Thanks for the source, actually I had already seen that Gallica was offering the book however it is only 15% digitized, I will probably have to buy it online.

Is it ok to post any Mirage F1 restricted manuals published in 1975 here?
The site I found those documents
The Mirage F1CT can drop guided weapons but cannot guide them itself; it must be accompanied by a designator aircraft (Mirage 2000D, Rafale, etc.) or have laser illumination provided by a ground operator.
Some variants used by other countries have been improved to enable this (notably the Moroccan MF 2000, which can designate and fire munitions).
Otherwise the bomb that you describe as a JDAM in this image is in reality a Mk82 with a different nose, it is missing certain elements which would suggest that it is a JDAM.
Nice mention.
Still waiting for that one. Might end up being a high tier premium or event vehicle down the line.

Yes all of those are okay to use.

Personally I hope it will be put in the research tree, this improvement is too important to put it behind the barrier of premiums or squadron vehicles. Other Mirage F1 variants have received laser designation capabilities and could do the job as premium, I am thinking in particular of the Iranian Mirage F1 which has also received the ability to fire the Exocet
Can’t sadly, unless Morroco ends up as subtree for France, and even then, it would bring a lot of US or Russian Equipment.
And the Iranian is already going to USA, if ever. (-> F-14A IRIAF)
EQ is Iraqi Mirage F1
The F1 EQ would make a great squadron vehicle
But iirc it was upgraded by a French company in Belgium? Makes sense to me
It doesn’t matter much, Gaijin will put whatever wherever they want, with whichever justification fits at the given time.

The situation would at best be similar to the Canadian tree, both for Morocco, or Iran to get vehicles to the US. An Iranian subtree to the US would be extremely strange, and I highly doubt Morocco would end up as a subtree (not enough unique aircraft).
However, in the case of the MF2000, since it was a French proposal (for Morocco) developed by French and Belgium companies, it’s probably that it would end up as a French event vehicle (just like the Iranian f14 ended up as a US vehicle).
As for the F1EQ, the same argument could be given for an event vehicle as well, except that this one ended up in Iranian service (same as the event f14).
However, I doubt either of those plane would come as a tech tree as the involvement of France is limited, and these 2 countries probably won’t end up as sub trees (or even trees) anytime soon.
Well, unless France received the UK/US treatment (Canadian vehicles while Canada is not a subtree).

It was a Morrocan request to upgrade current aircrafts, and not a proposal from French.
ASTRAC is a private venture between Sagem and Thales, and as such French Governement made nothing about that specific contract.

It was upgraded by a french Private company, nothing that directly linked it to french institutions.
Even so no matter which variant excluding the SA variants could easily end up as premium, event or squadron vehicle.
As many others have said, I think that if the MF 2000 was added to the game it would be in the French tree, the case of the F14IRIAF is particular but I suspect that Gaijin added it to the US to avoid the plane remaining an exclusive
