Mirage 2000-5Mk.2 is a strategic capability platform for Hellenic Air Force. Due to SCALP-EG ... which is classified as sub-strategic ground aircraft, with a nominal radius of 250 km
The Mirage 2000-5Mk.2 is by far the most advanced air-to-air platform in the Hellenic Air Force. With capabilities that are not even intellectually present in any other type of fighter. The RDY-2 radar that "wears" the fighter, in addition to its larger target-beam radius than the Block 52+ APG-68 (V) 9, can detect and track up to 24 flying targets independently of their flight level! Of these, RDY-2 can automatically "blush", classify eight as the most dangerous and automatically encapsulate up to four. Against them it can launch a cobblestone (with a split time per missile) of MICA EM and IR numbers
The big trump of the RDY-2 in air-to-air engagements beyond the optical horizon (BVR), of course, is not only the automatic trapping of not one but four targets at a time. It's a risk assessment of the target ... If, for example, the system detects two targets, one that flies 20 miles at a speed of 300 knots and a cruise altitude of 5,000 feet and one that flies 40 miles at a speed of 400 knots. and at a height of 30,000 feet, it WILL NOT be the first to shoot the one closest! He will choose the one best suited (envelope as it is called in aviation) to launch a BVR rocket. That is, he will choose the one who has the MOST MOBILE ENERGY. The one who flies faster at higher altitudes and is therefore able to fire his weapons giving them clearly better kinematic performance!
It's something that everybody in the Greek F-16's flying freely admits. Even when many years ago the Greek Mirage 2000EGs had not yet been fitted with the mid-range R-530D, the dissimilar "blinds" the F-16's radars until they came into contact and virtually launched Magic II Even today all Greek flying fighters confirm that the RWR of the old ICMS 2000Mk.1 is better than the ASPIS II… For the newer ICMS 2000Mk.3 no reason to do so!
