Brazil may buy some Mirages (around 20?) in the future.

the 2000-9 is the name of the version for the UAE, a sort of 2000-5 Mk2 + in fact.
So Brazil could buy some 2000-5 Mk2 and could also add options, Dassault sells its planes with such or such thing, the countries have to choose what they need.
anyway a 2000-9 is just a 2000-5 Mk2 +

about avionics, in fact the 2000-5 took some things from the development of the Rafale.

With the way Dassault is marketing.. why go for a Rafale when they have been pushing the Mirage 2000 more, especially since it’ll obtain quite a bit of the Rafale’s avionics… especially since the Mirage 2000 has the advantage of having many users, combat experience, and known to be cheaper to operate than the F-16

Some informations about the Mirage 2000-9

It has the RDY-2 radar with a greater range, about 10 or 15% more than the RDY used by the 2000-5 (although it may be possible that some 2000-5 mk2 have the RDY-2)

It will carry the MICA IR (which isn’t the case for all the 2000-5 for the moment – just a matter of time) and it will carry the Black Shaheen, an export version of the Scalp / Storm Shadow

A little difference with the 2000-5, it has new larger screens in the cockpit.

The 2000-9 also has a network system which allows to share informations between the planes (as in modern aircrafts such as Rafale etc.)

The 2000-9 also has a data processing modular equipment like the state of the art aircrafts : F-22, Rafale etc…

Do you have pics of the cockpit? I’ve seen the 2000-5’s cockpit, the MFDs are rather small and it does not “look” as impressive as it’s F-16 rival..

I’ve heard that the Brazilians are being offered a Mirage 2000 variant that contains much of the avionics found in the Rafale.
