French Mirage 2000D Buzzes Troops In Africa: Epic Flyby
Published 3 years ago
French troops in Africa record a Mirage 2000D fighter jet as it buzzes overhead, motivating the hell out of everyone present.
The French forces are there as Operation Barkhane, an anti Islamist insurgent action spanning Africa's Sahel region. The operation has been ongoing since 2014 with mixed results.
The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French multirole, single-engine, fourth-generation jet fighter and is no stranger to the skies of the Sahel. The aircraft has carried out combat strikes and close air support for French troops on multiple occasions and even came to the assistance of the US Green Berets caught in a deadly Niger ambush in 2017. While the Mirage 2000 is the workhorse of the French air force, the aircraft is described as "accident prone" due to poor build quality compared to other nation's aircraft with lower price tags.
