General Overview

Role Conversion Trainer / Combat Trainer
National Origin France
Manufacturer Dassault Aviation
Crew 2 (Instructor and Trainee/Pilot)
Introduction Early 1980s (First two-seat flight was October 1980)
Relationship to 2000C Training counterpart to the single-seat 2000C fighter.

Technical Differences from 2000C

Length 14.55 m (Slightly longer than 2000C due to second cockpit)
Internal Cannon Lacks the internal 30 mm DEFA cannons of the 2000C.
Fuel Capacity Reduced internal fuel capacity to accommodate the second seat and controls.
Armament Maintains most hardpoints and the ability to carry a combat load for training purposes.
Engine SNECMA M53-P2 turbofan (Same powerful engine as the 2000C fighter)
Avionics/Radar Equipped with the same or similar fire control radar (like the RDI or RDM, depending on batch) as its single-seat counterpart.

Primary Function: The main role of the Mirage 2000B is to transition pilots from jet trainers to the high-performance delta-wing fighter. It is fully capable of most combat missions, especially air-to-air interception, but is primarily used for training due to its two-seat configuration.
