Thanks. Unfortunately no info about the numbers. It's a pretty old plane so quantity would be great in that regard.

It’s a pretty old plane

True it's originally from 1978, but that still makes it slightly newer than F16!! And the Mirage 2000-5 is an updated version of the 2000.
I have no idea how good this plane is, but if it can help Ukraine I'm all for it.

I’d say they’re at least as good as the old MiG-29s everyone was donating to them for a while. Also, can use NATO missiles.

It helps to also update the text I found. So just add adit: updated link because original link didn't work for some users. And that does usually trigger update.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
