Greece is to acquire additional Dassault Rafale combat aircraft, with the country's prime minister saying that a further six will be received in addition to the 18 already ordered.

Speaking at the Thessaloniki International Fair on 11 September, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the procurement.

News of the purchase came approximately two months after the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) received its first Rafale from France during a formal handover ceremony at the Dassault Aviation Flight Test Centre on 21 July. Eight months later, the Greek and French governments signed a EUR1.92 billion (USD2.35 billion) contract for the initial 18 jets.

The first 18 Rafales comprise 12 surplus French Air and Space Force twin- and single-seat aircraft and six new-build aircraft. Mitsotakis did not disclose whether the latest aircraft will be surplus or new-build.
