             Dassault Mirage-III/V

             Page 1 | Page 2

Zarrars formation:
A five ship formation of No.27 Sqn Mirage-VEF and Mirage-VDD aircraft flying over Indus river. Navigationa and Attack System (NAS), Forward Looking Infra-red (FLIR) sensors and Night Visions Goggles (NVG) allow No.27 Sqn Mirages to perform both day and night missions with equal percision.

Bandits at sea:
A No.7 Sqn Mirage-IIIEA formation flying over Arabin sea. No.7 Tactical Attack Sqn also conducts pre-CCS courses for Mirage-III aircraft.

Combat School's Mirage :
A Combat Commanders School's Mirage-IIIEA during a training flight. CCS received ROSE-I upgraded Mirages in 2003. The unit is tasked with advance tactical flying to sharpen the skills of pilots who are proficient in Mirage aircraft.

Mirages and sun:
A Mirage formation  flying through golden skies of a fading day. Even after 44 years of service, Mirages are still considered a reliable

 and combat ready platform in PAF.

Mirage firing sidewinder  :
A No.7 Sqn 'Bandits' Mirage firing Aim-9L sidewinder  missile. No.7 Sqn operates Ex-RAAF ROSE-I Mirage-III aircraft.

Over past few years unit has participated in various multinational exercises which include Exercise Falcon Talon(2005 and 2009),

Al-Saqoor-I(2006), Bright star(2009 ), Falcon Air meet (2010) etc.

Night Strike Eagles in flight :
A No.25 Sqn 'Night strike eagles' Mirage formation during a training mission. The unit operates ROSE-III upgraded Mirage-V aircraft.

Some dual seat examples equipped with Forward looking infra-red (FLIR) are also part of unit's  inventory.

Thirsty Mirages :
A No.27 Sqn 'Zarrars' Mirage prepares to refuel from Il-78 tanker, whereas other two aircraft from No.7 Sqn 'Bandits'  wait for their turn.

Eagles Break! :
A ROSE Upgrade Mirage-VEF  formation from Jacobabad based No.25 Sqn 'Night Strike Eagles' splitting their flight paths during a training sortie. The unit received  Mirage-VEF aircraft in Sep 1998 under the Blue Flash-VI programme, all aircraft were later upgraded to

 ROSE-III at Mirage Repair Factory (MRF), PAC Kamra.

Mirages and Sun:
A two ship formation of  No.22 OCU  Mirages during an evening patrol. PAF acquired 70 Ex-Lebanese  Mirages, only 10 were put into service the rest are turning out to be a good source of repairs.

See an Example of Roll out ceremony of  roll-out  ceremony of ex-Lebanese Mirage-III aircraft at MRF, PAC Kamra

Mirage and Tanker :
A Mirage-III aircraft flying along IL-78 Midas aircraft. Air to Air refueling is an art and requires too much training.

Mirage-III at Karakorum:
A Mirage-IIIDP from No.22 OCU flying over the mighty Karakorum Range. The unit received 6 of the type along with 11 Mirage-VEF in 2001. Three years later Mirage-VEF were sent to PAC for ROSE upgraded and unit was allotted ex-Lebanese Mirage-IIIEE/EL aircraft, which are still flying in the unit.

Ra'ad launch:
An Ex-Libyan Mirage-VDD firing Ra'ad cruise missile at the target. Ra'ad is designed to attack fixed enemy installations at stand-off range, keeping the launching aircraft away from enemy air defence systems.

Mirages and sunset:
No.5 Sqn Mirages  formation flying over Shorkot. The unit operated Mirages from 1968-June 2010 in both tactical attack and reconnaissance role, flying multiple variants of Mirage-III/V aircraft which include Mirage-III EA/DA/EP/RP and Mirage-VDR.

and Ra'ad Cruise missile makes PAF Mirages even more deadly.
