Post; Mirages

Pakistan's Mirages are the older type mainly Mirage III & 50, all upgraded and perform well for the type overall. Really out class by India's Mirage 2000, Su-30 series any model, and even the India A model Fulcrums too. Even the Mig-21/93 has a better radar and can launch AA-12s. These older Mirages aren't as comparable to even the Mirage 2000 as one may think just because their both Mirages, two totally different aircraft. I would assume the RC400 radar would fit into the JF-17 (2) drop tanks and (4) MICA, or maybe for short range go with a six missiles setups. I wonder if they would have been better off designing the jet from the beginning with a French engine plus radar/weapons? Can't think of the Mirage 2000 engine off the top of my head but it was a good solid performer with low maintenance. I can't help feeling that a lot of Viper information was pumped into this project by Pakistan.
