EVX | Direction Générale de l'Armement Dassault Mirage 2000B | 501
This was clearly my highlight of the Bastille Day military parade on July 14th, 2021. The DGA (Directorate General of Armaments, Direction Générale de l'Armement in French) celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2021. For the occasion, they sent a Mirage 2000 and two Alphajets for the parade over Paris.
I was lucky to be invited in Evreux AFB for the departure of the fighters taking part in the parade over Paris.
This Mirage 2000B is very different from the others: as you can see, it is equipped with a Rafale nose cone. Indeed, this airframe is used as a Rafale test bed with the RBE2 radar and the OSF. One of its other particularities is the absence of the refuelling probe, making it look like a Peruvian Mirage 2000.
