At the beginning of 2022, the United States has just claimed that their serious plane crashes have decreased a lot compared to previous years, but as soon as the words were spoken, the United States broke the news of fighter jets crashing one after another. Among them, a special fighter jet crashed in the United States for the first time this year. Not to mention that the speed of this face-slap is a bit fast , but what is interesting is that the United States quickly denied it. What people denied was not the plane crash, but the fighter jet. It is said that this good-looking fighter jet is not the configuration of the US Air Force. It belongs to a private contractor, so it does not belong to the US military , nor to its country of origin, France. This beautiful fighter jet is the "Phantom" F1. Today, let's take a look at what is so special about this unique fighter jet. When it comes to the "Phantom" F1 family, there is a lot of background. In the "Phantom" fighter family, there are many models that only stay on the design drawings, and there are some models that only produce a prototype and stop abruptly. Mass production is generally those fighter jets that have been repeatedly tempered and have their own unique advantages, and the "Phantom" F1 is fortunate to be mass-produced. Naturally, it has its own unique characteristics because the "Phantom" F1 uses a conventional swept wing and flat tail design, so This makes it an alternative in the Mirage family. After all, the standard structural layout of the Mirage family fighter is that the delta wing does not have a flat tail . Of course, it is also because of the different existence of the "Phantom" F1, which makes it very different from other Mirage fighters and successfully solved it. This unique advantage finally made it knock on the door of more countries . Under what circumstances was such a plane born? We have to go back to the 1960s of the last century. Go and find out. At that time , the "Phantom" 3 was still a generation of famous aircraft in the field of fighter jets, but everything has two sides. The seemingly glamorous "Phantom" 3 's approach speed is worrying , so the French Air Force began to think about how Replace it. After a series of R&D and cost comparisons, Dassault decided to develop a small fighter jet . The embryo of the "Phantom" F1 at the end of 1965 was successfully bred in Dassault. Compared with the previous generation "Phantom" 3 "Phantom" F1 The main advantages are as follows: The first "Phantom" F1 is equipped with an Atta 9k 50 plus thrust, which reaches 70.6 kN, which directly makes its own maneuverability stronger and the climbing speed also improved a lot . Compared with the "Phantom" 3's engine The speed of the 60.8kN plus thrust "Phantom" F1 is more than twice that of it. The second "Phantom" F1 has a larger range and stronger endurance in combat. Compared with the "Phantom" 3, it is basically In the exponential growth , the main reason for such a gap is that the "Phantom" F1 has increased the internal fuel volume by about 43%. Third , the "Phantom" F1 has better short- distance take-off and landing performance, so the requirements for landing airports Not high, even at an airstrip It can also land safely. Maybe that's what we mean by good adaptability, so survive the fittest. Specifically , the performance gap between the "Phantom" 3 is shortened by 30% in the takeoff and landing distance and the approach speed is reduced by 25%. The fourth "Phantom" "F1 takes into account the characteristics of economy. Under the same conditions, it saves two-fifths of the fuel than the "Phantom" 3. It is precisely because of these advantages that the "Phantom" F1 can successfully go from a spare tire to an outstanding one. Different light interceptor fighters naturally have their own advantages in performance parameters and technical characteristics . Like other models of the Mirage family, it is a single-engine single-seat fighter that can carry a pilot. The overall length of the fuselage is 15.3 meters . 8.4 meters high and 4.5 meters high , this volume determines its net weight of 7.4 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 16.2 tons . Due to the thrust of the engine, it can fly at a height of 11,000 meters and reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.2. The maximum combat radius is 425 kilometers . The range can reach 3300 kilometers. Even if two missiles are hung, its combat cruise time can still reach 2.25 hours . The conventional fixed equipment of the "Phantom" F1 is two 3mm Defa 553 cannons with 300 rounds of ammunition under the belly. There is an external pylon, and the wings on both sides are also equipped with external pylons. Generally, four tons of ammunition can be loaded. On the avionics equipment, I have to talk about the radar system of the "Phantom" F1. It is equipped with Thomson-CSF Cyrano IV . Type monopulse radar. It is this radar system that makes the Mirage F1 a veritable all-rounder in the air. It can not only perform air-to-surface attack missions , but also intercept medium-range missiles. There is no problem with the task at all, which has also become the main reason for small countries to buy this model. There are many derivative models of the "Phantom" F1. Each model has its own unique characteristics. F1C is a branch model of a huge family. In this family There are many derivative models , the most important of which is the Mirage F1CR. Its identity is a professional reconnaissance aircraft. It can not only perform long-range reconnaissance tasks in medium and high altitude areas, but also complete data collection tasks in low-altitude penetration. In addition , the Mirage F1C family of The elite also has the "Phantom" F1C-200 and "Phantom" F1CT. In order to meet the procurement needs of South Africa, the "Phantom" F1 has optimized the ability of daytime air combat. The main model is the Phantom F1AZ. It is a single-seat fighter. This model has a total of South Africa. Purchased 32 in the airspace of South Africa, the Mirage F1 once shot down two MiG-21s in Angola. Unlike the Mirage F1A, the Mirage F1B is a two-seater trainer. The fuselage length of the fighter increased by 0.3 meters. Two The seats are equipped with controls. After the first flight in 1976, the French Air Force ordered 20 first and delivered them in 1983. Iraq subsequently purchased 18 Mirage F1BQs . The highlight moment of the "Phantom" F1 After the start of the Iran-Iraq war, the "Phantom" F1 became the only weapon that Iraq could fight against the US-made F-14 "Tomcat" fighter. To a certain extent, the "Phantom" F1 was obviously inferior to the F-14. But its relatively small size makes it very flexible , and it has the capability of air-to-air combat, so in the face of the F-14 without an air-warning system, it has surprisingly won the first victory in Iraq. In addition , the Iraqi In May 1987, the "Phantom" F1 also took a severe bite of the US Navy. The US Navy was hit by two missiles from the "Phantom" F1. The Navy on the frigate injured 26 people and killed 37 people. Later in the Gulf War, the "Phantom" F1 The victory in Iraq reached the highest value. Even though it was later said that an American fighter jet crashed while evading the attack of the "Phantom" F1, it had no effect on the victory of the "Phantom" F1 and the "Phantom" that achieved the victory in Iraq. F1B may be a bit miserable compared to the "Phantom" F1M-53. As a fighter bidding for Europe, it made a change in the engine and was equipped with a Snecma M-53 engine . Unfortunately, it ended up in second place and lost to The F-16 fighter has been developed in such a large family of fighters in France. Its service history is also very spectacular. The original "Phantom" F1 was delivered to the French Air Force in May 1973, and it entered service in December of the same year. Operation Manta in 1984 After the French Air Force first used the "Phantom" F1 through a series of combat deployments, four Phantom F1C-200s participated in some small-scale battles as cover. Even in the new century , the equipment of the French Air Force has already been updated with the "Phantom" F1 It is also still playing its own value. In November 2001, Yamoussoukro Airport was attacked by "Phantom" F1 . Two attack aircraft and three gunships were destroyed . In October 2007, "Phantom" F1 partner "Phantom" 2000 appeared together Completed close-range tactical reconnaissance and air support missions at Kandahar Air Force Base. In March 2011, the Mirage F1CR completed a reconnaissance mission in Libya at the Air Force Base in Solozara until 2014, the French Mirage F1. The series of fighters were not fully retired. In fact, in the 1980s, the "Phantom" F1 began to be crowded out by its brother "Phantom" 2000 and other fighters for various reasons . It is more economical and can obtain greater benefits with the smallest cost. "Phantom" F1 is an alternative existence in the Phantom series. Its design is mature and conservative. It not only meets the needs of the French military, but also has a large number of exports. It has been baptized by war and successfully accepted . After the inspection, it shows that it is indeed a fighter with excellent performance. Even though it is slowly withdrawing from the battlefield , its brilliance is still recorded in the annals of history .
