Greece and the Rafale
Saint-Cloud, France, September 12,
2020 – Greece announced today its intention to acquire 18
Rafales to equip its air force.
This announcement illustrates the strength of
the partnership that has linked the Greek Air Force and Dassault
Aviation for more than 45 years, and demonstrates the enduring
strategic relationship between Greece and France.
Greece ordered 40 Mirage F1 from Dassault
Aviation in 1974, then 40 Mirage 2000 in 1985 and finally 15 Mirage
2000-5 in the year 2000; this latest contract also includes the
modernization of 10 Mirage 2000 to the 2000-5 standard with a large
contribution from Greek industry.
"I am delighted with this announcement, which
reinforces the exceptional relationship we have had with Greece for
nearly half a century, and I thank the Greek authorities for their
confidence in us once again. Dassault Aviation is fully mobilized
to meet the operational needs expressed by the Greek Air Force, and
thus contribute to ensuring Greece's sovereignty and the safety of
the Greek people," said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault
Aviation.
