Dassault Mirage G

The Dassault Mirage G was a multi-role combat aircraft from the French manufacturer Dassault Aviation, which should be suitable both as a fighter as well as for ground attacks. As a key feature, the machine had swing wings and the possible use of nuclear weapons. The development of the Dassault Mirage based on the machine began in 1964.

Starting from the first prototype of the still single-engine Mirage G was the more powerful two-seater Mirage G4. Given the revised operational doctrine, however, a plane was soon specifically required for the Abfangjagd, and so the single-seat Mirage G8 was developed. On May 8, 1971 first flew the G8 -01, a fighter-bomber, which was based on the Mirage F1B and used many components of this pattern. There was still a second prototype Mirage G8 -02, 1973, the program was discontinued because the costs were too high.
