THE MOST ADVANCED AND LETHAL MIRAGE EVER MADE. THE DASSAULT MIRAGE 2000 5 MK2 The Dassault mirage 2000,which was a lethal fighter itself, was further improved to Mirage 2000-5, creating the Mirage 2000-5 Mark 2 which is currently the most advanced variant of the Mirage 2000. Enhancements to offensive systems included a datalink for the targeting of MICA ER missiles, the addition of the Damocles FLIR targeting pod, and a newer, stealthier Thales RDY-2 all-weather synthetic aperture radar with moving target indicator capability, which also grants the aircraft improved air-to-ground capability. The avionics were further updated with higher resolution color displays, an optional Topsight helmet- mounted display, and the addition of the Modular Data Processing Unit (MDPU) designed for the Rafale. A new Thales Totem 3000 inertial navigation system with ring laser gyroscope and GPS capability was added, providing much greater accuracy, higher reliability, and shorter alignment time than the older ULISS 52 navigation system which it replaced. Other upgrades included the addition of an on-board oxygen generation system (OBOGS) for the pilot and an ICMS 3 digital countermeasures suite.A number of upgrades makes this fighter more advanced in avionics and weapon suite. This fighter is generally seen as a competitor to the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon.In other words its a killer in the sky.
