Every year, Latvians celebrate the Day of the Proclamation of the Republic of Latvia on November 18, the anniversary of its independence in 1918.<\/p>\n
This day is celebrated annually in Riga with a military parade in which foreign NATO contingents deployed in that country participate. The Spanish Army has been participating in these parades for years<\/strong>, due to its deployment at the Adazi military base, in Latvia, within the framework of NATO's eFP mission.<\/p>\n This year, however, Spanish participation has been double, since in addition to soldiers from the Spanish eFP XIII contingent of the Spanish Army, two Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft from the 11th Wing of the Spanish Air Force<\/strong>, currently deployed in Estonia with the Amber Detachment have also participated in the air parade over Riga.<\/p>\n You can see here the broadcast of the parade made this afternoon by Latvian Television<\/strong> The Spanish soldiers appear at point 37:50 (Flag and escort), just before the US and Ukrainian soldiers, at 50 :45 (a formation of members of the eFP XIII contingent), 1:02:36 (Leopard 2E battle tank and ASCOD Pizarro infantry fighting vehicle).
