I understand the problem was with systems integration (new electronics) not the helicopter itself.
BTW: IIRC the Aussie SeaSprites were new-build.
NZ likes theirs….

kiwis were new build, not the australians

Saudi ADV´s are grey, only the IDS are in a brown scheme.

No.
The question is whether the AIM-9 family, could use the full spectrum of available modes.
For example, are you aware if the Sidewinder can be slaved on the F1’s radar;

Yeah, perfectly for more than 30 years. CLAEX works fine.

PS
Swerve, as I wrote, the AIM-9 were operational on the Hellenic F1CG too.
But were never FULLY integrated. Some functions dont work! (IIRC the missile cannot be slaved on the radar)
I have no info on the Spanish F1s, but I bet it is the same!

Spanish air force never operated a single Magic missile, both in the Mirage IIIEE and the Mirage F-1CE/EE fleet, always operated with Sidewinder missiles.

Canada’s too and Spain uses their Hornet fleet for air defence aswell.
A/A Hornets are nothing special.

Is quite usual, now with the EF-2000 the EF-18´s units are more air to ground units with Taurus missiles and all that.

Fourth part of Rafale news and 0 exports. If they could export a single plane, what´s going to happen? eighteen parts more?

Spain never operated any kind of NF-5, our planes designation is SF-5, made under licence in Spain, now are SF-5M upgraded both cell and electronic equipment.

“The modernised F1Ms will remain in service for about seven years as an interim solution until Argentina selects a new fighter. The F1Ms will be equipped to launch AM-39 Exocet anti-ship missiles and AIM-9M Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.”

Ok, the F-1M operates and could operate Sidewinders, no problem, but at least for now, Exocet isn´t a option for that planes, no way. This guy really knows something about this Mirages?

The first one is EC-120 and second is BK-117.

No, that´s an EC-145
