PPA with Laser switch

[arnokm]

Is that for AS-30L ?

This is a question for @jojo

[=36=Witcher]

Given a few English indicators (MRK, ECM, etc.) I would say this is an export variant anyway

As @=36=Witcher said, this is an export variant.
I can only assume, but the LASER switch is probably to arm the laser of the TGP.
There is also a TV/ RDR switch on the VTB, probably to switch the video source. 

This PPA with laser switch and VTB with TV/ RDR seem to be standard on export Mirage 2000E, even if the country didn't fit TGP in the Mirage.
For instance, you can find these switches on Mirage 2000EG like this VTB.

Great find! I was wondering about the export Mirages and their lasing capability. I wish we could fly those in the sim.

Merci Jojo.

I see the export variants seems to laser guide their mud weapons with ATLIS TGP.

Do they operate it with the RADAR Designator Joystick ?

I would guess so for the operation mode. Anyway, we also know Indian Mirages have been mostly used as precision bombers, as Indian AF likes their MiG-29 very much and considers them largely superior fighters.

I know RAZBAM doesn't plan to introduce any export variants but frankly, adding that would vastly expand the possibilities of employment while staying on the same technological level as the old basic C model (actually, I think the export Mirages retained the inferior RDM radar?).

Yes, export models were fitted with RDM radar which was not very good in look down/ shoot down.

Yes export single seat variant based on the Mirage 2000C can do much more than our DCS french version (2000C-S4 ?).

I finally found back the pdf document from where I took the pictures above :
