Disappointing if true.

I don't see how this platform has any relevancy at now. Even India has retired their variants of these.

It serves no use at all, not for DACT or even point defence in the age of long range SAMs. Just sending good pilots to their deaths if we use these in war

There is a part of me that wants this news to be wrong, and another part of me wondering the intent of the news if true.

If the "intent" is to develop a homegrown AESA radar, new large MFD cockpits, Pakistani mission computers and EW, and make the F7PG platform into a Link-17 node(with offboard targeting / CEC engagement capabilities) as part of "developing/testing/deploying" a Pakistani developed mission computer and systems - then I can just about get onboard with it simply as a technology development deployment project. A F7PG with Faaz BVR missile (or SD-10/PL15E) in CEC mode is a military capability increase(though I am not sure if the platform can accommodate all that in terms of new avionics and equipment).

If the intent is to simply refurbish and carry on flying, then there is no value and they should be retired.

Exactly the opposite.

Its value lay in low-cost flying hour, keeping a pilot hands warm.

Upgrading fancy stuff is meaningless.
 
I think they should rename it as Afghan slayers. They should be fitted with thermonuclear weapons and for specific use against afghans only. Civilians should also be trained to drop bombs on Afghans. Let the carnage begin 🤣
 
I cant seem to find the purpose of such a mordernization when objectively speaking the mirage is a better platform and we thought putting aesa and sd10 on it was a waste of time. These now serve as little more than glorified LIFT artificially keeping aircraft strength high

F-7 served as well and now they should be given well deserved rest and they be moved to the museums.
