HISTORICAL ASPECTS:
The Mirage 2000N, operated by the French Air Force under the banner of Escadron de Chasse 2/4 "La Fayette" and based at BA 116 Luxeuil, played a vital role in the nation's nuclear deterrence strategy. Introduced in the late 20th century, the Mirage 2000N was specifically designed for carrying and delivering nuclear weapons. Its deployment with EC 2/4 showcased the squadron's commitment to this critical aspect of France's defense capabilities. In 2004, the Mirage 2000N continued its role as a nuclear deterrent, ensuring the nation's security during a period of heightened global tensions.
The Mirage 2000N saw operational use beyond its nuclear deterrence role. During its service, it participated in various conflicts and military interventions. Notably, it played a role in international missions, including NATO operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aircraft's adaptability, speed, and precision strike capabilities made it a versatile asset for air forces facing diverse operational challenges.
This 1:72 scale model is a testament to the historical significance of the Mirage 2000N and its contribution to both France's nuclear deterrence strategy and its participation in international conflicts. Aviation enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate the detailed craftsmanship and authenticity of this replica, which pays homage to the Mirage 2000N's service history.
