Bozo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi, anybody happen to know what pod were used for the first GBU-49 drops from the Mirage 2000D flying out from kandahar? PDLCT or Damocles? I am making serial 3-XK, I think. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthldr Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I haven't seen a picture of the 2000D carrying the GBU-49 over Afghanistan, but the pictures I've seen of the D carrying GBU-12'a all show the ALTIS pod in use over Afghanistan, including the jet that you mention. http://www.defense.gouv.fr/var/dicod/storage/images/base-de-medias/images/ema/afghanistan/mirage-2000d-kandahar/le-mirage-pret-a-decoller/246807-1-fre-FR/le-mirage-pret-a-decoller.jpg http://www.defense.gouv.fr/var/dicod/storage/images/base-de-medias/images/ema/afghanistan/mirage-2000d/les-mirage-2000d-a-kandahar/241157-1-fre-FR/les-mirage-2000d-a-kandahar.jpg http://www.ecpad.fr/wp-content/gallery/reporters-en-afghanistan_2007_2_1/N2007-213S25-0076.jpg?56e88c http://www.konstipation.com/stuff/frog/afghan/protectionduparkingavioqw1.jpg http://www.defense.gouv.fr/var/dicod/storage/images/base-de-medias/images/ema/afghanistan/mirage-2000d-kandahar/mise-en-place-des-mirage/246787-1-fre-FR/mise-en-place-des-mirage.jpg http://img.bemil.chosun.com/nbrd/data/10044/upfile/201207/20120714163939.jpg They are currently using the GBU-49 against ISIL/ISIS/IS in Iraq and Syria.

Bozo Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks, Scott! Ok, I'll probably go with GBU-12's then. I read in Frederic Lert's 'Mirage 2000D' book that the first GBU-49 drop in Afghanistan, from the Mirage 2000D, was 20th March, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
