Mirage M-5MA Elkan - The final version of Belgium's Mirage 5BA

That’s not how that works, chile doesn’t got to France just because a vehicle from it could be added there lol. Thats like saying Colombia goes to Israel because of the new event vehicle or that Argentina is a German subtree because a few vehicles are found there.

The Mirage 5BA is the basic Mirage 5, this is the one that has the improvements implemented by the Mirsip program, you only have to look at the cockpit of this one with the one in the game to realize that they are completely different, as you mention the Canards would help it to be more maneuverable, and the AIM-9P are possibly AIM-9P3 which are somewhat better than the J, why do I say that they could be AIM-9P3, because at the time that Chile acquired the Mirage Elkan from Belgium the AIM-9P1 was no longer manufactured and Chile did not have them in stock so the AIM-9P would have been bought from Belgium along with the fighters. It is also difficult to know because aesthetically the P1, P2 and P3 are almost identical, I have a photo where you can see an active Elkan missile and not a practice one, perhaps someone could help us identify the exact model

Exactly, everything will depend on whether Israel gets a complete Chilean subtree or just an individual vehicle. If the latter case occurs, then Chilean vehicles can go to any nation that is related to the vehicle.

again, cockpit modifications dont make a plane 10.7 worthy, the main difference betwen the aim9J and the aim9P3 is that you can radar slave the p3, something that doesnt help on a plane with no radar.

the canards do make it pull a bit more AoA but again you get the same Atar 09C engine so even if you get more aoa you are gonna bleed a lot of energy that you will not regain easily.

again, the main difference would be the canards, they both get the same engine, same guns and basicaly same missiles, the difference is not huge so 10.3 would be its best br

someone already suggested the same plane but the ones belgium used here: Mirage MirSIP: The Belgian canard delta
