What about the pilot? Was he able to eject in time?
According to the official statement released by PAF the pilot of the aircraft ejected safely which crashed during routine operational training mission.

They have a few(4?) dozen -7PG left. The FC1 is probably going to replace them but I assume the Mirage 3/5 will be retired and replaced first.
And funnily enough these new build F7s entered the PAF fleet in 2002, the same time that the VayuSena started getting the Su30 MKIs. We have over 230 of these in service with half a dozen losses and the PAF have roughly as many F7 PG losses(if not more) with a fleet of less than 100!

This is the Fighter China 1 "Shitty Dragon".

Their own 'flying coffins' . By wiki sources some 60 F-7 are in service which might be less than the quoted number due to recent crashes. All F-7P variants are replaced by Jf-17 thunder and 60 F-7PG remain in service. They are only for CAS and strike roles and will be acting as cannon fodder for some of our obsolete air defence systems in case of conflict :bounce::bounce::shoot:

They will be taken out by the real deal:

This picture says it all. One wrong judgement by the pilot is all it takes at those speeds. We had a similar accident involving a Mirage in the 1980s. RIP pilot.
I think it was an engine issue, there was a flare-out a minute before the power loss.

Dutch "Apache" sat down after a collision with the power line (like crashed into a lightning rod, the district was de-energized, dunce).

Usually it ends more sadly. The authorities think, but do not start a business with "lucky ones."
