Correct. Atlas was experimenting with one of the RD engines on F1s and the test bed is still flying now 20+yrs later. F1s are and were a much more potent fighter than the M3/5. Dont forget we were flying with helmet mounted sights on these babies in late 70's onwards mated to Kukris.

Mirage F1s were somewhat feared from what I can recall back in the day.

Mated with Russian engines and other goodies that you know about.....

Oh well.

Whats done is done.

Hi,

The Paf was enraptured by the power of the F16 engine---and that is what they directed all their attention towards---power---power---power till the Paf hit the brick wall in the form and shape of the jF17---.

No engine available---then the one that became available was supposedly under powered---the RD93---that was a very hard pill to swallow for the Paf---.

That is where they had to change their thinking and approach towards flying and combat training---and to their surprise---they found out that it really was not that important to have a massively powerful engine---there were other factors that could provide air superiority as well.

We all learn---.

Please have a rational thought process. Don’t BS, take your meds or move to the old people home paid for by my taxes in California

You should have paid attention to what I wrote before on another thread to you. Your behavior is disruptive and degrades the quality of the forum. And your replies are immature and devoid of meaningful content. Ad hominems do not add anything.

Sir US allowed the integration?

Does that mean if PAF wants it can integrate Aim missile onto jf 17 also ??
