Croatia and France
finalize Rafale
acquisition
(Saint-Cloud,
France, November
25, 2021) – At a ceremony attended by the
President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron and the Prime
Minister of the Croatian Republic Andrej Plenković, the French
Minister of the Armed Forces Florence Parly and the Chairman and
CEO of Dassault Aviation Eric Trappier signed today in Zagreb, with
the Croatian Minister of Defense Mario Banozic, two contracts for
the acquisition of 12 Rafale fighters and associated logistics
support.
The state-to-state contract mainly covers the
transfer of 12 Rafale fighters from the French Air Force along with
their equipment, as well as a training service for the Croatian Air
Force.
The logistics support contract covers all
support resources, including additional spare parts for these
aircraft, over a three-year period.
The selection of the Rafale, announced on May
28, after an international tender involving European and American
aircraft, reflects its technological and operational superiority,
as well as the excellent work done by the team “France” to
consolidate its position in the European air forces.
"I am delighted, on behalf of Dassault Aviation
and its partners, to be entering into a relationship of trust with
Croatia, a European country, and to be writing a new page for the
Rafale, which I am certain will give the Croatian Air Force
complete satisfaction, while actively contributing to the exercise
of Croatia's national sovereignty," said Eric
Trappier after the signing ceremony.
