General Grievous Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) Brazilian government has decided to buy 12 second-hand Mirage 2000C from France for substituing its Mirage III force. The F-X project, which was intended to be the starter order ($700 million) for re-equipment of brazilian air force (potentially a multi-billion business) is in the freezer for a indefinite time.

Grizzly Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 for al long time, Brazil intended to licence built 2000-5 (this project is still in the pipes) Link to post Share on other sites
Flex Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) 12 Mirage 2000C with RDI 2.5 radars. R-530D and R-555 Magic II possible, no MICAs can be integrated. And here comes the best one. The price for the whole package - $70 mil !! That might have finally been decisive. Russian offer for used Su-27S came too late.. Great aircraft for that money, me thinks.. The machines will be ex-Armee L'Air ones, I don't expect any other than standard camo scheme.. Edited June 12, 2005 by Flex Link to post Share on other sites

jotter Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 ... I can see ... more decals to draw ... skyraider :lol: Hey skyraider! any word on Rafale decals? You had posted a topic to measure interest in that subject Link to post Share on other sites
skyraider Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The Rafale Decals are finished 99.9%, but I need time to draw the instruction sheet. The 4-view drawings of the aircraft take allways a lot of time to complete, and it's somehow a boring work to do... I'll get throu. skyraider Link to post Share on other sites
