Around 50 in three squadrons.

Unfortunate that is. Should have been retired already.

Unfortunate that is. Should have been retired already.

With current PAF inventory, we shouldn't retire them. It is ideal for young pilots to fly in these squadrons before converting to 4th gen fighters. Without a proper LIFT, many newly graduated pilots will be unable to perform optimally.
