boys in the sky. They are equally deadly in those beatup ol' jets as any Airforce with modern equipment.

With limited budget, we can not even build 30 block 2 planes per year unless we get huge foreign order.

 

[mingle]

34 are going to cost 3b$. Can you donate that money

Eygpt

34 are going to cost 3b$. Can you donate that money

With 3 billion we can get 36 F16 blk 70. Easy to induct and deadly

 

[syed_yusuf]

Paf has 2 squadron of rose 2and 3 mirage 5
A attachment to CC's of rose 1
A full squadron of rose 1
An ocu mirage with mirage 3el
A naval strike mirage 5

Total of 5 squadron plus CCS

 

[jupiter2007]

I'm interested to know how many would be in condition to fly. Can't hurt PAF to have 10-12 more on the runways.

I am sure majority of them can be upgraded to Rose 3.

 

[SQ8]

Nobody wants to force people to pay tax, keep electing the same thieves and ethnic/sectarian scumbags.. participate in corruption/commission riddled society by saying “thats just how it is” and yet have the guile to say “why did we buy junk?”

Some members don't realize that the number of Mirages they are quoting are actually the original numbers inducted/acquired. They don't factor in decades of flying and attrition losses, air frames grounded out extreme old age and being cannibalized for spares. We have approximately 120 Mirages (all types) in active squadron service. I am not including some two seaters (not all) which are not primarily slotted in combat roles.

Wishing you a long life ahead

RC400


Thales, UK, Defence, Aerospace, Military Missions For more than 50 years, Thales has been at the forefront of the radar technologies for combat aircraft. Capitalizing on this unrivalled experience, Thales has developed the RC 400 for providing a cost-effective solution for light or large combat aircraft modernization.
The RC 400 features all the advanced functions required on a multirole aircraft of the 21st century.
The Air-to-Air function with its advanced automatic mode management reduces pilot workload - search domain management, highest priority targets ranking and sorting - and allows better tactical situation assessment and mission efficiency.
Multiple scanning patterns as well as angular domain and scanning speed are automatically managed by the radar.

Advanced Combat modes with fast and automatic target acquisition and tracking adapted to hard target manoeuvres at short range; high quality of target designation associated to simultaneous multi-tracking and multi-shoot capability.
The Air-to-Surface modes adapted to various missions: Navigation, Surveillance, Target, Acquisition, Very-Low Level penetration.

The reference in its category
• Light weight and multifunction radar
• Modular design
• Adaptable to a wide range of combat aircraft

RC 400 KEY FEATURES

• Modular design
• Light weight: <120 kg
• Low power consumption: 3.5 kVA
• Different antenna sizes available
• High average transmitted power: 400 W
• Up-to-date signal processing technologies
• COTS components for obsolescence protection
• 1553 Bus
• Advanced ECCM features
• Very Low False Alarm Rate
• Flexibility and growth potential
• Efficient BITE and maintenance concept for reduced manpower and life cycle cost

With more than 4.000 radars and as many EW suites installed on-board combat aircraft for more than 40 air forces worldwide, Thales has a strong experience as equipment supplier, partner or prime contractor of combat solutions.

OPERATIONAL BENEFITS

Air-to-air function
• Very long range, all aspect, look-up / look-down detection
• Automatic waveform management and antenna scanning
• Multi-target automatic lock-on and TWS
• Simultaneous multi-target fire control
• Single Target Track
• Combat modes
• IFF interrogator capability

Air-to-ground function
RC 400 provides all the modes required for day and night, all weather operations:
• High Resolution Mapping spotlight SAR (picture)
• Terrain Avoidance (Contour Mapping for Blind Penetration)
• Moving Target Indication and Tracking
• Air-to-Ground Ranging
• Freeze / Silence

Air-to-sea function
RC 400 provides all the modes required for BVR attack of surface ships:
• Long-range detection
• Multi-target TWS
• Target RCS assessment
• STT
• ISAR (option)

Others
• Easy Air-to-Surface modes transitions

Are we actually sure they have the variants with the radar installed?

It's being said.
