Overview:
By the late 1980s, the Mirage 2000 was beginning to age compared with the latest models of U.S. F-16 fighters, so Thomson-CSF began work on a privately funded update of the Mirage 2000C which was to be named the Mirage 2000-5. A two-seat Mirage 2000B prototype was extensively modified as the first Mirage 2000-5 prototype, and it first flew on October 24, 1990. A Mirage 2000C prototype was then reworked to a similar standard, making its initial flight on April 27, 1991.

The successor to Mirage III and the Mirage F1, the prototype first flew on March 10th 1979 and later entered service in 1984. The Mirage 2000-5 was developed into a multi-role fighter. The dimensions of the Mirage 2000-5 are the following: Length - 14.6m; Wingspan: 9.1m; Height: 5.2m. The features of the Mirage 2000-5 consist of a low delta wing profile. It has a single SNECMA M53 turbofan and has a sharp pointed nose. This aircraft has an 800nm range of action and the aircraft is also equipped for in-flight refuelling, if needed.

There are no variants from the Mirage 2000-5. It is much more advanced than the listed predecessors, the Mirage 2000-5 is some of the latest Mirages and has not been further developed.
