first of all very nicely put by hon. Mastan Khan.
I personally tend to agree that PAF should not miss the opportunity, atleast not for the simple reason that they didn't asked for it.
I don't expect the price to be more than 10 million per plane because other wise not only it makes it unatractive for PAF but it is not worth any more than this a decade or two decade old platform can simply be not at par with JF-17.
In case PAF had the option to go for Mirrages than they can immediately get hands on to at least one squarden and PAF should see it as an opportunity to induct block 2 JF-17 just a little later.
Navy surely be the first benificary but i believe PAF need to establish one extra squarden in Balauchistan specially around Gawadar port.
Money should not be a problem because France need time to build Rafael and UAE will not be retiring those mirrages any time sooner than 2012.
With addition of X UAE mirrages there should be no issues relating to induction as usually which are expected with new plat form.
