As revealed by the IAF chief last week, two Indian Air Force
Mirage 2000s will leave for France next month to begin the long-delayed Mirage upgrade programme that India signed with Dassault, Thales and HAL in July this year. The Indian upgrade team has been in France for a while now training and absorbing the upgrade routine. A deal for MICA air-to-air missile, which
remained unsigned when the Mirage upgrade deal was concluded, is also expected to be cleared this week.
