The Dassault Mirage 2000 has been a cornerstone of the Indian Air Force since the 1980s. Known for its agility, speed, and precision, the Mirage has successfully executed some of India’s most important military operations, including the Kargil War and Balakot airstrikes. With a top speed of Mach 2.2, advanced radar systems, and the ability to carry laser-guided bombs and air-to-air missiles, it excels in both offensive and defensive roles. Over the years, upgrades have kept the Mirage 2000 relevant, ensuring that it continues to play a critical role in safeguarding India’s airspace.
