The French Mirage 2000 fighter jet burst into operational service in 1984 after several years of development and was eventually flown by nine countries Subscribe Now : / @military-tv
Hey! You kept switching between views of the Mirage 2000, which is delta winged, and the Mirage F1 which is absolutely NOT delta winged. Do you think we're idiots?
Do you mean tested like when the French bomb some camels in the desert. Ukraine Airforce was destroyed within hours so the Russians could not test the the planes against flying opponent but Ukraine inherited a shitload of air defense systems, no Nato country could claim a better anti air protection, so the russian planes are being tested every day.
@@MartinMaarva How can the Ukranian airforce have been destroyed "within hours". When that same airforce has contested the Ukranian airspace for a year plus.
@@williamalfonso1373 About 60 to 70% were destroyed within minutes. It is a large country with many airports and many other repair and maintenance facilities. They had hundreds of planes, even more older airframes, a lot of spares and also some donations from abroad. The surviving and repaired rest is being hunted as soon as airborne. Ukrainian airforce was not contesting anything, especially not any airspace over Ukraine. The air defence is but another story, Ukrainians inherited shitloads of air defences from Soviet Union. You can put together anti air capabilities of France, UK and Germany together, multiply it by ten and it still would be a far cry from what Ukraine had. You can also add several thousands of handheld missiles donated to Ukraine. That is the force that keeps the Ukrainian skies relatively clear. The issue is that these defences are mostly depleted now, Russians are picking them apart one by one and soon there will be none left.
Not 'perfect' for the long range interdiction role, because of the 'short' range of the MICA Missile(~80km), but it can do CAS, bombing,.. quite well and the Mica is still of use for some 'potshots' when you actually ancounter an other russian flying deep under the radar like you do yourselfs. So: NO substitute for a F-16/18 with AIM-120D or a Gripen/Eurofighter with Meteor, but still a worhwhile beginning!
Mica is short range? Stop talking out of your ass. It’s more than enough to engage the Russians and F16’s. Mirage 2000 is way too powerful for F16s. They’re not great for CAS. They’re mostly useful for interception, their delta wings make it a world class dog fighter. Couple that with laser guided ground attacks, the do real well in stand-off missions.
I agree that this is a start, but saying F16/F18 or a Gripen/Eurofighter would be the best, that would greatly depend which block version that will be sent. Because if the ones sent are from storage, then it would be some old planes, which would not be ideal. And I doubt any country would send their latest planes for multiple reasons
@@crazyjarjar4894 Hello Jar, i am not THAT of a Datasheet crack that i can EXACTL say what new Radar-Sets, EW-Jammers, Datalink-features,... this or that newer F-16 or F-18 Block can do that a older F-16 or F-18c/d can't but as I can find out on google is that a Gripen C/D supports Meteor, a F-18c/d like the Spanish, Canadian, Finnish,.. use it, at LEAST a AIM-120C, Tranche-1 Eurofighter deto, so they at least would have more reach than a Mica and contrary to the R-27 on there current Mig-29 a active Radar-seeker, with no need to illuminate the target with the fighters own Radar until the rocket hits.
In the 70s we saw them fly over on a regular basis, going through the sound barrier, we didn't have yet a sound barrier break law. It was a magnificent sight to see these, you could easily see that they were mirages. Because of the distincter shape. These are quite old jets, and I'm not sure if they will be a step-up for Ukraine. But the suggestion is all that counts, right?
Mirage 2000s should be good enough to go toe to toe with the Russian Air Force. India still operates Mirage 2000s and they are one of their trusted planes.
@@col.waltervonschonkopf69 I still think these are great looking jets, and with jets that fall out of the sky, in Russia, it's normal that these Mirages would win. 😁😆
Bro why r u talking to urself? Btw if u think Mirage has Very Good Track record well that mean either u don't know anything about Mirage 2000 or maybe ur country not using one. The Mirage has most expensive maintenance cost ask The Taiwanese who regularly has to send their 2000's for security purpose. And apparently were in talks about selling them for this reason. While in Libya many French jets just Crashed because of normal military use.(Reconaisance/intel gathering role). So Ys they are good but not as much as people think.
Ukraine needs aircraft that employ long-range air-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-ship armaments. Mirages are comparable to Mig-29 UAF in terms of capabilities but might introduce maintenance challenges. On the other hand, Ukraine is short in air defenses, and even limited capability might help against missiles and drones as long as there is a lot of air-to-air missiles to spare.
The Mirage 2000 C for Chasse (hunting) is above all an interceptor designed in the 70s/80s, these systems are quite old and I am not really convinced that it is really a game changer. On the other hand, even an "old" Mirage is better than nothing at all. Anyway I heard that Ukrainians were training since July for JTAC procedures, so...
@@marcg1686 Ukraine needs modern ground attack platforms or fox-3 capable jets with missiles of a longer range than R-27 for air defense and interceptions and the mirage's 530D is a old and not very capable fox-1 with a range more than 3x less compared to the most modern aim120 and the mirage will need to keep radar lock until that missile hits something a feature of fox-1 or SARH missiles that have made current Ukrainian planes very vulnerable
@@2bidfilmsguy I'm not suggesting that the M2K is an up to date platform in its current state. Nevertheless, it could free up Ukrainian assets and allow them to take on the Russian air force. With upgraded radar and the Meteor missile it would be a good intercepter at high altitude.
it is retired because rafale replacement and the -C standard is getting old, but thales can upgrade -5 standard level, thales is in work with indian fleet with -H standard new rdy radar, new rwr suite, 6 air air misile, fox3, scalp missile, aasm,bgl,exocet, it will be equivalent to F16b52. for urkaine it will be good to mixte F16,M2000-5 U, Tornado, they need 150 jets
Well they can be uograded for electronically scanned arrays eventually opening the doir for meteors, but most importantly they can use storm shadow cruise missiles and make a very goid delivery playeform that is highly capable of self defense should it meet sny russian hers, also it’s prelium cas against missiles and drones
If its only effective in shooting drones and missiles i think its not worth it as a fighter. Ukraine must choose the Rafale or the Eurofighter typhoon or even the block 70 F16, a technologically advance fighter jet that can tackle the latest 5th generation russian fighters.
There are 53 M2000-5 in service in Taiwan AF, Taiwan really has a hard time maintaining those fighter jets in good shape, it would be great if France would buy back and sell to Greece or give them for free to Ukraine.... but this is highly unlikely, if not impossible😮💨
I see an advantage for Ukraine getting set up to use the Mirage 2000, they will, in time, have trained pilots, a maintenance and support system set up, and lots of replacements available on the international market. I’d think France will be willing to supply them with weapons, especially if Ukraine buys up 2000s from other countries who could then turn around and buy Frances new Rafale fighter jets as replacements. Then France could truly justify supplying Ukraine with weapons and support for Ukraine’s Mirage 2000s. And, the Mirage is really still a good plane. And, I’m sure the Ukrainians will find a way to use it to their greatest advantage.
This version retired 2 years ago other more modern version like mirage 2000D are still in service. Armies do not keep what they do not use anymore, there are discussions to send 40 mirages 2000-C to Ukraine, these would come from an initial sale contract between France and the UAE. The mirage are modern combat approved. They did a lot of battle. The only time an F-16 was shot down by an aircraft it was a french mirage that shot down a turkish F-16D in greek territory on the 8th of october 1996.
radar - 90 miles ? Does that mean that Mirage2000 cant see the enemy further than 90 miles ??? We all know that Orcs shoot down SU25 from about 220km. There will be a lot of extreme low-altitude training for hit and run missions. However, it can guard the space, it can shoot down cruise missiles and drones, it can bomb... Well, God speed Ukis. PS tbh I think Ukr pilots performed better on Mirages than on F16 (some colonel from AF explained something about "muscle memory" and that pilot trained on soviet equipment gained certain "muscle memory" that can not be erased ever, meaning in some cases it will be better to train completely unexperienced pilot than to train ex-soviet pilot.
@@dl7694 mig31 with r37 missiles can hit them at 150km EASY... i would honestly punish West for prolonging their suffering and body count. Ukraine can NEVER win this, not in a hundred yrs, therefore each Day of their resistance results in unnecesary deaths. All these western morons that cheers "slava ukraine" never saw a second of war. Im from serbia, nato bombed in 1999...
All help to Ukraine is fantastic news, God Bless you for all your support. Our help assists the Ukraine Warriors and President Zelensky with their Tactics/Skills and together we will "Extinguish" Putin (The Belligerent Murdering Terrorist) and his Russian Warmongering Allies from the land of the Ukraine....Victory to Ukraine from the UK ..xx
Radar range 93 miles ???? this is the minimum 12 miles range missile is much too short ONLY the Meteor will work to deter the Russian Planes from enough distance
No, the radar would need to be upgraded. The strengths of the M2K are its simple engine, strong undercarriage, strong airframe, good high altitude performance and low RCS.
That’s because we are living in the United States, all our media is controlled by our governments including every single news outlet and sites like RU-vid. Go ahead do a search on RU-vid, looking for footage of Russians winning or Russians kicking ass on Ukrainians. Count how many videos you find of Russians winning or ambushing Ukrainians, once you realize you can find 1 if you’re lucky, count the thousands upon thousands you find of Ukrainians outsmarting Russians or the thousands upon thousands of videos showing Russians running around like fools. After your search you will know the answer as to why we don’t see any of Russian modern jets turning Ukrain into dust ! Good health and success to you friend
I don't know if it's me only or not but i noticed that the westerns enthusiasm for the war became lesser and lesser it's shrinking at the beginning of the conflict most of the westerns support the Idea of be part from that conflict but now they're saying ( End it what the hell this conflict have to do with us?!! No more not a single penny more ) Hmmm 🤔🤔 that is so strange
Normal, ont a plus qu'à attendre la cintre attaque qui sera mené au bon moment,avec une puissance de frappe tel que la Russie n'aura Duarte choix que fuire , comme pour la première cintre attaque, a la différence que celle-ci sera bien plus brutal et rapide.. Seul crainte ...que poutine ne commette l'irréparable..ce qui signerais la fin de l'armée russe mais également énormément de mort dans les villes de l'OTAN ..nous épargneront les villes russes a la différence de Poutine qui cible les villes.. Mais au final la Russie ne serais plus ..
Beggars, stop pretending your not Russians sellouts. You do realize there is a lot of Americans like myself that have access to historical information that has not been molested like the historical information on the internet right ? And the historical information comes from these crazy things called BOOKS ! The same books we used in college when your make believe country was still a Russian State and you didn’t want people to go along with your make believe ancestry called Ukrainian. What a embarrassment to your ancestors and to the rest of Russians you sellout beggars have become. How long you think it will be till the rest of the world starts using books instead of the internet to get information? You guys are what Pakistan is to India, sellouts beggars and wannabes. So funny hearing a Indian tell people they are Pakistanis with a straight face, is if it’s actually a ethnicity now. Education has become a circus with the creation of internet…please Clown on Ukrainian lmao ….what was Russia before the Soviet Union? Let me go ahead and answer for you, it was the Russian Empire! Did you know that even 800 years ago your make believe country Ukraine was still a state of the Russian Empire? Wasn’t Gorbachev A Ukrainian? Lol get a book whenever you can take some time away from adding comments and posting the embarrassing flag for your historical 25 year old country, who knows after getting information from textbooks used in universities you may learn to be more like your own flesh and blood you are helping the NATO allies kill, you know those crazy people who still call themselves Russians lmao Ukrainian …..lmao
Sorry to burst your bubble but the purpose of the Mirage 2000 is to carry the Storm Shadow cruise missile the UK just gave to Ukraine. It's not to engage in air to air combat. When the Kerch bridge blows up (again) you'll know the reason.
If France sells those fighter planes, that means the US taxpayers will have paid for them! As an American taxpayer I am sick of our Government supporting Ukraine, Taiwan and every place else they spend our money!! Stop our government from picking fights everywhere all the time!!!
Blabla, you are rather a ruskov. Otherwise I am European and I am tired of paying American gas 10 times more expensive than Russian gas. You are helping uykraine with our money so shut up.
@Adrien THOS try to arm one of those planes. Air to Air missles near or over 1 million per missle. HARM missles extended range 6 million. There is no freaking way the US taxpayer doesn't pay that bill. To fully arm each plane for Air to Air fighting is at a minimum 10 million! Like you said maintenance etc 100 million is gone in a heart beat. Who has been paying the lions share of all these bills for this idiotic war? Answer the US tax payer and we should been allowed to vote on this because I and a lot of people I know are 100% against supporting ukraine in this war! Before Biden decided to dive into this war had almost zero interest to 99% of all Americans not to mention he is playing with literal fire screwing with Russia!!!!!
J'ai l'impression que Tu comprends rien au intérêt géopolitique ..si autant de pays aide l'Ukraine c'est pas pour s'amuser.. Pour nous c'est une question de sécurité, pour les usa c'est une question de suprématie, il ce sont payer l'armé russe pour moins de 5% de leur budget millitaire annuel, dequoi te plaint tu ?
Famous IT businessman Kim Dotcom explained about Russia's operation in Ukraine using a simple example: "Imagine that Russia and China would pay the Nazis to overthrow the democratically elected government in Mexico in order to make it part of their military alliance and build a military base with nuclear missiles in Mexico. Now imagine Mexico attacking the White House with a drone."
you try to convince your god to assist assasination....... this is not really a sort of islamc religion. it is a religious disguise of terrorism. your chechen "brothers" won't make a difference. too small number, too poor skills.
