FAB hunting: price of the aircraft is near to luxury
São Paulo-for a price close to that of luxury as Bugatti, Koenigsegg and Pagani, you can take home-if she has a landing strip, of course-a more powerful machine, quick and exciting (albeit old): a French Mirage 2000 Jet.
Eight fighter units were put up for sale by the Brazilian air force three years after his retirement from active service in 2013. The initial value is $ 2.5 million for each copy.
Produced by Dassault in the early 1980, a batch of 12 Mirage 2000 (ten race cars and two two-seaters) were purchased used from the Armé De l'air (French air force) in2006 for 80 million euros to serve as interim replacements of older Mirage III yet.
With the designation F-2000, they operated at Annapolis (GO), next to the Federal District, and were disabled in 2013 due to operational costs and proximity to the end of life-that could be elongated with a reform budgeted at tens of millions of euros that the Government considered unfeasible financially. The Jets will be replaced by the Swedish Saab Gripen fighter from 2019.
Powered by a Snecma M53-5 with 8998 kg of thrust, the Mirage 2000 is an interceptor capable of exceeding Mach 2.0 (twice the speed of sound, or more than 2400 km/h) the 16500 m altitude, and has a range of up to 3000 km when equipped with three auxiliary fuel tanks in the wings.
It also features air-to-air refuelling probe. When in service, was equipped with multifunction radar, air-to-air missiles of short and medium range, and two 30 mm cannons under the wings, can be loaded more than 5 tons of bombs and missiles.
