The Dassault Mirage F.1 is a French single-engine multi-role fighter with a high half-body wing structure, slotted wings and lapels with a classic tail fin. The Mirage F.1 became the successor to the successful Mirage III / V series. The first prototype flew on December 23, 1966. It set a number of records - 2.12 million years at an altitude of 11,000 meters and 1,300 km/h at low altitudes. The Mirage F.1 required strips from 500 to 800 meters long to operate. The new aircraft had the same dimensions and lifting surface as the Mirage III, but due to the use of built-in tanks, it took 40% more fuel. The F.1 aircraft was characterized by the minimum time required for take-off. This was made possible by simplifying operation and allowing the transport of all necessary ground equipment by air. The recovery time between operations was 15 minutes. Thanks to the onboard power supply and high-pressure refueling system, refueling time was only 6 minutes. The Thomson-CSF Cyrano IV radar had an 80% greater range than the Cyrano II of the MirageIII. When the pilot manually selected a target, the radar automatically followed it. Several major versions of the Mirage F.1 were produced, including the F.1C, a classic fighter version adapted for attacking ground targets, introduced into service in 1969. The next version, the F.1B, was used as a two-seater training aircraft (delivered from 1980). Also of interest was the Mirage F.1CT, an attack aircraft, the prototype of which appeared in 1991. A total of about 770 copies of all versions were produced. It was exported to many countries, including Iraq, South Africa, Greece, Spain and Morocco. Technical data (version F.1C): length: 15.23 m, wingspan: 8.4 m, height: 4.5 m, maximum speed: 2.2 knots, climb rate: 213 m/s, maximum range (with outboard tanks): 3300 km, maximum ceiling 2000 m, armament: fixed - two 30 mm DEFA 553 cannons, outboard - up to 4000 kg of cargo.
