I have played the Mirage 2000-5F alot recently and think its a really good plane, so i informed myself a bit about it and noticed that multiple websites state that it could carry the AASM 250 and is using it in Ukraine so i wonder why doesnt the 5F have it ingame?

5F we have in game in french service didn’t get ground munitions at all
fair
It has PGM-2000 and PGM-500
exactly
irl
And laser Nords aka the best thing on it. 2 laser nords,2 GBU-12,TGP,2 Magics,3 MICA used to be busted loadout
Probably need a primary source for them being fitted to that airframe and to submit a bug report
The Mirage 2000-5Fs that the Ukrainians received were modified to use AASM and SCALP (according to the French government). However, it seems to me that no images or statements of the use of these weapons have been published so far, so we don’t even know if the modification is effective.
Generally speaking, the 2000-5F’s air-to-ground weapons should simply be removed (as with the Taiwanese version).
I don’t even know why they added them in the first place, these weapons were never tried by french Mirages and only the 2000-9 of the UAE can fire it
theres an picture with the 5F carrying hammers
“Multi-role was missing in french airforce” but instead of making a Mirage 2000-9 and give it as Squadron vehicule,… they gave us that stupidity merging every other Mirage 2000-5 other than Taiwan ones.

I really want the image because at the moment I can’t find anything
And if you’re talking about the image just below, it has absolutely nothing to do with it, the plane in the image is a CEV plane and the image was taken during tests following the end of the AASM design almost 10 years ago.
Spoiler
In this case, the Mirage 2000-5F are not even compatible with air-to-ground weapons, so it is not the same thing.
The weapons that were put on them are a mix between those of the 2000-9 (multirole version of the UAE) and those of the 2000-D. In the French army, the 2000-5 do not have air-to-ground weapons because they cannot carry them (as far as possible, unguided bombs or rockets could be carried, but no more).

Swiss F18 doesn’t either and still has it.
This is not the same situation as noted just above, the F-18s that Switzerland bought have the capacity to have air-to-ground weapons but the government made the choice not to equip them and to use them only as an air-to-air platform. The Mirage 2000-5F on the other hand just does not have the capacity to fire air-to-ground munitions, the aircraft does not have the wiring for it
