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.

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:

• Good manoeuvrability once suspended armament is disposed of
• Has two pilots, which decreases the risk of losing the aircraft if a pilot is knocked out
• Healthy amount of countermeasures
• Wide variety of air-to-ground loadout options, including laser-guided bombs
• Access to very effective Matra R550 Magic 1 air-to-air missiles

Cons:

• Top speed and acceleration are mediocre
• Poor energy retention, bleeds quite a lot of speed in turns
• Performance is significantly crippled while carrying big bombload
• Has neither radar nor radar warning receiver

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
