What you take of this….Does it stand a chance with the Blk-60 F-16?

The Mirage 2000-9 has the RDY-2 variant, which has a more sensitive receiver and greater range. While the original RDY was primarily an air-to-air radar, the RDY-2 introduces high-resolution air-to-ground modes: Doppler beam-sharpening (DBS) and synthetic-aperture radar (SAR). Combined with the Shehab infrared/laser navigation and targeting system, a UAE version of Damocles, and the Nahar navigation pod, this transforms the Mirage 2000-9 into a true multirole aircraft.

The 2000-9 has the same Modular Data Processing Unit (MDPU) mission computer as the Rafale . The Mirage 2000-9 EW system is the Integrated Multi-mission EW System (IMEWS), developed by Thales and Elettronica. The latest in a series of Thales/MBD suites that started with the Integrated Countermeasures Suite (ICMS) for the first Greek Mirage 2000s, the IMEWS incorporates radio-frequency and IR warning receivers and high-band and low-band jammers. The system on the Mirage 2000-9 Based on the largely digital, more automated ICMS Mk 3, the IMEWS adds a more powerful low-band jammer. The IMEWS is characterized by French engineers as a targeting-capable system, with more precise and faster range measurement capabilities than Spectra, allowing the Mirage 2000-9 to perform a defense-suppression mission.

The Mirage 2000-9 will be the first export fighter to carry the infra-red version of MICA. Another very important role for the Mirage 2000 in the UAE is that of a launch platform for the MBDA Black Shahine precision-guided standoff missile. A specialized development of the Apache, Storm Shadow, and Scalp EG family, Black Shahine was ordered by the UAE in late 1998.

Any comment will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance….:) 🙂
