When trying to use the French fighter Mirage 2000 for air battles from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or bombing near the front line, they will be promptly knocked down. This is stated by a message from the Russian State Corporation Rostec.
In “Rostec” they called Mirage 2000 “old man” with short “hands.”
“Mirage-2000” is a morally obsolete plane, which in terms of flight and technical characteristics is not very different from the F-16 and is significantly inferior to modern Russian machines. If you take his fighter capabilities, then this is a mediocre plane with a very short “hand”. The effective range of its operation for air targets of the “fighter” type can be estimated at a maximum of 50 kilometers, and, most likely, even less. For comparison: the length of the “hands” when working in the air of Russian fighters Su-35s, Su-30SM2 or MiG-31 reaches several hundred kilometers, that is, many times more, ”the Rostec says.
The Russian company believes that “as a fighter, like the F-16, the French Mirage 2000 can be used only in deep rear,” where it will try to chase Russian cruise missiles and distant drones. “
“When trying to use” French “for air battles or bomb strokes near the front, they will be promptly knocked down,” said Rostec.
At the same time, in Komapnii it is believed that fighters “can be used as carriers of Scalp/Storm Shadow cruise missiles, but only if France transferred the planes in the last modification, which is great doubt”.
. ”
, however, in this case, they will not give new quality compared to the Soviet Su -24 Ukrainian troops that are already using these missiles, ”the company said.
