''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]]''

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Modifications and economy

Armaments

Offensive armament

The Shahak is armed with:

  • 2 x 30 mm DEFA 552A cannons, belly-mounted (125 rpg = 250 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: SAMP Type 25 (250 kg), SAMP Type 21 (400 kg)
Main articles: AIM-9D Sidewinder, Matra R530, Matra R530E, Shafrir 2

The Shahak can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 2 x Shafrir 2 missiles
  • 2 x 250 kg SAMP Type 25 bombs (500 kg total)
  • 2 x 400 kg SAMP Type 21 bombs (800 kg total)
  • 2 x Shafrir 2 missiles + 2 x 250 kg SAMP Type 25 bombs (500 kg total)
  • 2 x Shafrir 2 missiles + 2 x 400 kg SAMP Type 21 bombs (800 kg total)
  • 1 x Matra R530 missile

  • 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.
