The magificent Mirage F1

I’ve been adding up the plane’s combat record, it seems to have had a distinguished career in the hands of its operators:

Iraqi F1’s were reported to shot down at least 2 F-14’s, amongst numerous other kills.

An Iraqi F1’s scored against the USS Stark. I understand this has been the only time since WWII a US combat vessel or any US combat units have been succesfully engaged by an aircraft. (I’m not counting US spy ships, as these are not combat units)

Ecuadorian F1’s shot down a number of Peruvian Su22’s and Dragonfly’s

South African F1’s shot down at least 2 Mig 21’s and a number of lesser aircraft. Although they were later outclassed by the Mig 23’s.

Anybody got anything to add to this?
