Yr we already want to retire them. Ab phr lerahe ho
But there were news that we were in talks about Mirage 2000s from Qatar and UAE, I mean Mirage 5 and 3 are very old aircrafts, how long will we continue with them?

Not to forget our financial situation as well as that Mirage-2000 window was closed long ago. In fact, UAE upgraded them for their own use & even if we had gone for that class; would cost us more. I see that PAF decided to not to buy instead, invest more in JF-17 while obtain Mirage-Vs like these from Egypt to keep up our Mirage-Vs in the Air till last moment with load of spare in store without any worry.Should had gone for Mirage 2000s
We can buy them for spare parts. But not for operationLet's say we retire nearly 200 Mirages from the PAF today or this year, what is PAF going to replace them with today or this year?
The JF-17 Thunder is just not available in big numbers with the PAF at the moment.
Look at this matter in this way. Economic situation is not good at present, and it is not cheap to replace every [old] aircraft in the inventory of PAF in a short span.At one end we are trying to retire Mirage V fleet, on the other we are getting used ones from the third party. Indeed, Facepalm. I guess PAF not yet integrated into its nuclear and naval strike role. PS, anything short of Mirage-2000 is a waste of resources on so many levels.
