Croatia has successfully upgraded its air force by replacing Soviet-era MiG-21 fighter jets with twelve advanced Rafale jets from France. This project, described as a significant transformation by Defense Minister Ivan AnuÅ¡iÄ, enhances Croatia's military capabilities amidst increasing defense demands across Europe. The Rafale, a 4.5-generation aircraft, outperforms the MiG-21 and showcases advanced technologies, including stealth and long-range missile capabilities. The deal follows a failed attempt to procure secondhand F-16s, reinforcing the growing commercial success of the Rafale amidst rising European defense spending, especially due to regional threats.
Croatia's transition to Rafale jets represents a significant enhancement of its air power, marking a strategic shift in its military capabilities in response to regional security dynamics.
The Rafale is a 4.5-generation aircraft with advanced technologies such as stealth capabilities and long-range missile launch systems, showcasing a leap in Croatia's military technology.
