-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' started being developed in 1968 after the Swiss Air Force presented its interest in acquiring a modified Mirage III with more manoeuvrability and specialized in tactical support. Thus, the Milan was built, with the Mirage III as a basis but with the weapon systems of the Jaguar. The biggest improvement came in the form of retractable whiskers located on the nose of the aircraft, which reduced takeoff distance and provided more lift. The Milan took its maiden flight on May 29, 1970, however, in 1972, the Swiss Air Force decided to upgrade its Hunters and instead buy the Northrop F-5.

-Introduced in [[Update "Danger Zone"]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a capable multirole fighter for its BR, thanks mainly to its sizable payload for ground attacks and its powerful engine, as well as having access to a ballistics computer for bombs and rockets, is why is commonly used as a strike aircraft rather than a fighter in War Thunder. The Milan does suffer from a few issues compared to the Mirage IIIC/E or Mirage 5F, lacking access to the Matra Magic 1 or R530 missile, as well as lacking countermeasures. For air-to-air combat, it is more important than ever to stay fast and launch AIM-9B Sidewinders only at unsuspecting enemies from distances below 2 km, since the missile does not have a very long range.
