The Mirage F-1 wasn't that good of a design. The airframe was structurally weak in certain places, the avionics package was a joke, the armament capability was laughable, and the designer was French. France then went to the true delta-wing design with the Mirage III/V and Mirage 2000, which gave a really good first turns, but lost their energy drastically after that. France did step it up with avionics and armament for the Rafale, but it hasn't been produced in large enough numbers to be effective.

I see a thumbs down did you work on the Mirage 111 i did i spent 28 years in the Royal Australian Air Force
i also spent 9 years in the RAF before and I had worked on Lancaster's wellingtons Spitfires Hurricanes Mustangs English electric lightnings Victors Vulcan's Valiant Argosy's Canberra's and about another 30 RAF aircraft and arrived on 77 sqn RAAF mirage sqn and my first thaught was what a piece of rubbish the Radar was a failure it did not have pressure refuelling it had virtually no electronics we had to replace the wings to keep them in the Air the Air Macchi was better but only a trainer i was on the last Mirage Squadron in 1986 and we went to the FA18 and in terms of technology and reliability WW1 WW2

we also had the F4 Phantom and should have got rid of the Mirage in 1973 and one of my favourite Aircraft is the F111 Aardvark now there is an aircraft

I worked on the Mirage 111 and apart from a 600 Knot Climbing capability was rubbish copied the Hunter and its gun pack but only 2 X 30 mm Defa Guns where 4 was better and its Matra Missile sticks and stone will brake my bones ????

remember the Israelis had them and built their own but when they got the Phantom they ordered More and never upgraded the Mirage

it did come Good with retro fit Magic Missile we went from Mirage 111 to FA18 difference name something for its age better

Look at who the designer is.. France

It was made before the F-16. Actually the F-16 is a newer plane then the F-15 sadly
