It does not look very shot down, what happened there?
My bad I've read "F1EQ" and assumed Iraqi. First picture is an Iraki F1 during testing before delivery.Thank you very much, but the second image shows an Iraqi (not Iranian) F1EQ that has just been shot down by an F-14 missile. And what is the source of the first one ? & I don't see a roundel on this F1.
Great catch! It was generally a safe bet the PL-7s would be compatible.I just found a photo from August 2014 showing an F1BQ equipped with a PL-7, during a visit of
president Hassan Rouhani.

The Iranians have reported several times to have integrated different types of missiles on F1s, but there have never been any published photos.Great catch! It was generally a safe bet the PL-7s would be compatible.
I'm personally more interested if the IRIAF was ever (successfully) allocated funding/resources to integrate any of Iran's various AshMs with the Mirage F1s since there isn't much available in terms of BVR missile/Super 530 replacements.
Great !!!Well I've got pictures of some of those tails at least: 3-6402 (BQ), 3-6211 (EQ)
I hope that you can attach them later, peharps it's a problem of image format ?But for some reason, I'm just getting "A server error occurred" messages when I try to attach the pictures....
Great finds F.L., though i just can't see the iranian Mirage F1s being able to guide the 150km range Fakkour on their own even if they might have a new radar (which can only be a derivative of the Bayyenat from F-4 Dowran and F-5 Kowsar). Though i guess it's possible for the Fakkour to be carried and launched by the F1, but the missile itself being guided by an F-14AM.And also this model showing a F1EQ with many weapons, notably laser guided bombs, Fakour-90, PL-7, Nasr anti-ship missile & AGM-84 under the wings !!!
