single/dual-seat, single-engine, <a href="/wiki/Fighter_aircraft" title="Fighter aircraft">fighter aircraft</a> developed and manufactured by French aircraft company <a href="/wiki/Dassault_Aviation" title="Dassault Aviation">Dassault Aviation</a>. It was the first Western European combat aircraft to exceed <a href="/wiki/Mach_number" title="Mach number">Mach 2</a> in horizontal flight,<a href="#cite_note-Mirage_III-1">[1]</a> which it achieved on 24 October 1958.<a href="#cite_note-:0-2">[2]</a> In 1952, the French government issued its specification, calling for a <a href="/wiki/Light_fighter" title="Light fighter">lightweight</a>, all-weather <a href="/wiki/Interceptor_aircraft" title="Interceptor aircraft">interceptor</a>. Amongst the respondents were Dassault with their design, initially known as the Mirage I. Following favourable flight testing held over the course of 1954, in which speeds of up to Mach 1.6 were attained, it was decided that a larger follow-on aircraft would be required to bear the necessary equipment and payloads. An enlarged Mirage II proposal was considered, as well as MD 610 Cavalier (3 versions),<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> but was discarded in favour of a further-developed design, powered by the newly developed <a href="/wiki/Snecma_Atar" title="Snecma Atar">Snecma Atar</a> afterburning <a href="/wiki/Turbojet" title="Turbojet">turbojet</a> engine, designated as the Mirage III. In October 1960, the first major production model, designated as the Mirage IIIC, performed its <a href="/wiki/Maiden_flight" title="Maiden flight">maiden flight</a>. Initial operational deliveries of this model commenced in July 1961; a total of 95 Mirage IIICs were obtained by the <a href="/wiki/French_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="French Air Force">French Air Force</a> (Armée de l'Air, AdA). The Mirage IIIC was rapidly followed by numerous other variants. The Mirage III was produced in large numbers for both the <a href="/wiki/French_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="French Air Force">French Air Force</a> and a wide number of export customers. Prominent overseas operators of the fighter included <a href="/wiki/Argentina" title="Argentina">Argentina</a>, <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a>, <a href="/wiki/South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a>, as well as a number of <a href="/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement" title="Non-Aligned Movement">non-aligned</a> nations. Often considered to be a <a href="/wiki/Second-generation_jet_fighter" class="mw-redirect" title="Second-generation jet fighter">second-generation</a> fighter aircraft, the Mirage III experienced a lengthy service life with several of these operators; for some time, the type remained a fairly maneuverable aircraft and an effective opponent when engaged in close-range <a href="/wiki/Dogfight" title="Dogfight">dogfighting</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Duchateau-4">[4]</a> During its service with the French Air Force, the Mirage III was normally armed with assorted <a href="/wiki/Air-to-ground_weaponry" title="Air-to-ground weaponry">air-to-ground ordnance</a> or <a href="/wiki/R.550_Magic" title="R.550 Magic">R.550 Magic</a> <a href="/wiki/Air-to-air_missile" title="Air-to-air missile">air-to-air missiles</a>. Its design proved to be relatively versatile, allowing the fighter model to be readily adapted to serve in a variety of roles, including <a href="/wiki/Trainer_(aircraft)" class="mw-redirect" title="Trainer (aircraft)">trainer</a>, <a href="/wiki/Reconnaissance" title="Reconnaissance">reconnaissance</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ground-attack" class="mw-redirect" title="Ground-attack">ground-attack</a> versions, along with several more extensive derivatives of the aircraft, including the <a href="/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_5" title="Dassault Mirage 5">Dassault Mirage 5</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_IIIV" title="Dassault Mirage IIIV">Dassault Mirage IIIV</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atlas_Cheetah" title="Atlas Cheetah">Atlas Cheetah</a>.<a href="#cite_note-The_Hamlyn_Guide_to_Military_Aircraft_Markings-5">[5]</a> Some operators have undertaken extensive modification and upgrade programmes, such as <a href="/wiki/Project_ROSE" title="Project ROSE">Project ROSE</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Pakistan_Air_Force" title="Pakistan Air Force">Pakistan Air Force</a>. The Mirage III has been used in active combat roles in multiple conflicts by a number of operators. The <a href="/wiki/Israeli_Air_Force" title="Israeli Air Force">Israeli Air Force</a> was perhaps the most prolific operator of the fighter outside of France itself; Israel deployed their Mirage IIIs in both the <a href="/wiki/Six-Day_War" title="Six-Day War">Six-Day War</a>, where it was used as both an <a href="/wiki/Air_superiority_fighter" title="Air superiority fighter">air superiority</a> and <a href="/wiki/Strike_aircraft" class="mw-redirect" title="Strike aircraft">strike aircraft</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War" title="Yom Kippur War">Yom Kippur War</a>, during which it was used exclusively in air-to-air combat in conjunction with the <a href="/wiki/IAI_Nesher" title="IAI Nesher">IAI Nesher</a>, an Israeli-built derivative of the Mirage 5. <a href="/wiki/List_of_aces_of_aces" title="List of aces of aces">Ace of aces</a> <a href="/wiki/Giora_Epstein" title="Giora Epstein">Giora Epstein</a> achieved all of his kills flying either the Mirage III or the Nesher.

Their ability to function as long-range strike aircraft was dramatically hindered by the type's lack of any <a href="/wiki/Aerial_refueling" title="Aerial refueling">aerial refueling</a> capability; even when furnished with a pair of 2,000-litre (550-gallon) drop tanks to carry extra fuel, the Mirages (and Israeli-built <a href="/wiki/IAI_Dagger" class="mw-redirect" title="IAI Dagger">Daggers</a>) would be forced to fly up to the absolute limit of their range in order to even reach the British fleet from the mainland. Normally, the fighters would be sent to engage patrolling British <a href="/wiki/British_Aerospace_Sea_Harrier" title="British Aerospace Sea Harrier">Harrier jets</a> and to provide air cover to a <a href="/wiki/Douglas_A-4_Skyhawk" title="Douglas A-4 Skyhawk">Douglas A-4 Skyhawk</a> strike force; however, they would have no more than five minutes at most over the combat area before having to embark upon the return flight back to their <a href="/wiki/Aerodrome" title="Aerodrome">airfields</a>.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> Usually, Argentine Mirages were flown with an armament consisting of one <a href="/wiki/Matra_R530" class="mw-redirect" title="Matra R530">Matra R530</a> or a pair of <a href="/wiki/R550_Magic" class="mw-redirect" title="R550 Magic">Magic 1</a> AAMs. They only entered direct combat once, resulting in one of the Mirages being shot down by an <a href="/wiki/AIM-9_Sidewinder" title="AIM-9 Sidewinder">AIM-9L Sidewinder</a> fired by a Harrier, and another destroyed by <a href="/wiki/Friendly_fire" title="Friendly fire">friendly fire</a> after attempting to land on the runway at <a href="/wiki/Stanley,_Falkland_Islands" title="Stanley, Falkland Islands">Port Stanley</a> when nearly out of fuel. The fighters were frequently deployed to conduct diversion flights, flying at a very high altitude to force a response from the patrolling British Harriers to improve the chances of survival and success of the attack force. Additionally, a number of Mirages were also kept on a high state of alert against possible <a href="/wiki/Avro_Vulcan" title="Avro Vulcan">Avro Vulcan</a> raids upon targets within the Argentine mainland, as well as to serve as a deterrence against aggressive flights by neighbouring <a href="/wiki/Chile" title="Chile">Chile</a> conducted upon Argentina's western border.<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Variants">Variants</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Dassault_Mirage_III&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Variants">edit</a>]</div> <dl><dt>M.D.550 Mystère-Delta</dt> <dd>Single-seat delta-wing interceptor-fighter prototype, fitted with a delta vertical tail surface, equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear, powered by two 7.35 kN (1,650 lbf) thrust M.D.30 (<a href="/wiki/Armstrong_Siddeley_Viper" title="Armstrong Siddeley Viper">Armstrong Siddeley Viper</a>) turbojet engines; one built.<a href="#cite_note-WAPJ14_p120-13">[13]</a></dd> <dt>Mirage I</dt> <dd>Revised first prototype, fitted with a swept vertical tail surface, powered by two reheated M.D.30R turbojet engines, 9.61 kN (2,160 lbf), also fitted with a 15 kN (3,400 lbf) thrust <a href="/w/index.php?title=SEPR_66&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="SEPR 66 (page does not exist)">SEPR 66</a> rocket booster.<a href="#cite_note-WAPJ14_p120-13">[13]</a></dd> <dt>Mirage II</dt> <dd>Single-seat delta-wing interceptor-fighter prototype, larger version of the Mirage I, powered by two Turbomeca Gabizo turbojet engines; one abandoned incomplete.<a href="#cite_note-WAPJ14_p120-13">[13]</a></dd> <dt>Mirage III-001</dt> <dd>Prototype, initially powered by a 44.12 kN (9,920 lbf) thrust Atar 101G1 turbojet engine, later refitted with 43.15 kN (9,700 lbf) Atar 101G-2 and also fitted with a <a href="/w/index.php?title=SEPR_66&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="SEPR 66 (page does not exist)">SEPR 66</a> auxiliary rocket motor; one built.<a href="#cite_note-WAPJ14_p120-13">[13]</a></dd> <dt>Mirage IIIA</dt> <dd>Pre-production aircraft, with a lengthened, area ruled fuselage and powered by a 42.8 kN (9,600 lbf) dry and 58.84 kN (13,230 lbf) with reheat Atar 9B turbojet engine, also with provision for 13.34 kN (3,000 lbf) <a href="/wiki/SEPR_84" title="SEPR 84">SEPR 84</a> auxiliary rocket motor.

The main feature of the Milan was a pair of pop-out foreplanes in the nose, which were referred to as "moustaches". The moustaches were intended to provide better take-off performance and low-speed control for the attack role. The three initial prototypes were converted from existing Mirage fighters; one of these prototypes was nicknamed "<a href="/wiki/Asterix" title="Asterix">Asterix</a>", after the internationally popular French cartoon character, a tough little Gallic warrior with a huge moustache.<a href="#cite_note-prof_178-111">[111]</a> A fully equipped prototype rebuilt from a Mirage IIIR flew in May 1970, and was powered by the uprated 70.6 kN (15,900 lbf) afterburning thrust <a href="/wiki/SNECMA_Atar_09K-50" class="mw-redirect" title="SNECMA Atar 09K-50">SNECMA Atar 09K-50</a> engine, following the evaluation of an earlier model of this new series on the one-off Mirage IIIC2. The Milan also had updated avionics, including a laser designator and rangefinder in the nose. A second fully equipped prototype was produced for Swiss evaluation as the Milan S. The canards did provide significant handling benefits, but they had drawbacks. They blocked the pilot's forward view to an extent, and set up turbulence in the engine intakes. The Milan concept was abandoned in 1972, while work continued on achieving the same goals with canards.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mirage_IIING">Mirage IIING</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Dassault_Mirage_III&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Mirage IIING">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dassault_Mirage_IIING,_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Dassault_Mirage_IIING%2C_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg/220px-Dassault_Mirage_IIING%2C_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Dassault_Mirage_IIING%2C_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg/330px-Dassault_Mirage_IIING%2C_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Dassault_Mirage_IIING%2C_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg/440px-Dassault_Mirage_IIING%2C_France_-_Air_Force_AN1242270.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="678" /></a><figcaption>Mirage IIING</figcaption></figure> Following the development of the Mirage 50, Dassault had experimented with yet another derivative of the original Mirage series, named the Mirage IIING (Nouvelle Génération, new generation). Like the Milan and Mirage 50, the IIING was powered by the Atar 9K-50 engine. The prototype, a conversion of a Mirage IIIR, flew on 21 December 1982.<a href="#cite_note-WAPJ15_p104-112">[112]</a> The Mirage IIING had a modified delta wing with leading-edge root extensions, plus a pair of fixed canards fitted above and behind the air intakes. The aircraft's avionics were completely modernized, making use of the parallel development effort underway for the next-generation <a href="/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_2000" title="Dassault Mirage 2000">Mirage 2000</a> fighter. Chiefly amongst these changes, the Mirage IIING used a <a href="/wiki/Fly-by-wire" title="Fly-by-wire">fly-by-wire</a> system to allow control over the aircraft's <a href="/wiki/Relaxed_stability" title="Relaxed stability">relaxed stability</a>.

A variety of radars could be fitted, including the Cyrano IV and Agave and these could be supplemented by a laser rangefinder.

After 1989, enhancements derived from the Mirage IIING were incorporated into Brazilian Mirage IIIEs, as well as into four ex-Armée de l'Air Mirage IIIEs that were transferred to Brazil in 1988. In 1989, Dassault offered a similar upgrade refit of ex-AdA Mirage IIIEs under the designation Mirage IIIEX, featuring canards, a fixed <a href="/wiki/In-flight_refueling" class="mw-redirect" title="In-flight refueling">in-flight refueling</a> probe, a longer nose, new avionics, and other refinements.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Balzac_/_Mirage_IIIV">Balzac / Mirage IIIV</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Dassault_Mirage_III&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Balzac / Mirage IIIV">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_IIIV" title="Dassault Mirage IIIV">Dassault Mirage IIIV</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dassault_Balzac_V" title="Dassault Balzac V">Dassault Balzac V</a></div> One of the offshoots of the Mirage III/5/50 fighter family tree was the Mirage IIIV vertical take-off and landing (<a href="/wiki/VTOL" title="VTOL">VTOL</a>) fighter.
