The missile family is currently integrated on the Hellenic Air Force\u2019s Dassault Mirage 2000-5 and Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft fleets, providing both beyond-visual-range and close-combat interception capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement ensures the operational availability and long-term sustainment of the missile systems, reinforcing the combat readiness of the Hellenic Air Force at a time of increasing regional security requirements. It also highlights the continued strategic defence cooperation between Greece and France, particularly in the field of advanced air combat systems and missile technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The signing took place within the broader framework of the high-level Greek-French defence meetings held during the official visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Greece and the renewal of the bilateral Strategic Partnership Agreement on Defence and Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Director of Defence Investments and Armaments (GDDIA) of the Hellenic Ministry of National Defence, Major General Ioannis Bouras, and the Chairman and CEO of MBDA France, Eric B\u00e9ranger, signed a new Framework Agreement and the first Executive Contract of 2026 for the continued support of the Hellenic Armed Forces\u2019 MICA missile systems.
