with Greece buying it..
it seems that most of the Mirage 2000 customers are now becoming Rafale operators.
whats missing
Brazil, Taiwan and Peru?
(although Rafale did originally win in Brazil).
What are the chances of TW and PR getting some raffies
I don't see Peru having enough $$ for it. They had hard time paying for their M2000s, so for something more expensive...
Taiwan would naturally go for US stuff, but it would highly depend on what US would be willing to sell them in case of serious crisis with PRC.
For the moment it's not that serious so still only upgraded F-16s. With current US admin, very possible they could get F-35s if things get more hot.
The M2000-5 buy was at a time the US was in good terms with PRC and so not willing to sell advanced BWR (Amraam) capable fighters to Taiwan.
Fr sold M2000-5 with Mica (and other things, lot of money went in deep pockets...), and these contracts more than off balanced the threats and pressures from PRC to France.
