French Mirage aircraft's are pretty old and obsolete and should be replaced with the latest and more modern aircraft's by PAF.

Very poor Indian education system. To teach you, Mirage fighters are French. Remember that.

We can laugh as it was shot down by us and denied by India until they saw their hero made zero, walk back to their country without plane.

It is the sons of in-service or retired servicemen who are given preference in admissions in
flight academies mostly un-deserving and the resulting loss of aircrafts intermittently.
Does anyone has the count of number of aircrafts lost by PAF in seventy years?

This is alarming. Are we maintaining our fighter planes properly. These crashes need to be properly investigated.
We are proud of our pilots and their skills and must ensure that our planes are fit for service.
