It has been operational with the French Air Force since 1984 and has been selected by Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Greece, India, Peru, Qatar, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. Variants of the Mirage 2000 fighters are: Mirage 2000C/B single seater and two seater variants for air defence; Mirage 2000N, two seater, designed for all weather nuclear penetration at low altitude and very high speed; Mirage 2000D, which is an upgraded version of the Mirage 2000N, for automated bombing using conventional and laser guided munitions. The Mirage 2000 has nine hard points for carrying weapon system payloads, five on the fuselage and two on each wing.

Air-to-air weapons include the MICA multi-target air-to-air intercept and combat missiles and the Magic 2 combat missiles. The aircraft can carry four MICA missiles, two Magic missiles and three drop tanks simultaneously which provides a highly extended mission time.

These include the Matra BAe Dynamics BGL 1000 laser guided bomb, Aerospatiale AS30L, Matra BAe Dynamics Armat anti-radar missile, Aerospatiale AM39 Exocet anti-ship missile, Matra BAe Dynamics rocket launchers, Matra Bae Dynamics Apache stand-off weapon, and the stealthy cruise missile, SCALP.
