Spare parts once all mirages are phased out

 

[Pakistani Aircraft]

This induction is for spare parts mainly from my understanding of the tweet.

Do you know how this platform performed in last Surprise for India? Let's not just carried away being unaware of situation. In my opinion, addition as such is firstly not going to cost us much & secondly, will add more punch while thirdly serving the concern of being short in numbers. It is like adding more punch to the existing fleet.

And by the way, I am seeing two way traffic in this regard. @Khafee

Mirage V - again?

Yes. Need them for spares as spares don't come cheap from Dassault.

Facepalm

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 has not yet integrated the JF-17 into nuclear and naval strike role. PS, anything short of Mirage-2000 is a waste of resources on so many levels.

 

[The Eagle]

Mirage V - again?

Don't you see it in a way like still better addition adding numbers & parts till we have, JF-17 taking in dedicated role.

 

[Amavous]

Most of them will be used as spares. Mirage V may not be the cutting edge technology but they add good capability and numbers to PAF and numbers are important till we have our own aircraft to fill the gap.

 

[Pakistani Aircraft]

we are waiting to see last mirage of PAF or ye chutiyee dunya bher se kabar ka maal khareed rahy hain . salo jf-17 bana lo 4 new itni takleef hai to .

It is because Pakistan has not inducted enough JF-17s to date that PAF is unable to phase out Mirages any time sooner.

Production of 100 JF-17 Thunders in 12-years is too slow.
