The Dassault Mirage 2000N is a variant of the Mirage 2000 designed for nuclear strike. It formed the core of the French air-based strategic nuclear deterrent. The Mirage 2000D is its conventional attack counterpart. Although it looks like a Mirage 2000 trainer, it was actually used as a fighter-attack aircraft.
