PAF's bombing at Taliban stronghold

Post by 3hs4n1 »

Hey guys...I was browsing through Youtube and found this video about PAF's aircraft bombing the Taliban stronghold. In the end, you can see the aircraft somewhat like F-16. Is it really F-16 or some other plane? Thanks.
Here is the video:

A very brief look at the Delta shaped wings of plane in the video make me conclude that it is Mirage 3. Some of the Pakistani Mirages in recent years were upgraded with ROSE project configs. Hence making them specifically dedicated for Ground Attack role much like the USAF Wild Wiesel squadrons.

PAF usually use Mirages for Ground attack role.
