Anyone know specific details on the Mirage that took part in the attack on Gaddafi’s convoy the other day?
I’ve been searching for more information, but to no avail….of course most of us here know how bad the media is when it comes to aviation related topics. Their ignorance is always quite high it seems.
In any case, I figured I’d ask here. Was it a Mirage 2000D or a Mirage 2000-5? (Had the Mirage F-1’s left by that time?)
What weapon was used against the convoy? I have heard it was strafed, but then I’ve also heard it was hit with a GBU-12 to break it up.
If it was strafed, I would assume this means a Mirage 2000-5 or a Mirage F-1CR. Are the Mirage 2000D’s actually operational with the CC630 cannon pod?
