What kind of upgrade was being done to this Mirage-2000? The recent stand off prompted this upgrade probably, the strike could have been already planned. There have been reports of engine failures in 2 seater versions of Mirage-2000

@Khafee are UAE AF Mirage 2000-9's more advanced than IAF Mirage-2000 H's or -5's ? Or are UAE AF and IAF mirages on par w.r.t upgrades and capabilities ?




" Two IAF pilots testing the upgraded Mirage 2000, Squadron Leader Samir Abrol and Squadron Leader Siddhartha Negi, were killed in the crash, which took place during a test sortie.

The aircraft which crashed on February 1 had been subjected to six test flights by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

Both Negi and Abrol were from the Aircraft and Systems Testing Establishment (ASTE). "

Im thinking what was the upgrade on a Mirage2000 being tested on 1st Feb.

was the strike planned already on 26th Feb ? what was being tested on 1st Feb ?

That upgrade was ongoing - its a comprehensive avionics and structural upgrade that is better than the UAE m2k-5 since that was nearly a generation ago.
