Iraq took delivery of 28 such F1 models last summer, all specially modified to use the standoff antiship missile that first made its mark during the Falklands war. With a range of up to 1,000 miles, the Mirages are also capable of venturing deeper into the gulf than aircraft used by the Iraqis in the past.
