France's combat helicopters are conducting training exercises ahead of their participation in the Bastille Day parade scheduled for July 14 in Paris. The French Army's fleet of Tiger helicopters will fly over the capital during the national holiday celebration.
The Tiger helicopters represent some of the French military's most advanced combat aircraft. Four of the helicopters participating in the parade recently returned from a deployment in the Middle East, where they conducted operational missions destroying Iranian Shahed drones that were targeting Gulf states.
The training flights are taking place less than 24 hours before the scheduled parade appearance, allowing crews to prepare for the flyover event during France's national celebration.
