text The Dassault Mirage F.1 is a French fighter and attack aircraft that was designed and built by Dassault Aviation in the 1960s and 1970s. It was a successor to the popular Mirage III family, but with a swept wing instead of a delta wing. The Mirage F.1 was capable of performing both interception and ground attack missions, with a high speed, long range and low landing speed. The Mirage F.1 was equipped with a single SNECMA Atar 9K-50 turbojet engine, which provided about 70 kN of thrust with afterburner.
Den hadde også en Thomson-CSF Cyrano IV radar, to 30 mm DEFA-kanoner og syv hardpoints for ulike våpen, inkludert luft-til-luft missiler, bomber, raketter og pods. Mirage F.1 ble eksportert til flere land, inkludert Irak, Iran, Libya, Spania og Sør-Afrika. Den så kamphandlinger i mange konflikter, som Iran-Irak-krigen, Gulfkrigen, den sørafrikanske grensekrigen og den libyske borgerkrigen. Mirage F.1 ble pensjonert fra det franske flyvåpenet i 2014, men noen er fortsatt i tjeneste med andre operatører eller brukt som aggressorfly av private entreprenører.
