F-103 Mirage IIIEBR Brazilian Air Force (refuelling probe)


F-103 Mirage IIIEBR Brazilian Air Force (refuelling probe)

 

Install - Need Update July 2012, DLC Mirage IIIO and DLC Mirage IIIEL

 

The F-103 Mirage IIIEBR represented a tremendous leap to the Brazilian Air Force, being over thirty years of service and more than 65,000 flying hours.

 

The versions of Mirage III acquired by FAB were developed primarily for air defense missions, but keep some capacity to act as platforms for ground attack.

 

The engine was a SNECMA ATAR 09C, whose maximum thrust with afterburning reached 13,900 pounds (6305 kg), leading the aircraft a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 (2,350 km / h).

 

The fire control system was based on radar Thomson-CSF Cyrano II, which originally operated the integrated air-to-air missile infrared Matra R530, later replaced by Israeli missile Python III.

 

As arms fixed, the aircraft was equipped with two 30 mm DEFA. For navigation, the Mirage III FAB type Doppler systems used. In the early '90s, the FAB joined the Squadron's missions Jaguar air-ground attack, starting to use free-fall bombs and rocket launchers.

 

Upgrading the F-103

 

In 1989 all F-103s entered a limited upgrade program. The upgrade consisted of the installation of canards and some minor mechanical and structural modifications. In 1991/1992 one F-103E (FAB 4929) received a refuelling probe installation and on April 22, 1992, the aircraft made its first refuelling contact with a KC-130H of the 1º/1º GT. The modified F-103 flew until 1993 but was then retired and the program to install refuelling probes on all Mirage fleet was cancelled.(The number FAB-4928, FAB-4930 and FAB-4931 are fictitious!)

 

(Portuguese)__________________________________________________________________________________

O F-103 Mirage IIIEBR representou um tremendo salto para a Força Aérea Brasileira, ficando mais de trinta anos de serviço e voando mais de 65.000 horas.

 

Os Mirage III das versões adquiridas pela FAB foram desenvolvidas primariamente para missões de defesa aérea, embora mantivessem alguma capacidade de atuar como plataformas de ataque ao solo.

 

O motor era um SNECMA ATAR 09C, cujo empuxo máximo com pós-combustão alcançava 13.900 libras (6.305 kg), levando a aeronave a velocidade máxima de Mach 2,2 (2.350 km/h).

 

O sistema de controle de fogo era baseado no radar Thomson-CSF Cyrano II, que originalmente operava integrado ao míssil ar-ar infra-vermelho Matra R530, depois substituído pelo míssil israelense Python III.

 

Como armamento fixo, a aeronave era dotada de dois canhões DEFA de 30 mm. Para navegação, os Mirage III da FAB utilizavam sistemas tipo Doppler. No inícios dos anos 90, a FAB incorporou ao Esquadrão Jaguar as missões de ataque ar-solo, passando a utilizar bombas de queda livre e lançadores de foguetes.

 

Atualizando o F-103

 

Em 1989, todos os F-103 entrou em um programa de atualização limitado. O melhoramento consiste na instalação de canards e algumas modificações mecânicas e estruturais menores. Em 1991/1992 um F-103E (FAB 4929), recebeu uma instalação de sonda de reabastecimento e, em 22 de abril de 1992, a aeronave fez o seu primeiro contato com um reabastecimento KC-130H do 1 º / 1 º GT. A modificação F-103 voaram até 1993, mas foi então aposentado e o programa para instalar sondas de reabastecimento em toda frota de Mirage foi cancelado. (Os número FAB-4928, FAB-4930 e FAB-4931 são fictícios !)

      In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
      F1EE_Early specifics:
      no R550, AIM-9 SideWinder instead R530 and S530F capability but S530F not used by EdA at this time CLB4, no CLB8 Seat Mk4 Inertial Navigation System Sagem UNI43 RWR BF AAR probe AN/ALE-40 Chaffs Flares dispenser (actually introduced after delivery, in ~mid 1980s) Syrel ELINT pod capability Covered units :

      Mirage F1CR F5/6 standard
      When it became clear that the Mirage F1 was becoming a successful production aircraft, Dassault began investigating the possibility of a dedicated reconnaissance version for its most important client, the French Air Force. However, the escalating cost of fighter aircraft meant that add-on pods for this purpose were a more economical alternative. Many French Air Force aircraft, as well as those of some export clients (such as Iraq's Mirage F1EQ), did indeed have a variety of reconnaissance pods available, which were attached to the underside of the main fuselage. However, the development of a tactical reconnaissance aircraft for the French Air Force continued, and the first Mirage F1CR flew on 20 November 1981.
