The Mirage 2000-5 was the last addition to the Mirage 2000 family of combat aircraft.It was designed as a multirole aircraft, building on the development work and experience gained with the other Mirage 2000s (Mirage 2000C, Mirage 2000N and Mirage 2000D). The aircraft is equipped with specially adapted versions of the latest weapons and equipment.It is powered by a 9.8 tonne SNECMA M53-P2 turbofan engine with afterburner thrust, optimised for the effective fulfilment of all combat missions in a very extensive flight envelope (60,000 ft / 18,000 m, Mach 2.2).The Mirage 2000-5 is available in single-seat and two-seat versions. The two-seater has all the operational capabilities and performance of the single-seater. It can also be used for advanced pilot training. The two-seat version has been ordered for export (Taiwan, Qatar, and Greece). The aircraft entered service in the French Air Force with squadrons EC 1/2 Cigognes and EC 2/2 Côtes d’Or at Dijon air base in 1999. The Mirage 2000-5 aircraft operated by the French Air and Space Force now belong to the 2nd Fighter Squadron stationed at Airbase 116 Luxeuil Saint-Sauveur.They form part of Squadron EC 1/2 Cigognes. Some aircraft are assigned to the Military Air Expertise Centre (CEAM) in Mont-de-Marsan for experimental use. Important Notice: This is a detailed scale model intended for adult collectors.
