Shed light on gunsight - Aircraft of World War II

adolfgalland1 · 09-21-2008, 11:48 AM

Hi,

Can anyone enlighten me on the gunsight used by the Israeli Mirage III in combat ? I understand that the original French gunsight had ranging with the Cyrano radar and that the Israelis found it useless under 10,000 feet. They seem to have jury rigged something -- whatever it was must have been effective as the record shows. Somebody told me that the jury rig sight wasn't even gyroscopic.

Thanx...
