F-35s, Rafales and F-16 V Vipers - Watch Greece Build a Formidable Air Force

By placing orders for forty F-35A stealth fighters, twenty-four Dassault Rafale multirole aircraft, and eighty-two F-16s converted to the advanced F-16V Viper variant, the Hellenic Air Force has undergone significant modernisation. The new aircraft will replace platforms such as the F-4E Phantom II and Mirage 2000. The substantial investment is designed to endow Greece with air superiority, with modernised 4.5-generation Rafales and Vipers coexisting with 5th generation F-35s by 2027. The proposed expansion is anticipated to enhance Greece's standing within the turbulent aerospace landscape of the Mediterranean. Note: AI Voice Used Visuals: US DoD
