Iran overhauls Mirage fighter's oxygen generation system
2016-10-09
Iranian Air Force successfully overhauled Mirage fighter's on-board oxygen generation system (OBOGS) which supplies oxygen to the flight crew. The overhaul was carried out by experts of the Overhaul Center of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) for the first time, the official website of the IRIAF reported.
"Did they make the parts from the blueprints they 'stole' from our server, Moishe?"
"They sure did, Ari."
"Excellent, most excellent."
Mirage is a French air-superiority fighter and attack aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Iran's air force reportedly has at least 12 operational Mirage fighters.

Earlier in 2014, it was announced that the Islamic republic’s defense ministry has domestically produced a cruise missile system for its Mirage fighters.

#5  #1The Mirage F1 was sold by France to Iraq in the 1980s. During Desert Storm, pilots in Iraq took them to Iran.

March 1994 - Taxiing to the terminal in a C-160, past scores of demolished RU aircraft and bombed hangers. There they were, sitting on a spotlessly clean pad. French Mirage jets, possibly 4-5 of them. Seemed criminal at the time.

#3  the waste product from the OBOGS is whatever else is in the air, primarily nitrogen. dont know about this system but American set ups have different sized porrts to prevent connecting the N2 to the aviator. wouldnt it be too bad if Al-Murphy worked on those birds????

They might be useful for surveillance.
