A Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft of the French Air Force. The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French multirole fighter aircraft from Dassault Aviation. The aircraft was the successor to the Dassault Mirage III and thus also bears a strong resemblance externally; technologically, however, it is a completely newly developed aircraft. The Mirage 2000 was exported to many countries. The first operational version became the Mirage 2000C, a single-seat air defence fighter. In 1984, the first squadron of the French Air Force became operational. 124 examples of this type were purchased.
