Any idea why they landed in Jamnagar? Home base should be Gwailor.

2 in france, 2 underway in HAL bengaluru, rest of the 47 birds are to be upgraded at HAL with 4-7 birds upgraded per year.
Meanwhile,HAL is upgrading the next two Mirage 2000s at its Bengaluru facility, with Dassault and Thales providing "on-the-job training". Dassault builds the airframe of the Mirage 2000, while Thales provides most of the avionics.

Business Standard toured the Mirage facility in HAL in January, and learned that the third and fourth upgraded fighter would be completed in September and November 2015 respectively. There are 120-130 technicians working in HAL's Mirage 2000 upgrade and overhaul facility in Bengaluru.

HAL would upgrade the remaining 47 Mirage 2000s without assistance, fitting in upgrade kits provided by Dassault and Thales. This would take 7-10 years.

The two fighters delivered on Wednesday are to join their respective squadrons. Two Gwalior-based IAF squadrons currently fly the Mirage-2000: Number 1 Squadron (Tigers), and Number 7 Squadron (Battle Axes). So Jamnagar was just the enroute pitstop or perhaps a break for pilots
