The March 25th military parade in the centre of Athens was as grand as every year with the maiden flight of Rafale aircraft over the Athenian sky on the anniversary of the Greek Revolution being breathtaking.
The flights of the F-16 Viper and Apache helicopters over the Greek capital were also impressive, while the “premiere” of the Marder 1A3 armoured fighting vehicles also caught the eye. The vehicles were received last October under an agreement between the country and Germany.
