these are mockup on a 2000C
Yup, I only see the RMV with dumb bombs on the back pylons, interesting
Do you have a specific model? I think you can submit a report to try it out
No idea
It could be
- A mockup to simulate a missile
- A data collection pod for flight testing
- A smoke pod ?
But in any case it doesn’t correspond to anything that I know of in French material.
I think I read somewhere that tests had been conducted for the introduction of guided armament on the rear points of the Mirage 2000 but that the idea had not been kept.
It’s a captive Magic, used to simulate a real one
Usually for ACM training they come with a live seeker to simulate acquiring a lock on but this one has just a mockup seeker

I think they might have overdone the whole lofting + vertical fall thing
It can especially be felt at longer ranges, where the AASM will overshoot the target, drop down, and come in clutch at 45° from the opposite direction where it was launched from (like above picture : launched from the right of the base, overshoots, and drops down with an impact of 45° from the left).
This can sometimes lead to misses if the bombs does not have enough altitude to correct the overshoot

Interesting, I will take a look tomorrow if I can.

I noticed the same problem, under 20/25 km distance they do not overshoot and fall normally but as soon as the distance is too great it overshoots

Best way to reproduce the scenario :
Fire at a base 40 km away, around 7-8 km altitude, and a bit over mach (although the speed of drop does not seem to affect it)
Does the hammer keep speed of drop or it slows down even with booster on?
it slows down, but very slowly. Had a drop at M1.3 where they ended up at M1.22 at the end of their burn, on a slight climb.
I just saw this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhz8OBisyts&t=2s
With SBU54 he can launch all the bomb to a dedicated target without any activation of the laser.
I decided to try but when I did the same test:
-Laser activate automatically
-All bombs went for the same and last target illuminated by the laser (logic)
For sure I miss something
For the laser you can desactivate it in parametre
Thank you, I just found the option do desactivate the auto laser mode.
