I never understood why the French were involved with the Jaguar.
At the same time they were developing the Mirage F1 which is very similar to the Jag in terms of weight as well as thrust and wing loading.
Says a lot about why the Mirage F1 was the greatest fighter though!
What did a Jag do that the Mirage F1 could not?
The Super E was was few year behind but also broadly similar.
