Now, PAF being PAF I won't be surprised if they have some "interesting" plans with them too....Fellows, spares for Mirages III and V have all but stopped. Pakistan has no choice but to make deals like these. Again, as some members including myself have mentioned several times here, Mirages are for a very different and dedicated role and they are a must. Although these Mirages are more than 50 years old machines, there is nothing in IAF inventory or PAFs that can match the acceleration/speed of these Mirages at 2.2 Mach, and Higher if the aircraft is descending from 30,000 ft. speeding. The jets go in for quick, deep strikes, and return. This is exactly what happened on 27 Feb.
When the OEM shuts down a production/support ops for a product you're "free" to do what you like with it...
