France's combat helicopters train ahead of Bastille day parade
France 24 [en]
In less than 24 hours, a fleet of tiger helicopters will fly over Paris during the July 14 parade. They are among the French Army’s most formidable combat aircraft. Four of them were, in fact, recently on a mission in the Middle East. They destroyed several Iranian Shahed drones that were targeting the Gulf states. Our colleagues at France 2 were able to accompany the pilots during rehearsals between Chartres and the French capital.
