The Mirage 2000-5 is an upgraded variant of the Mirage 2000. It was introduced in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation and has made sporadic appearances since, replacing the Mirage 2000 and the Mirage 2000D from previous installments.
History
Strangereal
In the Strangereal universe, the Mirage 2000-5 was developed as an evolution of the original Mirage 2000 model, combining its air combat abilities with the ground attack capacity of the Mirage 2000D. By the early 21st century, the aircraft was chiefly operated as a multipurpose frontline aircraft by Emmeria and Estovakia. Certain models were used by the former as a testbed for engine thrust research, limited solely to flight tests.[1]
During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, the Estovakian Air Force deployed multiple Mirages in the Invasion of Gracemeria and throughout the course of the conflict.[2] Estovakian ace Jakov Vabec, callsign "Oblako", was shot down by Talisman while defending Ragno Fortress.[3] Notable Emmerian units included the Air Force's Sky Kid Squadron, which helped defend Silvat Town,[4] recapture Gracemeria,[5] and destroy the Chandelier.[6]
Mirages continued to be fielded in the Lighthouse War, they were operated by both sides. A notable Mirage pilot was Nathan Roche, callsign "Foudre", of the Erusean Air Force, who took part in Operation Dragon Breath, but was shot down by Trigger.[7] It was also used by Spare Squadron member Tabloid.[8]
On June 30, 2020, multiple Ustio Air Force Mirages were showcased at the Redmill Air Force Base Belkan War anniversary.[9]
Assault Horizon universe
In the Assault Horizon universe, the 2000-5 was created by Dassault Aviation during the Cold War in response to a perception of insufficient performance by the basic 2000 model against the F-16C Fighting Falcon. The aircraft entered service with the French Air Force in 1997, fulfilling a role as a surface and air combatant.
In 2015, the Armée de l'Air dispatched the Lion Squadron as part of the French detachment of NATO's Task Force 108 under the command of Pierre La Pointe. The squadron fought with Warwolf Squadron and the Russian Red Moon Squadron in several battles against the insurgent movement ravaging East Africa, including at the NATO headquarters in Hamada.[10]
Infinity universe
The 2000-5 was developed in the Infinity universe under the same circumstances by Dassault Aviation, but the production of the aircraft was assumed by Wernher and Noah Enterprises after the Ulysses Disaster. Although the acquisition of the aircraft under national militaries is unclear, the aircraft was a low-level multipurpose aircraft used by mercenaries of the United Nations Forces.[11]
During the uprising of the USEA Federation, the aircraft was operated as a frontline aircraft by the organization's air forces, along with the MiG-29A Fulcrum and the MiG-21bis. Customized "White Tiger" models were encountered by Arrows Air Defense and Security in May 2019 during a mission over Comona Base in the West Indies, which were developed by Wernher in limited numbers during Operation Eternal Liberation.[11]
Game Analysis
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
- "A light fighter with delta wings and no horizontal tail wing. The 2000-5 was heavily modified into a multirole type. The base aircraft Mirage 2000 featured fly-by-wire, giving it high-level stability and agility, so the addition of modified avionics and souped-up anti-surface capabilities made it an excellent multirole fighter. Nicknamed "Mirage," the 2000-5 model has successfully been sold abroad and is widely used in those countries."

- "Developed as an advanced air force aircraft, this tailless delta style, small combat aircraft is in service in several countries including the French Air Force. Its light weight results in excellent acceleration performance. The most recent model, the Mirage 2000-5, has improved multiple targeting capabilities from its RDY radar, and it is also furnished with such features as a modernized cockpit gauge, all of which rapidly elevate its combat potential. Its nickname is Mirage."
