I find the badges that include historical figures/groups or the mythology to be the nicest, it gives it a lot of originality and of course helps in creating unique designs.

There's actually a lot more about other units,but they're not Tactical Squadrons,they are radar,logistics,HQ and support units. But there's way more. I just thought the Combat Wing and Tactical Squadron ones would be interesting for you guys here!

These are the HAF Combat Wings and Squadrons: Emblems,motto and information.

I will tag people who might be interested in this

@Gomig-21

Those are great.

There certainly is no shortage of historical material and classic figures to use for emblems and names of these squadrons with the richly influential history that is Greece. Still, would like to see more of Zeus, Athena or Medusa!

Hades squadron, gods of the underworld would be something hahaha.

HAF F-16s flying with USAF F-22 Raptors.

Nice photos of the Rafale there!


From a few years ago,but still nice. The Mirage 2000 EGM/BGM are out of service now and we only have the Mirage 2000-5. The 24 Rafale will take the place of the Mirage 2000.

At the Thessaloniki EXPO in 2019,I tried a Leopard 1A5 simulator,using of course,Steel Beasts.

It was a great experience and the trainer next to me,said a couple of times that I'm very good.

On the contrary,the previous year,I had tried the Kornet simulator and missed hitting the enemy vehicle both times (it was moving),but I didn't try a third time.

You missed your calling, should've been a tank commander!

lol. Hey, at least you improved in a span of that one year. That simulator is great. I've tried a few aviation ones but never a tank one. Must be a blast.

Some pics.

332nd patch like the one in your list for one of the Rafale squadrons, although a falcon in the patch would suggest an F-16 squadron. I'm guessing Hellenic Air Force has 12 fighters per squadron?

HAF Mirage 2K with its very impressive arsenal. including MICA IRs and the SCALP EG and a couple of heavy hitters looks like maybe the white missile is the ASM-39 Exocet block II? And the blue one appears to be the IRIS-T. Excellent weapons package for this incredible fighter. HAF actually operates the SCALP EG as well as the JSOW cms.

It's the Hawk Squadron! The normal for a squadron in Greece is 24 aircraft. Well if course they can be 22 or 20 but yeah.

Yeah we got AM-39 Exocet and IRIS-T. The Greek pilots loved the Mirage 2000s and those who served in Mirage F1 loved them too. Of course you know,those who serve in the F-16 love the F-16

I wish, because the road is...long, especially when we are talking about Army helicopters.
