F-16 versus Mirage 2000

Been a few years - I think that is the mission where you are taught to be a considerate flight leader by using your wingmen as expendable decoys!

That early 1990s Mirage had a few similarities to an F-16A if that implementation is anything to go by.

Chinese language (Taiwanese? Mainland?) performance table for mirage 2000-5.

Found this from an old AFM issue. Performance figures say are from Dassault. Their own Mirage 2000 numbers pretty much match Viperzero's above post. Dassault's figures seem off for what they give for the F-16C (don't know which one?, even the Block 42 with 2 Aim-9 and full gun ammo still turns better than that). And possibly for the Hornet.

Translated paper on RDY by the designers. Pretty interesting.
