La commission des finances du Sénat évalue le coût du dossier des deux Bâtiments de projection et de commandement (BPC), de type Mistral, non livrés à la Russie, entre 200 et 250 millions d'euros pour l'État français. "Si l'accord de principe trouvé avec l'Égypte se concrétise, le reversement au budget général d'une fraction du produit de la vente des BPC pourrait finalement ramener le coût pour l'État à un montant compris entre 200 millions d'euros et 250 millions d'euros", a estimé la commission des finances du Sénat.
Hors revente des BPC, l'État aurait dû supporter "une perte financière d'environ 1,1 milliard d'euros", qui aurait pu se traduire en 2015 "par un effet négatif sur le solde budgétaire de 556,7 millions d'euros", a précisé le rapport sur avis de Dominique de Legge (Les Républicains)......

Mirage 2000D with 2 GBU-12
Can be armed also with 2 GBU-22/49 or 1 GBU-16/24 or 1 SCALP also 2 Mk-82. Only GBU-49 is Laser/GPS guided.
Problem don' t have gun as Mirage 2000N planned modernized later with a gun in a pod and also armed with Mica AAM for replaced Magic retired later.
For 2 bombs a an adapter "Rafaut " AUF-2 2000, F1 first variant.
Annouced also now Mirage 2000N have a new weapon load with 4 x GBU-12* waiting pictures
under the fuselage 2 x 2 in tandem but as Mirage 2000C don' t have targeting pod then need work in tandem with Mirage 2000D or eventualy Rafale, Super Etendard and Atlantique which have also or a FAC.
*More interesting a Mirage 2000D/N patrol can attack 6 targets vs 4 otherwise. Presumably with targeting pod which take the place Mirage 2000D can't have this other hard point with 2 bombs.

Chammal: Integrating the Cassard to the American carrier battle group
Since September 25, 2015, the Cassard frigate deployed in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Chammal, joined the US carrier group CSG 12 formed around the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt and several missile destroyers and a cruiser.
Every day, in coordination with other countries in the coalition, the F18 fighters and air E2D watch planes are catapulted from the aircraft carrier to go support the Iraqi security forces fighting against terrorism. CSG's contribution to the 12 Inherent Resolve multinational operation does not end with carrier aviation: specialized escorts are required to take command of air defense zone above the Persian Gulf, which is to monitor any civil aviation activity and control the military air activity around the Gulf, especially the departing or returning from Iraq.
Integration into the joint and multinational organization requires a large technical expertise. The Cassard has demonstrated its ability to control the air and operating environment particularly dense and complex in the area, to ensure its own self-defense against a fleeting and unexpected threat, to control hunting patrols catapulted USSRoosevelt since then to ensure Overall command of the air defense of the area, including that of the aircraft carrier.
The trust established between the French and American sailors, based on regular training, a rigorous preparation and the experience gained by several years of Franco-American naval cooperation, particularly in this strategic region today allows air defense buildings French excellent interoperability with US carrier battle groups.
Launched from September 19, 2014, the Chammal operation mobilized 700 soldiers. It aims at the request of the Iraqi government and in coordination with France's allies in the region, to provide support (air and training) to Iraqi forces in the fight against the terrorist group Daech. The complete system is currently structured around twelve aircraft the Air Force fighter (six Rafale, three and three Mirage2000N Mirage2000D) Atlantique2 and a maritime patrol aircraft.
