In 2014, the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) operated the Mirage 2000-5DI, a two-seat variant of the advanced multirole fighter, based primarily at Hsinchu Air Base. Acquired from France in the late 1990s, the Mirage 2000-5s formed a key part of Taiwan's air defense network. The 2000-5DI served both as a combat-capable trainer and mission-ready interceptor, equipped with upgraded radar and avionics. ROCAF pilots maintained high readiness levels, regularly conducting interception drills and joint exercises in response to increasing regional tensions. Despite high maintenance costs, the Mirage 2000-5DI remained a symbol of Taiwan's advanced fighter capability and strategic deterrence.
Designed as a lightweight fighter for the French Air Force, the Dassault Mirage 2000 was first flown on March 10th, 1978. The Mirage 2000 is a fourth generation fighter based on the Mirage III. It has a delta wing, one engine, a dual-intake, and can carry a range of air-to-surface weapons, including laser-guided bombs. Variants include a single-seat or dual-seat version. The dual-seat 2000N is nuclear strike capable, armed with nuclear weapons and equipped with navigation avionics that are capable of handling air-to-ground munitions. The Mirage 2000C is a single-seat, all weather interceptor armed with high firing rate 30mm guns. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale Mirage 2000 is a sleek diecast model with crisp panel lines, manufactured with only the smallest amount of plastic. The side mounted engine intakes with fixed inlet cones are constructed in plastic for greater accuracy and the configurable canopy provides a clear view of the instrument panel, control stick and ejection seat. The rear turbine blades are easily seen inside the exhaust nozzle and the large refueling probe is mounted on the nose (in most releases). The thin yet solid metal wing features exceptional panel line details, flap and aileron actuator arms at the rear and a complete set of removable wing mounted ordnance.
