agelos2005 Posted August 15, 2024 Share Posted August 15, 2024 Hi all Can anybody tell me what this mirage 2000 possibly carries in the centre pylon and the opposite from the lantirn pod? Clearly carries a lantirn pod but what carries on the opposite side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted August 15, 2024 Share Posted August 15, 2024 It's not a Mirage 2000B but it's KT201: an Indian Air Force Mirage 2000TI which itself is an upgraded 2000TH. I hope an IAF experten chimes in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Weasel V Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 By no means knowledgeable on the Indian Air Force, but I do know a little bit about Israeli weapons (mainly those carried on Kurnasses/ F-4E Terminators 😀) and looking at this photo of the same aircraft which has better exposure of the underside: https://www.airliners.net/photo/India-Air-Force/Dassault-Mirage-2000TI-Vajra/5494775/L?qsp=eJxtjbEOgkAQRP9lawoJguY6aSy18Ac2e6NegnDZ20JC%2BHfPI7Gym7w3mVlIptHwttscQY4SWOVJFUVWfiVyC3FQUb5bzynIVtvv2qb6iTNG6H9Frj623aGiNKn1cz7wbDiJIBo8bfyiHvpVSFKeH3mnzgF6LZmaLnMfUhy4bMA4DLSuH%2BpJPp0%3D Although similar, the pod would be Litening III rather than Lantirn, as the Indians acquired the former to supplant/replace the French ATLIS; the centreline carries a Popeye PGM, and the opposite inner pylon has a Matra MICA AAM - same missile as carried on the starboard outer station.
