Qatar has jets?

Yeah looks like ;-) (i didn´t know that too).
I guess they will be sent on a single public relation overflight mission to show that the arab league allso supports this, while we will contine to be the ones who will have to do the heavy lifting and of course as usuall soon will get all the hate for it.

The Mirage 2000 is a very, very nice interceptor, very comprable to the F-16Is I flew, air-to-air. The sustained turning rate on the Mirage is a bit slower, but it is (at least initially) faster.

Head-to-head, it would depend on the pilot and the weapons and senor platform -— both of which Israel has and had a considerable edge.

Regarding the topic at hand, Lybia:

The Mirage 2000 has crappy fuel capacity and crappy ordinance ability. Or rather, it can carry that stuff, but becomes a flying brick that I could take out with a Purim-sized hang over.

So, don’t expect much from the 2000s.
