Two upgraded Mirage 2000 fighter aircrafts landed at Jamnagar Airbase of the IAF from Istres, France, today.
Defence major Dassault Aviation had delivered the first two upgraded aircrafts to IAF just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit to France earlier this month, where he had declared India’s intent to buy 36 Rafale fighters through direct military sale.
“During their long flight, the Mirage 2000 had stop overs at Athens, Luxor, Doha,” Sitanshu Kar, Chief spokesperson of the Defence Ministry said.
The acceptance ceremony was held at Istres, Dassault Aviations Flight Test Centre.
The contract for the upgrade of Indian Mirage 2000 fleet was inked in July 2011 and the maiden flight of its first upgraded Mirage 2000 was completed successfully by Dassault Aviation on October 5, 2013, following a two year development phase dedicated to the equipment kit including the radar, the electronic warfare suite and the mission computer. The rest of the fleet will be upgraded in Bangalore under the responsibility of HAL and with the complete support and involvement of Dassault Aviation and Thales teams.作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-23 12:20 标题: 剩下需要升级的幻影2000，将由HAL负责在印度班加罗尔升级，并由泰勒斯电子团队和达索航空全力支持及参与。 作者: 老会计 时间: 2015-4-23 12:20 标题: 改良为Mirage 2000-5 Mk2，RDY-2雷达并增加可对地攻击模式，导航装置改良并加装GPS，资料处理能力提升，强化电子作战。
