Four Indian Air Force Rafales were deployed to BA105 Evreux to support the Indian contingent that participated in the French National day parade (also named Bastille day) over the Champs-Élysées, Paris on 14 July 2023. The Indians were invited because in 2023, France and India celebrated 25 years of strategic partnership. Three Rafales made part of the massive formation flight that consisted out of over 70 aircraft. Although unmarked, this Rafale belonged to 101sq "Falcons"based at Jalpaguiri/Hashimara AFS (India). The aircraft made its first flight late 2021 and was delivered on 22 Feb'22. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
