Mirage 2000? Man, after we picked F-16A/B over it in the 1990s and now someone wants to bring 2nd hand Mirage 2000 here?

I get it, I get it, that our air power is severely lacking and that we need to build up as quickly as possible. But this is beyond absurd.

I hope that this is just a trolling and not being considered at all, taken to measure public opinion - especially military and defense enthusiasts - on this matter.

Not too bad?

Who Will Get The UAE's Mirage 2000-9 Fighters?

If the UAE passes on its Mirages in the next few years, the recipient won't be acquiring some rusted-out second-hand jets with antiquated systems and weapons.

this variant is rather interesting, perhaps medan merdeka office want to seek a fighter with maritime strike capability and not for main air to air combatant role ? the UAE mirage can actually bring storm shadow/SCALP cruise missile.

can ship launched exocet be integrated for air launched mission ?

can ship launched exocet can be integrated for air launched missile ?

That is mm40.
Air launched is am39.

 

[Gary]

Talking about AM39, could we bring back this ?

I don't think we're getting any Poseidon's or Harpoons

Dont forget Helos with Exocet

 

[Lordimperator]

what do you think?
When big red come in here,
Do our 120mm L44 armed Leopards and 105mm Harimau already enough or we still need to invest in 130mm MBT?
Do we need more Javelin or NLAW, or put more on standard RPG?

Are these related to AirForce?

Sorry wrong place

the UAE mirage can actually bring storm shadow/SCALP cruise missile.

Still, it's hard to justify this purchase as interim project even with that reasoning.

MOD want buy Mirage from UAE??

Just a mere 14? Ain't worth the trouble.

 

[Umigami]

That 36 Rafales batch 2 got cut to 23 and this 14 Mirage 2000 is to compensate it. O... Kay...

More info:

5 units from Qatar and 9 units from UAE.
Contract already signed, Bappenas and MoF already agree.

Nor now I'll take it as kabar burung.

 

[Umigami]

So when we can't get 42 units Rafale target, we compensate it with 2nd hand mirage.

Then If we can't get 36 units Eagle 2 target, what's we gonna do?
Take 2nd hand Eagle C/D/E or J or S ?

If MoD can't get enough number of F-15, will they also get second hand F-16 for interim?

Rafale and Mirage are basically the same class from French. So they could search for heavy fighter from the same country which is Eagle too.

 

[Gary]

What's the point ? why not seek 2nd hand F-16s ? why ?

 

[Lordimperator]

So 6 + 23 rafale, 29,for 2 squad?
Little bit sad it is not up to 36 like rumored before
(48 > 36 > 6+36 > 6+23*latest)

 

[Lordimperator]

What's the point ? why not seek 2nd hand F-16s ? why ?

Maybe lobbies from French and MEA nations, which they are trying to get rid off their mirage fleet.

 

[Umigami]

1. Preparing IAF to get Rafale, might be this is somenkind of deal with French too.

2. 08 is Francophile.

(Wait, all this we thought he love double engines so much right? Well, turn out that might be not entirely true.)
