''The Mirage IIICJ (Shahak) got it's worthiness and respect from many pilots due to the 6 Day-War in 1967 against the surrounding Arab counties. The IAF had carefully accompanied the improvement of the Mirage III. As a personal organization keen to sell its products, Dassault had invited IAF employees to go to its plant and fly the modern plane. With the advent of the [[MiG-21 (Family)|MiG-21]] in Arab inventories, Israel sooner or later set its first order for the Mirage in 1959. While French Mirages had been designed to intercept excessive flying bombers, the Israeli requirement come to be for a tactical fighter-interceptor. Israeli Mirages consequently contained extra gas tanks in preference to the takeoff rocket established in French Mirages, and furthermore contained DEFA cannons. The preliminary order for twenty-four planes came to be widened in 1961 to embody seventy [[Mirage IIICJ]]''

With the reduction in the number of Mirage at the IAF and the arrival of new fighters, such as the first the [[F-4E Phantom II (Israel)|F-4E Phantom II]] and then the F15 Eagle, the Mirage quickly become irrelevant. The aircraft  served the IAF until 1982, until fully retired for good. Later on, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) flew the [[Nesher]], [[Kfir C.7|Kfir]], and later on the F-15 from the US Air Force. Although not in service, the Mirage will forever leave a mark in history as a true legendary fighter.

  • 2 x AIM-9D Sidewinder missiles + 1 x Matra R530 missile
  • 2 x AIM-9D Sidewinder missiles + 1 x Matra R530E missile

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very manoeuvrable
  • Good air-to-air missiles
  • 30 mm DEFA cannons making it deadly in close encounters
  • Self-sealing fuel tanks
  • Lower BR compared to other Mirage variants

Cons:

  • No armour
  • Bleeds airspeed fairly quickly while in a steep high G turn.
  • No countermeasures
  • Limited carried armament

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
