It was purchased to replace the Mirage IIIR and became operational in 1983. The Mirage F1CR remained in service until 2014. The Mirage F1CR uses internal equipment and external pods to perform aerial reconnaissance tasks. It has a wingspan of 8.4 meters (27 feet 7 inches) and a length of 15.3 meters (50 feet 2). The Mirage F1 can carry a combined payload of 13,889 pounds of bombs and missiles. The Mirage F1 was originally used as the French Air Force's main interceptor, but later transitioned to the reconnaissance and attack roles. The Mirage F1 has been exported to many countries, including South Africa, Spain, Greece, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Ecuador, Iraq, Jordan, and Qatar. The South African Air Force nicknamed the Mirage F1 "Vlamgat", which translates to "flaming hole" in Afrikaans. The Mirage F1CR carries reconnaissance equipment, internally and externally: A SAT SCM2400 Super Cyclone infrared linescan unit is installed in the space previously occupied by the port cannon. A space under the nose can be used for a Thomson-TRT 40 panoramic camera or a Thomson-TRT 33 vertical camera. The Cyrano IVM-R radar has extra ground- and contour-mapping modules. A variety of sensors can be carried in external pods carried under the fuselage centreline. These include the Raphaël TH Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR), the ASTAC ELINT pod and the RP35P optical reconnaissance pod. A total of 64 Mirage F1CRs were ordered by the French Air Force.
