Description

All the versions of the Mirage 2000 which flew under tricolor cockades are dissected, equipment by equipment: air defence (2000-C and Tiret-5), deterrence (the N version, for Nuclear), conventional assault (D, for Diversified), but also the devices dedicated to flight tests used by the DGA. The aircraft then incorporated multiple innovations, still appreciated today: electric flight controls, multimode nose cone radars, an integrated electronic warfare system imagined from the design stage. Down to the finest technical details, this meticulous work gives great importance to equipment: engine, radar, avionics, nacelles in payloads, and armaments, from the ASMP-A strategic missile (improved medium-range air-to-ground) to new rockets. air-to-ground for fire support.

3In the end, faithful to the reputation of Dassault products, the Mirage 2000 proves to be an aircraft capable of integrating multiple evolutions and versions, up to the current program of modernization of the three squadrons of Mirage 2000D devoted to air-to-ground support. in asymmetric conflicts. While the Rafale records success after success internationally, this book tells us about half a century of military aviation. Certainly, the Mirage 2000 of the Air and Space Force have not yet bowed out. Making its first flight in 1978, Dassault’s supersonic single-engine aircraft will serve the country until 2030.
