  MIRAGE F1 (DASSAULT-BREGUET)
Following on the Mirage F-2, which was a revival of the classic arrow-wing design with stabilizers, the Mirage F-1 is a defense and air superiority single-seater plane.
The Mirage F-1 prototype made its maiden flight with René Bigand at the controls, 23rd December 1966, at Melun-Villaroche (the Seine-et-Marne region of France).
The Dassault Mirage F-1C was the standard French fighter before Mirage 2000 entered service in the air force in 1984.

  The Dassault Mirage 2000 & 4000
Primary armaments of the Mirage 2000C in the interceptor role were the Matra "Super 530" medium-range semi-active radar-guided air to air missile (AAM) on the inboard wing pylons and the Matra "Magic" short-range infrared-seeking AAM on the outboard wing pylons.
The UAE Mirage 2000-9s are well-equipped for the strike mission, as they are being provided with the "Shehab" laser targeting pod, a variant of the Thales Damocles pod, and the Nahar navigation pod, complementing the air-to-ground modes of the RDY-2 radar.
Mirage 2000 variants have a bewildering and variable set of designations, with confusion partly caused by the fact that the French use suffixes to designate capability, such as "N" for "Nuclear", rather than place in a sequence.
