French fighter in Greek service

The Mirage F.1CG is a special version of the iconic Mirage F.1 fighter developed by the French company Dassault Aviation. This variant served primarily with the Greek Air Force (Hellenic Air Force). These aircraft were purchased by Greece between 1974–1975, at a time when the country needed modern air superiority fighters capable of interception and ground support. The Mirage F.1CGs took part in airspace patrols, among other missions, and were a key component of the Greek Air Force until the early 21st century.
