Military Expert Damantsev: Russian Su-35S, MiG-31BM, and Su-30SM2 Fighters Can Counter the Mirage-2000-5

Russian MiG-31BM, Su-35S, and Su-30SM2 fighters are capable of effectively countering the French Mirage-2000-5 combat aircraft on the line of contact (LBS). This was stated by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

The analyst noted that the weapon control systems of both the Mirage-2000-9 and Mirage-2000-5 are adapted to use MICA-IR missiles with bi-spectral jam-resistant infrared homing heads (IR GSN), as well as MICA-EM air combat missiles with active radar homing heads with a "fire-and-forget" mode.

The effective range is 50-60 km, with available overloads of up to 50 units, which is achieved through gas-jet thrust vectoring systems. These parameters ensure the interception of airborne objects maneuvering with overloads of up to 25G.

Also, the Mirage modifications are equipped with modern multi-mode airborne RDY and RDY-2 radars, capable of detecting airborne targets with an RCS of 3 sq. m at a distance of 130 - 140 km, which puts them on par with the Russian Su-27SM and Su-27SM3. Therefore, the most effective means of countering the Mirage-2000-5/9 fighters will still be the MiG-31BM, Su-35S, and Su-30SM2 multi-functional fighters with R-37M, RVV-SD, and R-27ER air combat missiles.
