The Mirage IIIS was a French Mirage IIIC built to Swiss specifications and built in Switzerland. While the aircraft was nearly identical externally to its French cousin, the Mirage IIIS was built with a stronger airframe and landing gear to withstand movement by crane inside the Swiss caverns that serve as protective airbases. The Mirage IIIS also replaced the French Cyrano radar with a Hughes made system. The aircraft entered service in 1967 and received a major airframe refresh/upgrade in the 1990s where it received canards like the Mirage 50. The Mirage IIIRS replaced the radar nose with a reconnaissance nose and the ability to carry additional reconnaissance sensors in a centerline pod.
