*To the contrary of what most people think that Qatar has a 19 000 strong armed forces:

"The Qatar Armed Forces are the military forces of Qatar. The country maintains a military force of approximately 104,100 men, including an army (65,000), navy (21,400), Emiri Guard (20,400), ISF (15,000) and air force (3,700). Furthermore, since 2015, Qatar implemented mandatory military conscription with an average of 2000 graduates per year.[3] As of 2010, Qatar's defence expenditures added up to a total of $1.913 billion, about 1.5% of the national GDP, according to the SIPRI."

Yes, 36 F-15QA
12 optional Rafales were added recently that makes it 36 too.. haven't you seen the news?
Actually Qatari sources say 15 M2k.. but you might be right, I've heard 12 before too..

9 Single seaters and 3 twin seaters for the Mirage 2000-5.

 

[The SC]

There might have been a mistake there.. but no one is talking about the Qatari Mirage F-1..

They are retired aren't they?

 

[The SC]

They are retired aren't they?

They seem in good condition, maybe they kept a few for Reckon and count them with M2k in total..

 

[Avicenna]

That makes no sense.

I buy that they may be kept in reserve. But a Mirage F1 is a Mirage F1.
