I would like to point out some errors stated in this comment.
Firstly of all NONE of the ex-Qatari aircraft wer upgraded to M model, the four mentioned in your statement were ex-French Air Force Mirages F-1Cs adquired along with a two-seater. In SpAF received tail numers 88, 89, 90 and 91.
Secondly, no one S-530F was ever sold to Draken
Thirdly, the F1-CE and EE supported the weapon even before the upgrading program The rail and the launcher (LM-38) are the same for both missiles and SpAF launchers wer modified at the turn of th '80s when it was thought that the weapon was going to be purchased, but by strange reasons it never happened
Fourth, the CYRANO IVM was introduced in SpAF Mirage fleet in the middle '80s, the M has nothing related to the M designation of the aircraft. SpAF and FAF were the only customers with the M model in the radar (do not confuse with MR radar of the Iraqui aircraft) The M designation was related to a big change of LRU's, the change of the scope, the introduction of new functions, and the introduction of new EPM's. So essentially the radar is similar to the CT, but the SpAF Mirages introduced an LRU's for Radar Ranging while the CT obtains ranging by means of the Laser Range Finder the Thomson TMV-630. The CR has not that capability.
Fifth, SpAF pilots do not need training on the missile since it was employed during the time ex-Qatari aircraft were in, so they have a good knoledge about its employment
And last but no least, Morroccan Air Force validated the MICA missile on its modernised Mirages. The upgrading was based on the SpAF upgrade
