Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 18th April, 2019) International journalist Alan Warne has revealed that the Pakistan Air Force is soon going to get Egyptian Air Force Mirage Vs.

This was revealed when Warne interviewed the PAF Chief Mujahid Anwar Khan at Air Head Quarters Islamabad on Wednesday.

They talked about a lot of things, including some of the events on Feb 27, JF-17 Block 3, next generation fighter aircraft etc.

About the Mirage 5 deal, the journalist, associated with Asian Military Review, said that the deal had been under negotiation for a couple of years.

“The PAF is set to receive a batch of Egyptian Air Force Mirage Vs over the coming months.

It’s a deal that has been under negotiation for a couple of years now. But has now been sealed. The bulk will be used to support current fleet but we could see some becoming operational too,” he wrote.

Egypt had offered Pakistan 30 Mirage V Horus aircrafts to supplement PAF’s existing fleet of Mirages.

These Horus Mirages were recently upgraded by Egypt in 2008. The upgrades include RC400 radar, HMD, mission pods, MAWS, night strike capability etc.
