Mirage 2000 Thread : Variants, performance, characteristics and sources

[Mathll]

I’ll see if I’m going to buy it, the problem is that I currently have a lot of sources but none of them give identical information, the only thing that is more or less certain is that the air-to-air capacity is very poor on the original version (the plane would have trouble finding a KC-135 at more than 5nm) so I’m not sure of the relevance of what I can say.

The radar would have been improved many times but the documents are confidential and I have no information apart from their names (Antilope 5, 5-3C, 53C, 53C/D, 5-3D, 50 and 5 TC)

For the moment the radar is missing A-G Modes as well, while it is WIP it can be reported. Basic A-A Modes (ACM and SRC) is here.

Is there any chance of getting chaff back to 1 pop?

[Sakyuz]

Basic A-A Modes (ACM and SRC) is here.

what? i just test flew both D R-1 and D RMV and the only thing they have access to is A2G search and A-A ACM

[Mathll]

SRC mode is surprising so far, it allows you to find moving tanks and boats

[WaretaGarasu]

Well you are correct apologies, just checked now

[WaretaGarasu]

Hello @Mathll. Do you have any pictures of Antilope V?

[vizender]

@WaretaGarasu i guess it’s you that put my report fixed. Do you need me to make another report for the 5F and 5EI ? Or is it already good internally ?

[WaretaGarasu]

Already done.

[Sakyuz]

reports about what?

[vizender]

5F and 5EI counter measures are still slightly incorrect

[Mathll]

I got that

Spoiler

The antenna is supposed to be wider than it is tall

[vizender]

Actually it’s the inverse. It’s not tilted to the side, but to the bottom

This is also an antilope apparently, but it’s not the same as yours exactly, so the exact variant could be different

[Mathll]

Yes it is possible, the radar has apparently changed quite a bit over the years

Otherwise, a quick question: is Forecast International considered a reliable source? I found one of their articles that talks about the capabilities of the Antelope5.

would check out, as the photo mentions 5 TC and not the normal 5, prob the one which @Mathll send is the basic ANTILOPE 5, and the one on your photo is 5 TC.

Antilope 5 TC:

No, It is not considered a reliable source.

[vizender]

Considering the RMV is the most modern 2000D in service, wouldn’t any source about the « best » radar be used for the RMV (such as the V TC instead of the regular V) ?

[Mathll]

@WaretaGarasu Can Forecast International be considered a reliable source?

I have this document that announces possible radar modes :
Microsoft Word - rs5767.doc

"A number of secondary
capabilities complementary to the delivery mission exist,
including air-to-air search, air-to-air tracking, air-to-air
combat, air-to-surface search, air-to-surface tracking and
air-to-surface ranging. "

@Mathll

No

[Mathll]

My bad, didn’t see your previous answer
