The Dassault Mirage IIIC entered Armée de l'Air service in 1964 as France's primary supersonic interceptor, combining a thin delta wing with the Atar 09B turbojet for Mach 2 performance. Mirage III derivatives flew with Israel in the Six-Day War, equipped Swiss Fliegertruppen for decades, and became one of the most exported Western fighters of the Cold War. The Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer entered Soviet Air Force service in the 1970s and received the Su-24M upgrade in the 1980s with improved targeting pods and nav-attack systems for all-weather strike. Its variable-geometry wing echoed the F-111 concept while the side-by-side cockpit and rugged undercarriage suited unpaved forward operating bases. The Lavi program symbolized Israel's push for strategic autonomy in combat aircraft at a moment when the F-16 had become America's preferred export fighter. Cancellation remains one of the most debated decisions in Israeli aerospace history — advocates argue the industrial base and jobs justified continuation; critics cite cost and diplomatic friction with Washington.
