Egyptian Armed Forces

How can it be "willful" when it was without the approval of the French govt.?
"By 1968, Dassault had finished production of the 50 Mirage 5Js paid for by Israel, but an arms embargo imposed upon Israel by the French government in 1967 prevented deliveries from taking place. The Israelis replied by producing an unlicensed copy of the Mirage 5, the Nesher, with technical specifications for both the airframe and the engine obtained by Israeli spies. Some sources claim Israel received 50 Mirage 5s in crates from French air force (AdA), while the AdA took over the 50 aircraft originally intended for Israel"

ANd yes Dasault family was faced with those allegation back in the day.

PS: Dassault head (serge) is always under investigation in a lot of corruption cases since few decades

Israel got always what they wanted from France. Remember the nuke technology and first reactor in Negev-Dimona with technology from France. Then the SAAR 3 FAC's " blocked" in Cherbourg and escaped by Operation Noa. I agree to say France delivered willingly.

We have never got any technology from anyone about nukes. We had the formula, but also the money to build a reactor, which we purchased from France.

Technical Data

Armament
The rockets launcher system is mounted at the rear of a 6x6 truck chassis with three tubes in two lines. The six--round launcher is mounted at the rear of the chassis with an elevation range. Manual controls are also provided. In firing position, four stabilizers are lowered to the ground hydraulically to provide a more suitable firing platform. One of these is mounted either side to the immediate rear of the cab with the other two stabilizers mounted at the very rear of the chassis. The system can operate up to a maximum height of 3,500 m above sea level and in ambient temperatures from -40 to +55ºC and with a relative humidity of up to 75per cent (at 15ºC). The rockets are fired from containers.
Rockets
The 400 mm guided rocket of WS-2 MLRS has a simple inertial guidance system, but can also use indigenous satellite navigation system for mid-course guidance. There is also a capability to use terminal guidance for further increase of accuracy. Firing accuracy is <3% (CEP) at a maximum range. The firing range of the rocket is from 70 to 200 km. The rocket can be equipped with various range of warheads as blast fragmentation, incendiary blast fragmentation, fuel air explosive and anti-personnel & armor-piercing dual-purpose. In 2008, it was revealed that sub-munitions are developed for WS-2, including a specialized anti-radar version, which is a rocket containing three UAVs. The WS-2 rocket is 7.3 m long, a weight of 1 280 kg and a warhead of 200 kg. Rockets can be launched in single or salvo modes with a firing interval of around 6 sec.
Mobility
The WS-2 MLRS is based on the Chinese TAS-5450A truck chassis. The TAS5450A 8x8 25-tons truck offers good cross country mobility. The truck is motorized with an air-cooled diesel engine. The WS-2 TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) vehicle is usually supported by reloading vehicle, which is fitted with a crane and carries reload containers with rockets. The WS-2 truck can run at a maximum road speed of 80 km with a maximum cruising range of 800 km.
Combat use
Typical configuration for one MLRS WS-2 battery is as follows:
- 1 command vehicle
- 6 Transporter erector launcher vehicles.
- 6 or 9 loading and transportation vehicles
The WS-2 is mainly used to make a destructive attack on the enemy's area targets in depth, such as military bases, airports, mass fleet, hub of communication, political and economic centers, industry facilities and other important military area targets.
