Successor to the Mirage III and F1, the 2000-01 is the prototype multirole fighter used by the French air force from 1984. Its delta wing with slats and electric controls gives it a very wide speed range: from 158 km/h to Mach 2.2! More than 600 Mirage 2000s have been built, half of which for export, and have notably been used for combat in the Gulf (1990-1991), Bosnia (1992-1995), Kosovo, Libya (2011) and Mali (2013).
