I'm guessing that the plane had a role in the first Gulf War.

Atlas Cheetah?

Edit: Oh wait, IAI Kfir?

(Both essentially variants of the Mirage, for anyone wondering why these sound so different after being told it's "VERY close")

Ah, stupidly close with the Kfir

IAI Nesher (The IAI version of the Mirage 5, where the Kfir I think was from the III?)

Yay :) it was the engine intakes that gave it away, they're fairly distinctive to the Mirage family

Okay then, how about this sporty little number

Indeed :)

I thought using a stupidly obscure photo of it was perhaps a little unfair, considering it's already a pretty niche aircraft

I'd recognize that nose anywhere - Bristol M.1

And with an arrogant assumption that I'm right, here's a more modern one: closeup because anything more zoomed out would be an instant giveaway
