Ukrainians want Mirage 2000Ds that French plane-maker Dassault optimized for ground-attack missions. But French officials also have mentioned air-defense-optimized Mirage 2000Cs.
According to Forbes, the single-engine, supersonic Mirage 2000 with its distinctive delta-shape wing was the French air force’s main fighter for 20 years starting in the mid-1980s. It began leaving service as new, twin-engine Rafales arrived in meaningful numbers in the early 2000s.
The ultimate version of the Mirage 2000C in French service had a single seat, an RDI pulse-doppler radar, the M53-P2 engine, a night-vision-compatible cockpit and provision for MICA radar-guided air-to-air missiles as well as laser-guided bombs.
The last few Mirage 2000Cs, out of around 120 Dassault built for the French air force, finally retired in 2022. It’s these old but well-maintained airframes an unnamed French official apparently was referring to when, last year, he told France 24 that one option for Paris was to donate to Kyiv 13 Mirage 2000Cs that still had “a bit of potential.”
Those jets could reinforce the Ukrainian air force’s fleet of 40 or s0 1980s-vintage Sukhoi Su-27s that, for two years now, have patrolled Ukrainian air space and occasionally flown low-level bombing sorties.
The surplus Mirage 2000Cs could not reinforce the swing-wing Sukhoi Su-24 bombers that carry Ukraine’s French-made SCALP-EG land-attack cruise missiles. The 200-mile-range SCALPs are some of Ukraine’s best deep-strike munitions.
Two-seat Mirage 2000Ds could bolster the two- or three-dozen Su-24s, however. One of the main differences between the Mirage 2000C and the newer Mirage 2000D, beside the additional seat in the latter, is that the Ds are compatible with SCALPs as well as with most of France’s other precision air-to-ground munitions.
The French air force is upgrading, for another few years of service, 48 of the 86 Mirage 2000Ds that Dassault built, adding new munitions including MICA missiles.
The rest of the D-models are retiring. In theory, they’re available for onward transfer to Ukraine, according to Forbes.

  18. These are still highly capable fighter planes , however we are in an era where the quality and capability of the on board radar together with the range of air to air missiles are the most deciding factor in air to air combat .

  30. the 26 Mirage 2000C were close to the end of their service life of 6,700 flying hours. end parked in end of 2021
    however the 2000C could be the Mirage 2000-5F a 2000S MLU of the 2000C French has 26 Mirage 2000-5F
    Mirage 2000D and Mirage 2000-5F are staying in service 2030, however since 2021 5 2000D have been taken out of
    service and 10 more could be adding in 2024, so the 2000D and 5F could make up a 2 squadron + 4 to 9 back up or parts
    with Rafale order of 82+ more maybe
    40 aircraft scheduled for delivery by the end of 2025
    42 deliveries are expected between 2027 and 2032.

    10 Mirage 2000D and 26 Mirage 2000-5F could
    but it is too early to take that to the bank

  35. I heard France was also working on another deal to get more Mirage jets for Ukraine, they were selling some Rafale's to I believe a Gulf State that had over 40 Mirage jets they would then retire, France offered to take back the Mirage Jets as partial payment then send them on to Ukraine.

  37. We appreciate the efforts of our longtime French partners in their continued defense of freedom.

    Getting these still very capable Mirage fighter aircraft to Ukraine as quickly as possible is a positive step for a willing and tough Ukrainian Armed Forces in defense of their homeland.

    Thank you to the Macron government, and the French people.
    🇺🇲🇺🇦

    Glory to God,
    Victory for Ukraine,
    Rise Free Nations!

  39. French government are full of shit, ripped Australia for 100s of millions over a bullshit submarine deal. Thousands of Australian soldiers are buried in France, fighting for the liberation of France in ww1 and ww2. Sir john monash , Australian general was the architect of finally defeating the Germans in France.
