Well, haven't RAF Tornado F3s ever done any DACT with Armee de l'air
Mirage 2000s or had any close encounter with Iraqi or Serb MiGs?

I vaguely remember Osprey's 'Tornado Pilot' had a very brief story on
the DACT between Tornado F3 and Mirage 2000C... Simulated combat
results between the two might help find which of the two is better in
OCA...

As I understand it, both Tornado F2/F3 and Mirage 2000C/5F were
designed more or less as bomber interceptors, not as a dedicated air

After the end of Cold War, they had to adapt to new roles in entirely
different envirionments. Which of the two managed to adapt more
successfully? I know none of them scored a single kill over Iraq and
former Yugoslavia, but at least they contributed to the effort to
enforce the no-fly-zones.

It may not be an entirely fair question because they've yet to have the
chance to prove themselves in combat. It's been a while since the RAF
and Armée de l'air faced an enemy that was prepared to come out and
fight. In the case of Britain I think it was Argentina. When was the
last French air-air victory?
