The Mirage 2000-5, an evolution of its predecessor, the 2000C, is the oldest aircraft in service with the French air force. In service for almost 25 years, this model is certainly less powerful than the Rafale, destined to replace it by 2030, but it is far from obsolete. It remains an essential part of the defense of the French skies as well as external operations, notably under the aegis of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

It was designed in the late 1970s as a lightweight fighter to replace the Mirage III for the French Air Force (Armée de l'air).
It was later developed into the Mirage 2000N and 2000D strike variants, the improved Mirage 2000-5, and several export variants. Over 600 aircraft were built and it has been in service with nine nations.
