The Dassault Mirage IV was a French supersonic strategic bomber and deep-reconnaissance aircraft. Developed by Dassault Aviation, the aircraft entered service with the French Air Force in October 1964. For many years it was a vital part of the nuclear triad of the Force de Frappe, France's nuclear deterrent striking force. The Mirage IV was retired from the nuclear strike role in 1996, and the type was entirely retired from operational service in 2005. With the Mirage IVB considered to be too expensive, the medium-sized Mirage IVA was chosen for three prototypes to be produced.This aircraft had a wing area of 77.9 square metres and weighed about 32,000 kilograms. On 4 April 1960, a formal order for 50 production Mirage IVA aircraft was issued.
