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

[CHI RULES]

Pgs will be gone with the induction of Block 3(I gather they are next on the replacement ladder along with non upgraded M3/5s). It is M3 replacement that is being talked about. We will retain 3(maximally 4 while platforms are being replaced) platforms which should be manageable. Interestingly it reproves my point which I have been trying to say for ages, PAF will only induct one new type of aircraft at a time. The only exception is older platforms that we have infrastructure for.

Sir do all F7s have already been retired or still in active duty as you have mentioned only PGs for retirement.

Besides the 36 Mirage Vs - does PAF also received the rest as Mirage Vs for spares support?

Any possibility of acquiring Egyptian Mirage-2000s?

Design maturity would point to the aircraft doing what it was intended to do reliable, repeatedly without surprises.

The F-16 was designed to augment the F-15 with a smaller radar and daytime operations with dumb bombs - to say it went much beyond that is an understatement.

It all depends upon the PAF’s ASR and those are revised more frequently as compared to ten years ago.

Thank you so much for your response. this statement had always bothered me as I could not understand why he would say something so early in the development cycle of the aircraft. Looking at the F16 the fighter is still being upgraded in spite of being around for more than 40 years
Kind regards

Moore’s law also applies - both the pace of development and complexity of electronIcs is increasing but with the advantage of reducing costs as well.

Yes, a little bit of H, and a little bit of R, and a little bit of B, and they wont agree. I love the Mirage. Spent a lot of time in 8th, but for many here who think we can replace them with JFT, i just have a low oxygen chuckle.

Why not replace them with J-10Cs??

 

[Dil Pakistan]

Close Enough.

What is the current situation with Egyptian Mirage-V HORUS?

When do we seen them in PAF colors?
How many arrived?
How many to be cannibalized?
How many to enter service?

It has that h4 at the top.

The picture tells the capability of PAF Mirage.

What is the current situation with Egyptian Mirage-V HORUS?

Nothing brother.

When do we seen them in PAF colors?

When the time comes.

How many arrived?

No comments or confirmation.

How many to be cannibalized?

Depends upon the condition of those Air-frames.

How many to enter service?

It is said that MRF will further finalize and see if the lot has life to fly. All the flyable will be worked and that is expected with confidence.


The real question is that whether the Egyptian Mirages will make it to PAF or not and so far, there's no further news.

I don't get it. What are these C130s bringing. As far as I know there's no official COVID19 aid coming from Egypt. So these C130s should be bringing EAF Mirage that we were told on this forum "bought". If someone know about this please enlighten me.

I have moved the post so that PAF News & Discussion thread may not be derailed. Please continue.

On topic: Nobody knows whether brought something or picked anything. Either a stop but that doesn't makes sense for almost 4 sorties in a week time, I think. Only flight radar could have been used to confirm their flying pattern and possibility as such.... @Imran Khan you are good at it... (wese kisi kaam k nahi hu) bhai can you shed some light. On a serious note.

Yup. And as usual PAF is silent as well as GOP. There must be something cooking. If it was aid there should be any mention of it by FO or any other official.

these C-130s land for refueling and rest at islamabad and then further they go to china

mostly they go to Beijing Capital - ZBAA, China but some time Dalian - ZYTL, China and Chengdu Shuangliu - ZUUU, China too .its middle of thier 7800km flight and even if they enter china they can not get support because nur khan airbase have full facilities for C-130 so they land at pakistan take rest refuel and inspected before flight by paksitnai C-130s ground crew and then after few hours they have been seen in china .
19/07/2020 CU-CAD was at Beijing Capital

Maybe has something to do with JF-17 or Chinese missiles or something?

so they have to publish in news today egyption c-130 landed we serve them food we refuel c-130 and honeywagons cleaned it and we filled water tanks inspect the planes ? this is not worth as every day many planes land on air bases as good will support .

its perfect spot islamabad is 3900km as air travel from islamabad and C-130H range is 3730km with these extra fuel tanks they can maximum reach china mainland but not beijing or Dalian / chengdu . so they need a point to land before 4000km for further travel 3932km from islamabad to beijing . C-130H can not fly strait cairo to beijing 7800km

so cairo to islamabad 3900km
islamabad to beijieng 3900km

@The Eagle sara maza kharab kara diya ap ne

Maybe has something to do with JF-17 or Chinese missiles or something?

no there is nothing for-jf-17 ITS JUST MIDDLE OF ROUTE STOP OVER on a base which can handle c-130 even if it need to repair or overhaul too . please remember nur khan airbase is the one handle Pakistani c-130s fleet home base logistics repairs and overhauling facilities are there you can do anything with c-130 at that base .every day amercan c-17s and many c-130s land there


sorry i was trolling previous days
