But there are not public information, we are trying to get some numbers from the Dagger AFM and take off performance charts to see if it was feasible.
Mirage 3
Take off run requirement at MTOW - 1600m.
Take off run requirement at min (airshow) mass - 760m
Stopping with wheel braking & chute - 800m

The Dagger being a Mirage 5 copy, was maybe pretty similar, i.e no leading edge devices (these where introduced on the IAI Kfir specifically to improve T/O performance). Typical European Mirage operating bases used runways approximately 2100m long.
A very simplistic calc would suggest that a risky "no margins" T/O from Puerto Argentino with no useful ordinance load, would just about permit a ferry flight to main land Argentina with a secondary A/F diversion fuel load.
SEU operations were also very marginal, not sure about Skyhawks. For these two types, even the very limited availability of C130 AAR tankers i.e. 2 (or was it 3) made the option of Puerto Argentino basing pretty academic really....AAR was much more effective, as demonstrated on a number of occasions.
