Abstract

The article discusses the disbandment of Régiment de Chasse 1/30 Normandie-Niemen at Base Aérienne 132 Colmar in France on July 3, 2009. It is noted that the fleet of Dassault Mirage F1 was gradually lessening as the Rafale deliveries increased. The Mirage F1CT fleet was upgraded to F1CT2 standard, which included a modern self-defence and electronic warfare suite and a new inertial navigation system. The success of the missions of the fleet in defending the French presence is also explored.
