I don't know if they ever carried retarded bombs as the plane was devised as an interceptor. Technically if they can carry slick bombs they can carry retarded bombs, because other than testing for possible separation issues the interface is the same, but I don't know that the Mirage III was ever used in that way.

On the 1967 6 days war Israel used the Mirage III Shahak as bombers (Moked op.)

You select the weapon, and using your RWR (TEWS or SF1 now, doesn't work with with audio only RWRs), you point the aircraft so it aligns with the dot (if with TEWS, the icon on the RWR), and fire at it. It's quite literally a point and shoot weapon.
