READ THIS- The Mirage 2000 Mk-2

I read this story from a website called http://www.defesanet.com.br. The site is written in Portuguese, and the translation to English is not very good, so I will paraphrase:

MICA + RDY radar + Story Squadron = 40 Victories.

In November-December, 2000, at during a recent exercise at Florennes, Belgium, airbase, a group of NATO fighters conducted exercises. Two French Mirage 2000-5s from the 1/2 Cigognes (Storks) squadron won 40 virtual air to air victories to one loss against a group of Belgian and Dutch F-16s and German F-4s. In one air battle, 2 Mirage 2000-5s engaged 8 F-16s and F-4s and shot down all 8 with MICAs before the pilots knew what hit them. Throughout 12 missions, 2 Mirage 2000-5s won 40 virtual victories for the loss of 1 of its own. The MICA hit its target 75% of the time, according to the participants.

The French pilots attributed the excellent results to the MICA missile and RDY radar combination. This was done against the MLU upgraded F-16s of the Dutch and Belgians and the ICE upgraded German F-4s.

The Greek Mirage 2000-5 Mk 2s will have the improved RDY 2 radar and the Topsight helmet mounted sight from Thales, all along with the MICA missile. I don’t think the THK will be able to counter this weapon system.
