Mirage F1AZ

Mirage F1AZ (1975-1991)

This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.

Single-seat strike and multi-role fighter. It is a simplified attack version with extra fuel in place of radar and some other all-weather avionics.
The South African Air Force recognized the advantages of a simplified version of the Mirafe F1CZ for day visual attack missions. The resulting Dassault-Breguet Mirage F1AZ
is visually distinguished by having a slender conical nose, resulting from removal of the large Cyrano IVM radar. In its place is the ESD Aïda II ranging radar and a
laser-ranger, with a large instrument boom housing the pitot/static heads attached on the underside of the nose.  The main avionics racking is moved from behind the cockpit
to the nose, making room for an extra fuselage tank. Other additions are a Doppler radar and a retractable refueling probe. South Africa received 32 aircraft for service with
No. 1 Sqn.

The aircraft were withdrawn from service in 1997.


Covered unit :

  • N°1 Squadron Early Camo.
  • N°1 Squadron Experimental Camo.

This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.

Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.

Enjoy

The Mirage F-1 Team.

Hello

 

I have a question about CME :

Which type of pod did the F1AZ typically carried ?

Did it carry internal chaffs and flares ?

I think those were installed in 1988.

 

Because in Baxter's book (SAAF in Border War) there are some images of F1AZ firing flares ...

 

Thank you in advance

During the Border War, Mirage F-1AZ used ELT-555 ECM pods.

 

About chaffs and flares, may be the Az received the same upgrade than the CZ, but I'm not sure.

They stuffed a few chaff packs into the airbrakes ( i think the latest version of the data inis should have that, a one-time dump of 4x chaff )

The RIMS update was ongoing during the end of the border war, but most aircraft received it post-war.

Thank you

Yes, the RIMS update came too late, but it is likely that they fit decoys in the parachute fairings, as did the French for most of their Mirages, though there is no confirmation

I think that a few aircraft received the special fins on the fuselage underside with integrated flare launchers, replacing the standard fins.

So a partial RIMS fitment to counter the IR SAM threat.

No modification to the brake parachute housing.

The photo in the book shows a fully RIMS-updated F1AZ (1988+), you can see the mountings for the pods on the 0-station.

Version 2.7 has been uploaded.

We choose to make a specific early version (1975-1991).

The late version will follow.

      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force seized 24 F1BQs and F1EQs flown over from Iraq, during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. As of December 2021, 12 Mirage F1EQs and 5 Mirage F1BQs were in service.
      This mod is not 100% accurate, Iran used all the EQ versions but for more simplicity we decided to use only one version, the EQ-5, to cover all the IRIAF aircrafts.
      There is not a lot of informations about the Iranian Mirage, so we did our best to make a realistic aircraft.
      Based on Iraqi F1EQ-5 v4.0.1 mod with the following changes:
      all the original Iraqi weapons and pods have been disabled as Iran did not get any of those P7 and sidewinder compatibility added (instead of R550) F5 tanks (underwings stations only) instead of original F1 RP35 US bombs and rockets. Another data.ini version is provided for russians bombs and rockets use instead of US. Covered unit :
      102sd TFS

      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      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_ALR specifics:
      Same as EE_Late except:
      - RWR AN/ALR-300 installed instead of RWR BF - 6 aircraft were modified
