Air Force Question Thread

[Najam Khan]

now the question is which mirage version this one is. it is quite different

Thats ex-RAAF Mirage-IIIEA received under Blue Flash V contract, 42 Mirage-IIIEA and 8 dual seat Mirage-IIIDA were part of the deal. Later in next couple of years all of these Mirages went to PAC for ROSE Upgrade.

No.5 Sqn has the distinction of following more Mirages variants then any other squadron in the world, Mirage-IIIEA/DA/EP/RP and Mirage-VDR were part of their inventory in the last decade.

PAF was also known as the mirage force apart from the f-6/f-7s used in large number..! we are the largest users of mirage after france with a wide variety and many different versions and derivatives.

but does anyone have any update on the induction of mirage 2000s in the future?

Its the dorsal spine only dual seat Bk52/60 F16s have it. It contains the electronic warfare avionics and other additional features which are related to the weapons controller or GIBS.

The Mirage 2000N is the nuclear strike variant which was intended to carry the Aerospatiale Air-Sol Moyenne Portee (ASMP) nuclear stand-off missile. Initial flight tests of two prototypes began on February 3, 1983, and the Mirage 2000N entered operational service in 1988. A total of 75 were built.

The fighter had strengthened wings for low-altitude operations, as well as low-level precision navigation/attack systems, built around the Dassault/Thales Antilope 5 radar, which was designed for the strike role and featured a terrain-avoidance capability.

The ASMP missile is 5.38 meters long with a kerosene-powered ramjet that allows it to cruise at Mach 3 to a maximum range of 100 km carrying a nuclear warhead with a yield of 300 kT.

The M2k-5-2 is the peak.. able to do all that the N variant does.. and more.
the N stands for nuclear.. nothing more.. otherwise its just another M2K-D.

Hasnt the Mirage 2000 production line discontinued already. IAF was very much interested in these fighters but by the time MMRCA came out, Mirage was discontinued and the French offered the Rafale instead

Ya FGFA project work is going on by Russia and India and I think it will be inducted by 2019-2020, 2 years after the J-20 is inducted by China.
