(Amerika) Luftstreitkräfte Brasiliens

[Jacks]

Es sind wohl die ältesten noch im Gebrauch befindlichen Mirage 2000 der französischen Luftwaffe.
Erst wurde spekuliert ob sie nur geleast werden.

Passend dazu.

Brazil will conclude the interim purchase of 10 Dassault Mirage 2000C fighters and two Mirage 2000B trainers during president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s visit to France in mid-July, according to Brazilian air force sources. The Brazilian and French governments are finalising the deal, which will involve the delivery of surplus French air force aircraft to replace Brazil’s Mirage IIIEBR fighters. The interim purchase is required following Brazil’s cancellation earlier this year of the air force’s next generation F-X BR fighter programme.

The secondhand aircraft are expected to receive Thales-supplied RDI radars under a $72 million modernisation package that also includes airframe overhaul and standardisation work, minor mission system upgrades and spare parts. France will also supply flight and ground crew training under the programme, which sources indicate is already under way at Chateaudun airbase.

Zum Preis kann man nur sagen (wie bereits erwähnt) das da wohl auch politische Motive hinterstecken ...
