Not sure. It is missing the distinct delta wing configuration of the Mirage.
I do know that the Russians did an upgrade for the French...this could be the new model. It looks something like the Mirage 2000D.
What does: Bad visibility for the pilot, a shoddy radar, high wing loading, analog instruments (Steam gauges), a small HUD with poor information display........ equal? A Mirage F1.
But all that matters is cool videos and pictures in blogs and chat rooms; and to the 16 year old pimple face expert will be drooling. In that respect I must say the Russians, flying their cobra (worthless maneuver) and jumping tanks at every trade show trying to peddle their crap are hands down first rate.
Have you seen this?
