Atlas Cheetah received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article. |
I had to rewrite the article somewhat, due to the fact that Greg Goebel's Vectorsite is not always accurate and is very far off the mark in this case, most of his info being totally incorrect. I will create a separate article for the SA helmet-mounted sight later on. Impi 23:53, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Great reply, Impi! I sometimes get the feeling that questions/comments like the one at the top are (sometimes) motivated by the mindset that som == ething as sophisticated as a fighter aircraft cannot be manufactured in an African country ... they're dead wrong, of course.

I think the other Cheetah article should be merged into this one - this is a far superior article, and is better written. Artagra 23:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
The article indicates a rate of climb for the Cheetah of 1,484 m/min. The Mirage III from which it was derived climbs at a rate of nearly 5,000 m/min with essentially the same engine. I think something is wrong with the number shown. Plaasjaapie 04:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Why is that Mid-Life Updated Mirage III, comparable to fighters like the Mirage 2000 or the F-16? These are both a generation newer and are truely multi-role fighters. In contrast the Cheetah can be compared to the MiG-21, MiG-23/27 or the F-5 Tiger II, although the F-5 does not reach Mach 2. 92.227.122.25 ( talk) 00:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
The introductory paragraph ignores Project Carver entirely in its discussion of the evolution of the Cheetah. It is my understanding that the Cheetah was a stopgap project to counter the MiG-23, while the Carver was being developed as a counter to Su-27 and MiG-29 aircraft that would eventually have made their way to southern Africa.
I have removed the following text:
This text has probably been taken from [2] - and as this is a general discussion forum with the un-sourced contribution having been made by a "Junior Member" this statement cannot be used as a verifiable or respected source. Naturally, it deserves to be re-instated in the article if properly substantiated / sourced. Farawayman ( talk) 16:58, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
