Jordanian Mirage 2000 ..?

Yes.
Reportedly, one single-seater and one two-seater were already in the flight-test process in 1990.
Then SH went on his Kuwait adventure and Jordan sided with Iraq.. and the Jordanian Mirage 2000 deal was cancelled.
Are any photos known oft the two Jordanian Mirages ?
And what has happened with them.. maybe converted for another customer (Taiwan?) ?

[jojo]

What is the source for that ???

Jordan Agrees to Buy 20 French Mirage Jets
February 05, 1988|From Reuters

PARIS — Jordan agreed on Thursday to equip its air force with the French-built Mirage 2000 warplane in preference to the West European Tornado and the Soviet MIG-29, French officials said.
The officials said French Premier Jacques Chirac and Jordanian Prime Minister Zaid Rifai signed a memorandum of understanding on the purchase of 20 Mirage 2000s and the modernization of 15 Mirage F-1s.

Il me semble que c'est l'Arabie Saoudite qui finançait le contrat et elle n'a pas apprécié la prise de position jordanienne...
Les plus cyniques pourraient y voir également l'ombre US alors prompte à venir assister les Saoudiens contre Saddam. Du coup, les Jordaniens ont fini par acheter des F-16...

Encore une promesse non tenue de Chirac
