The first batch of new zero-zero capable[further explanation needed] Martin-Baker ejection seats was delivered to PAF Base Masroor on 1 July 1991, and within 2 months the A-5C fleet began flying again.

[citation needed] It was later decided to reequip the Bandits with Dassault Mirage IIIO fighters procured from Australia in 1991.

[citation needed] In 1997 the unit received the ex-Australian Mirage IIIO fighters, which had been upgraded under Project ROSE.

These ROSE I fighters had been installed with new avionics, including FIAR Grifo M3 radar, which allowed the squadron's role to be changed from tactical attack to multi-role.

Air-to-ground weapons delivery and other exercises were conducted, and the squadron was deployed over Balochistan for air defence prior to Pakistan's nuclear tests in 1998.

The Bandits compete in the bombing competition at Falcon Air Meet 2010 in Jordan.

Two 500 lb bombs are loaded on a Mirage III and a direct hit is achieved on the target.

The squadron competes in the Alert Scramble competition and a Bandit flies in formation with other participants at Falcon Air Meet 2010, Azraq, Jordan.
