This year, the military parade of March 25 for the 201st anniversary of the National Regency and the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary was held with great pomp.
This year's parade included, for the first time this year, the Greek Rafale aircraft recently integrated into the Air Force and acquired from France.
Recall that the first six fighters had arrived at Tanagra Air Base last January.
They stole the show
The fighters from France stole the show as they flew alongside the legendary World War II Supermarine SPITFIRE MJ755 aircraft.
The balance-changing Rafale fighters in the Aegean are twin-engine, multi-role fighters. This means that they can simultaneously perform missions of different types, such as air superiority, strike, reconnaissance, etc.
They carry a combination of delta wing and canards, which gives them excellent manoeuvrability while maintaining stability during flight.
The Rafale has the ability to track a target and launch an air-to-air missile without having to reveal its position, thanks to Thales' OSF system.
