The Mirage 2000N was the [[nuclear warfare|nuclear strike]] variant which was intended to carry the Aerospatiale Air-Sol Moyenne Portee (ASMP) nuclear stand-off missile. Initial flight tests of two prototypes began on 3 February 1983, and the Mirage 2000N entered operational service in 1988. A total of 75 were built.<ref name="Newdick2015">{{cite book|author=Thomas Newdick|title=The World's Greatest Military Aircraft: An Illustrated History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2Pg_CwAAQBAJ&pg=PT320|date=22 December 2015|publisher=Amber Books Ltd|isbn=978-1-78274-277-7|pages=320–}}</ref> The fighter had strengthened wings for low-altitude operations, as well as low-level precision navigation/attack systems, built around the Dassault/Thales Antilope 5 radar, which was designed for the strike role and featured a terrain-avoidance capability.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}}

The [[Air-Sol Moyenne Portée|ASMP]] missile is 5.38 meters long with a [[kerosene]]-powered [[ramjet]] that allows it to cruise at [[Mach number|Mach]] 3 to a maximum range of 300&nbsp;km carrying a [[nuclear warhead]] with a yield of 300&nbsp;kt.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}}

====Upgrades====
* The existing kit was enhanced to provide an [[electronic intelligence]] (ELINT) capability, allowing the aircraft to record data on adversary emitters for post-flight intelligence analysis.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}}
* A SAT Samir "Detecteur de Depart Missile (DDM)" missile-warning system was also added, being attached to the back of the Magic AAM pylons.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}}
* Future upgrades include the addition of a Pod Reco NG (''Pod de Reconnaissance Nouvelle Generation'') to provide digital reconnaissance capabilities, with both day and night imagers, a digital data recorder system, and a [[datalink]] to provide real-time relay of imagery to battlefield commanders. It is being developed by Thales for service introduction in 2006.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}}

Aircraft with the updated [[countermeasure]]s system and capable of carrying both the ASMP-A missile and the Pod Reco NG will be redesignated "Mirage 2000N-K3".

As it is forbidden to export them, they are being dismantled for parts with some being donated to French museums. 3 remain with the [[Direction générale de l'armement|DGA]] for testing.

Currently, four aircraft are preserved: 305-116-CS,<ref>https://www.airhistory.net/photo/699050/305</ref> 336-116-BI,<ref>https://www.airhistory.net/photo/470221/336</ref> 337-116-BF,<ref>https://www.airhistory.net/photo/705757/337</ref> and 349-116-BM,<ref>https://www.airhistory.net/photo/682200/349</ref> all of which are in good condition with no missing parts.
