Background:

The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a multirole, single-engine, delta wing, fourth-generation jet fighter designed and produced by the French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation.

Work on what would become the Mirage 2000 originated with the "Delta 1000" project launched in 1972. In contrast to other projects that Dassault had recently worked on, such as the Anglo-French Variable Geometry (AFVG) and Mirage G, the Delta 1000 was an interceptor first and a strike aircraft second while retaining a more affordable single engine configuration. In response to feedback from the French Air Force (Armée de l'air), which sought a lightweight fighter to replace the Mirage III for the French Air Force (Armée de l'air), the Delta 2000 proposal was redesigned into the Mirage 2000, for which the service issued requirements that matched Dassault's performance estimates in March 1976. On 10 March 1978, only 27 months after the programme was cleared to proceed, the first prototype conducted its maiden flight, during which the aircraft went supersonic. A total of three prototypes and one single-seat demonstrator were produced for the flight test programme. On 20 November 1982, the first production Mirage 2000C (C for chasseur, "fighter") made its first flight; deliveries commenced during the following year.

The Mirage 2000B is a two-seat operational conversion trainer variant which first flew on 11 October 1980. The French Air Force acquired 30 Mirage 2000Bs, and all three AdA fighter wings each obtained several of them for conversion training.

The Brazilian Air Force (Portuguese: Força Aérea Brasileira, FAB) is the aerial branch of the Brazilian Armed Forces, and one of the three national uniformed services. The FAB was formed when the Brazilian Army and Navy air branches were merged into a single military force, which was initially called the "National Air Forces" when it was created in 1941. Both air branches transferred all their aeronautical equipment, relevant installations, and relevant personnel to the newly created force.

The CRUZEX is a series of multinational and operational exercises coordinated by the Brazilian Air Force since 2002, traditionally at the Natal Air Force Base in the Rio Grande do Norte state. The CRUZEX is the most important aerial exercises in Latin America as the largest multinational war training in the region.
