OPIT your usual rambling to wage discontent is as much a cheap bargain as this is.
63 Mirage F1, dont 7 F1B et 56 en version CT/CR. Parmi ces appareils, entre 40 et 45 appareils vont être remis en état de vol, tandis que le restant, une vingtaine, seront cannibalisés pour utiliser les pièces de rechange.

Sur ce stock de Mirage F1, la moitié est classée en catégorie RSD1 (retiré du service). Il s’agit d’appareils qui peuvent reprendre quasi immédiatement les airs, conservés dans un environnement adapté et encore sous la responsabilité des états-majors et de la DGA. La seconde moitié est classée RSD2. Ils sont gérés par la SIMMAD, ils peuvent être cannibalisés et du travail est demandé pour leur refaire reprendre les airs.

Of this stock of Mirage F1, half is categorized as RSD1 (just retired of service). These are planes that can almost immediately be returned to flight having been kept in a suitable environment and are still under the responsibility of the DGA. The second half is categorized as RSD2. They are managed by the SIMMAD service, they can be cannibalized and some work is required to make them flyable again.
With 9000h being planned by ATAK per year (flying half their fleet), you have a significant flight tempo* that won’t shy against what the F1 have seen during their OP life in France
But thank you for the SE sale. I had forgotten it and would add this to the list.
