The Greek Ministry of Defense wants to sell the Dassault Aviation Mirage 2000, which was decommissioned in 2022. The 18 aircraft were purchased in the 1980s and replaced by Dassault Rafale.
Since then, the aging fighter jets have been parked and waiting for better times. It now appears that India could buy the machines. According to the Kathimerini agency, initial negotiations are already underway between the defense ministries of Greece and India. Not all jets could take off again with the subcontinent's armed forces, because many of the Greeks' jets are already considered unfit to fly.
According to reports, this will only play a minor role for India, because the non-flyable Mirage 2000 would be used as a spare parts donor for its existing fleet. Currently, the Indian Air Force has 44 Mirage 2000 H/I aircraft.
It is currently still completely unclear whether there will be a deal between Greece and India. For legal reasons, the consent of the manufacturer's country must be obtained before any sale. In this specific case, this is the Greek NATO partner France, from which the replacements for the aging fighter jets that are currently for sale are also obtained.
