In the 1970s, the uprated Atar 09K-50 series engine was added to Dassault’s Mirage-V line and a Cyrano IV radar suite was installed as part of a new avionics package upgrade. With improved performance, the Mirage V was now offered in its new "Mirage 50" guise though takers on the foreign market proved slim on the whole - Chile being the only real operator with Venezuela following.

The Chilean Air Force aircraft came from both existing stocks of fighters as well as newly-built aircraft. It was sometime later that these aircraft were upgraded for the Chilean Air Force by the local concern of ENAER with Israeli assistance and ended up producing the ENAER Mirage 50CN "Pantera" ("Panther") model. Chief changes for the Pantera included a whole new nose section which was lengthened over the original, upgraded avionics, canard foreplanes and slight aerodynamic alterations.
Armament (for this build); 2x 30 mm DEFA 552 internal cannons, two AIM-9 missiles, three AGM-65’s and two GBU-16’s.

Controls;

• AG1 Switches on the afterburner option. With AG1 activated, the afterburner will kick in at 90% throttle; if AG1 is left deactivated, the plane will limit itself to somewhat more sensible speeds (and fuel consumption rates).
• AG2 Nose wheel steering unlock (for taxi only)
• AG3 Lights
• AG4 Air brakes
• AG5 Brake chute
• AG7 Dumps the entire ground attack load (AGM-65’s and bombs) in one go
