Nice to see someone interested in Iraki mirages! Here are some pictures, from Iraqi Mirages in combat. The story of the F1 EQ in Iraq (Miguel Garcia, 2018)

From Fana de l'aviation magazine

I would flag the 2 x R.550 Magic 1 as Optional.

@StanleyDeRolmate please reach out to me on Discord or the forum. :) I have plenty of documents on the Mirage but I couldn't find the time yet to analyze it and post update requests. I would love to share what I have with you, so it can be processed.

Looks like there's some other good stuff in that Iraqi Mirage book too?

These books are packed. They are still on my "to read" pile though, with so many others.
