Looks like PAF has no plans to retire Mirages sometime in near future.
Some of these Mirages will be upgraded in MRF which will certainly take time and then these planes will stay in service for at least the next couple of years.
From the financial point of view and the success of 27th Feb strikes, this move makes perfect sense but given the evolving environment in the region and especially the modernization of IAF, isn't it a step in a backward direction?
What are PAF's plans to phase out Mirages with JFTs or any other platforms?
