I will reply to your remarks.....
about the mirages....the difference is not big and although the might have some advantages in some aspects of BVR, they do have also some disadvantages in BVR and flexibility which is in the oppenent's hand to exploit them.....Hence using a couple of Mirages doesn't change the balance of the forces under no circumstance
Concerning the fuel factor, the commao must have more fuels because they must travel longer time comparing to the CAP. Nevertheless, as I would have explained to your people if we flew the mission, the stearpoints that you would have would be only indicative. The same also stands for the take off time....So as you can understand you could take off later than the schedule time, design your own flight plan and by that you would eliminate the so-called advantage of the extra fuel tank
As far as it concerns your last remark....flying F18 or F15 you must know that by doing that then the balance between CAP and Commao wouldn't be scaled. Because these airplanes are much more superior than F16 or Mirage
I hope you understand my explanation to your remarks
