They still do, the D model is currently deployed. Operation Barkhane, the Mirages based in Niamey, Niger.

The C models just returned home for good, supporting the Ds with guns and twin store carrier for 2 LGBs ...

Hello Paul

Try the following link with plenty of Mirage 2000 D photos, taken in N'Djamena during operation Barkhane:

I think the link had been already posted here on BM by one of our members. Unfortunately, I have forgotten by whom or in which forum so my apologies to the original poster. Cheers

Jure

P.S.: The original link, posted by AV O (thanks!) in Resources sub-forum, can be seen here:

looking at Niamey Airport, Niger, on Googlemaps shows some French AF aircraft. including a Predator-like drone! There is also a VC-10

I flew to Niamey few months ago... I also saw German C-160, French C-135FR and Atlantique. And a Ramstein marked US C-130J came in shortly after us. I didn't manage to spot any fighters while I was there though.
