Greece signed a contract on Monday for the purchase of 18 Rafale fighter jets from France, thus strengthening its partnership with Paris in the face of tensions with Turkey, a contract which had notably made the Minister of the Armies Florence Parly travel.

The amount of the transaction amounts to approximately 2.5 billion euros and includes the supply by Paris of 12 second-hand aircraft, taken from the inventory of the French Air Force, of six new aircraft, logistical support and associated armaments.
