Description

Entering service in 1961, the Dassault Mirage III was France's highly successful delta wing fighter and was used by 20 countries worldwide.

The Mirage was improved continuously with many versions and upgrades, and saw combat in the Middle East, South America, India/Pakistan, North Africa, and South Africa.

The Mirage was armed with 2 x 30mm cannon, and 3 or 5 hard points for drop tanks, bombs, and missiles including the Matra R.530, and 550 and AIM9s.

This example is a Mirage IIICJ of 101 Squadron Israeli Defence Force circa 1970.

Yes, quite a good picture. Israel for the longest time, until IAI was formed, relied on France, the U.S and Britain for the longest time for their aircraft and vehicles.
