Mirage 2000EG (Greece)

Beginning in March 1985, the Greeks ordered 36 single-seat Mirage 2000EGs and 4 Mirage 2000BG two-seat trainers. * They feature an ICMS 1 defensive countermeasures suite, which is an updated version of the standard Mirage 2000C countermeasures suite and is characterized by two small antennas near the top of the tailfin. These Mirage 2000s were later modified in the field to carry the Aerospatiale AM39 Exocet anti-ship missile. * In 2000, Greece ordered a batch of 25 Mirage 2000-5 Mk.2 fighters, which feature the SATURN secure radio. The order included 15 new-build aircraft and 10 upgrades of existing Greek Mirage 2000EGs. Apparently the Greek order does not include any upgrades of two-seaters.

Mirage 2000-5 Mark 2

Dassault extended the improvements of the Mirage 2000-5 a bit further with the Mirage 2000-5 Mark 2, which is an enhanced, fully multirole version of the Mirage 2000-5. It is currently the most advanced version of the Mirage 2000.

Features: * Thales RDY-2 radar. This radar system is similar in configuration to the original RDY, but features two new air-to-ground modes, including a high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging mode with a moving target indicator (MTI) capability to provide an all-weather, day/night targeting capability. The radar features low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) operation, with the output pattern varying in a seemingly random pattern that prevents an adversary RWR from recognizing that it has been targeted. * The high-power Modular Data Processing Unit (MDPU) designed for the Rafale. * A new Thales Totem 3000 INS with ring-laser gyros and GPS capability, providing much greater accuracy, higher reliability, and shorter alignment time replaces the older ULISS 52 system. It works in conjunction with a terrain-following system. * An improved, classified ICMS 3 digital countermeasures suite. * An on-board oxygen generation system (OBOGS). * The cockpit was updated as well, retaining the same general layout but with larger color displays and other modernizations. The Thales Topsight helmet-mounted display / sighting system is offered as an option. * The Mirage 2000-5 Mark 2 includes a datalink for the targeting of MICA ER missiles and can carry the Damocles targeting pod. * Future Upgrades: Thales AIDA visual identification pod; technology used in the Rafale will be also integrated into the Mirage 2000, including infrared and optical sensors for IFF and targeting. It will be used by AdA Mirage 2000-5Fs. Further development of the second-generation type is expected to include a GPS receiver, MIDS datalink, and unspecified long-range sensors. * Topsight E helmet-mounted sight

rubbish, fake dog fight, the F16 has the tightest turn radius of any modern aircraft, in the video the F 16 is not even attempting to throw off the trailing aircraft and you can just see the F16 in a tight right turn continuously, in a real furball you would see the plane all over the place, left, right, roll, climb, dive, this video is BS....sorry. I am not Turk or Greek....so no need to flame this post.

@yusafzai08 If you knew the basic rules of aerodynamics you yould knew that the Delta wing provides more lift so less stall speed is required, plus at the video is visible the afterburner that the F-16 is using to prevent its stalling. So in conclusion the F-16 has a biger turn radius than the Mirage 2000.

interesting..you greeks still can find some money to buy some fuel..

[tasoscorsair]

@alpgg who said we ran out of money? god bless the german taxpayers.....

[transaviagekking]

@MAKAK47 because Turkish airforce planes are entering greek airspace EVERYDAY. That's because they want to have the Aegean Islands. But it's very complicated and stuff.

[Whatdoesthisdo1]

@yusafzai08 I would'nt say the dogfight was fake.. However people should take into account that the F-16 appears to be carrying tanks under the wings which will reduce its turn rate somewhat.Regardless the Mirage would still dominate in A2A combat due to a higher instantaneous turn rate.. Which would immiediately give the 2000 the upper hand.. Other then that though the F-16 is the better jet.

@yusafzai08 LOL idiot

[tasoscorsair]

@yusafzai08 First of all, read some REAL HISTORY (and not the propaganda kemalic books) and then speak. btw, how old are you?

[yusafzai08]

@transaviagekking i looked on the map, Aegean islands are right next to Turkey, and Greece is a long ways off,so I dont understand why Turks allowed Greeks to grab an island which is practically in the arm pit of Turkey. How can Greece justify this, just look at the map.....you western christian nations are bullies and land thieves.

@FanatikosKafetzis yea yea kurdish dogs are just traitors and pussies like you,they just can place mines and put some ambush and dying like dogs..

[FanatikosKafetzis]

@alpgg

Of course you are the losers. We are free!!! And also we will take back Constantinople!! Just like the Kurdish people liberate themselves today, so did we in the past!

Accept your loss.....

[alpgg]

@FanatikosKafetzis yea yea, readers will think as we are the looser ones since 600 years in the world..

be a man, accept your loss, 1 loss doesnt retrieve everything..

@alpgg
