Dassault Mirage IV Supersonic Strategic Aircraft Family

The Dassault Mirage IV was a French supersonic strategic aircraft family developed for long-range reconnaissance and the airborne nuclear deterrent. Its slender delta planform, twin afterburning turbojets, and sustained high-speed flight made it a defining postwar French military design; the family evolved from the Mirage IV 01 prototype into the Mirage IVA bomber and later Mirage IVP reconnaissance aircraft.
