History

You can read stories before ‘C.70 Upgrade’ Here(Mirage IIIS Suggestion)
Work on improving the Mirage IIIS began in 1988. The most notable of these upgrades was the addition of canards, which improved takeoff and landing stability and maneuverability. The upgrade name C.70 also came from ‘Canard Wing at 70%’. Also, less noticeable improvements include the AN/ALE-40 Flare/Chaff Dispenser and IP-1310/ALR Radar Warning Receiver.
Although the Mirage was capable of performing a ground attack role, it was usually focused on interception missions, and very little training was conducted using the AS.30. In a typical patrol flight mission, it is not equipped with radar-guided missiles, but is equipped with two SIWA missiles and 2-3 fuel tanks.
These Mirage IIIS remained in service until 1999, when they were officially retired after flying in formation at the Mirage "99 event. Mirage IIIBS/DS “EMIR” and Mirage IIIRS “AMIR” remained in service after 1999, and the Swiss Mirage III series was completely retired in 2003.
