French speaking (so essentially french ones) specialised press and magazines have made a few issues on that bird.
She was designes as a sort of concurrent for bireactor such as the F-15 and the Tornado. As the support for the plane by the french state disappaered following the oil crisis of 1979 and the subsequent economic crise in 1980's France, the project became "dassault only". The Mirage 2000 was at that time seen as a better solution: lighter, cheaper. But France will lack a true heavy and powerfull interceptor "F-15 like".
Actually, the only hope for the plane was a saoudi contract (I have read, also of an Iraki interest), that may have triggered a french command and other exportations. Unfortunately, they didn't choose it, so the plane was eventually cancelled.
I would like to see that bird in SF series! :yes:
