he delta wing Dassault Mirage
2000 is a French multirole, single-
engine, fourth-generation aircraft,
designed in the late 1970s as a lightweight
fighter based on the iconic Mirage III
for the French Air Force. Since then the
Mirage 2000 evolved into a true multi-
role platform with several variants being
developed, and the type has been sold to
a number of air forces around the globe.
The variants include the Mirage 2000C
fighter and Mirage 2000D and Mirage
2000N strike variants, and the improved
Mirage 2000-5, and the proposed 2000-- Over 600 aircraft have been built,
and it has been in service with nine
nations. The Mirage 2000 has proven a
capable performer under extreme combat
conditions and has seen action across
Europe, the Middle East and in North Africa as a part of the NATO
contingent enforcing the ‘No-Fly Zone’ over Libya. Despite the
aircraft currently being replaced by the much more advanced
Dassault Rafale, the Dassault Mirage 2000 still plays a role in
operations of the French Air Force today, and remains a potent
platform with other user nations. Mirage 2000 fighters in
currently operation with the French Air Force are
the Mirage 2000C/B single seater and two-
set variants, the Mirage 2000N and
the upgraded Mirage 2000NK3,
designed for all weather
nuclear penetration
at low altitude and
very high speed.
Also in service with
the French Air Force
is the Mirage 2000D,
an upgraded version
of the Mirage 2000N, using
conventional and laser guided munitions, and the
Mirage 2000-5, incorporating advanced avionics,
new sensors and control systems. The Mirage
2000 has nine hardpoints for carrying weapon
system payloads - five on the fuselage and two on
each wing. The single-seat version is also armed
with two internally mounted, high-firing-rate
30mm guns. Air-to-air weapons include MICA
air-to-air missiles, and the Magic 2 cwE and
Egypt. Brazil retired its Mirage 2000s in 2013,
however, the type remains in service around
the world with many being upgraded to new
standards. The success of this iconic Dassault delta is lavishly
brought to life in this new MDF Scale Down book, which will
provide information and inspiration for the modeller
and enthusiast alike.SCALED DOWNM D F^8THE DASSAULT
