The Dassault Mirage III/5/50 is a French single-engine attack fighter with a delta-shaped wing, without a horizontal tail. In late 1955, Dassault began building a unique prototype that retained the delta wing and an enlarged fuselage that could accommodate a SNECMA Atar 101G1 engine. The resulting Mirage III-001 flew on 17 November 1956, reaching a flight speed of 1.52 Ma after just two months. The use of manual cones on fixed side inlets and the Atar 101G2 engine with a thrust increased to 4490 kg, allowed the speed to be increased to 1.65Ma, and then, with the use of the SERP rocket accelerator - to 1.8Ma. To achieve the higher speed, Dassault modified the wing and after the first flight on 12 May 1958, the Mirage IIIA reached a speed of 2.2 Ma with an additional rocket engine. This led to the start of production of the two-seat twin-seat trainer version - the Mirage IIIB and the single-seat interceptor Mirage IIIC. The latter version had an integrated Cyrano AI radar and two 30 mm cannons that could be supported by Matra R.530 or AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. The next major version was the long-range fighter-bomber Mirage IIIE, with the Atar 9C engine built into a slightly extended fuselage. This version was equipped with the Cyrano II radar, which, in combination with the Doppler radar and the TACAN navigation system, allowed to conduct an attack at low altitude without the visibility of the target in all weather conditions. The Mirage III (and its V and 50 derivatives) modification programs include the installation of modern navigation systems, weapons control and adaptation to modern types of weapons. The second area of ​​​​modification is the installation of Atar 9K-50 engines with a thrust greater by 20%, adaptation to central pressurized refueling and refueling during the flight, installation of zero-class catapult seats, improved visibility from the cabin, installation of front control surfaces that increase maneuverability in air combat, adaptation to the transport of containers, e.g. for electronic warfare, laser target designation, reconnaissance or infrared imaging of targets. Technical data (version IIIC): length: 14.77 m, wingspan: 8.22 m, height: 4.25 m, maximum speed: 2.2 Ma, climb rate: 83 m / s, maximum range (with additional tanks): 4000 km, maximum ceiling 17000 m, equipment: fixed - two 30 mm DEFA 552 cannons, suspended (Mirage 5) - up to 4200 kg of load
