Mirages should be retired.

Mirages should be retired.

150+ airframes.... how do you plan on replacing them?
We are doing it but will take 5+ years to replace them along with financing. Most probably replacement will not be 1:1. It will be a combo of 5th gen aircraft + drones like Akinci

The Mirage retrofit factory is an engineering marvel for MRO in military aviation. Lots to learn on quality control and rebuild processes.
