This activation will last more than four months and includes three phases:<\/strong> the first takes place along the coasts of Greece and Turkey, the second along the coasts of Italy and the third will take it to the Atlantic and the Baltic.<\/p>\n

The \"D\u00e9dalo 24\" is headed by the aircraft carrier \"Juan Carlos I\" L-61<\/strong>, accompanied by the Amphibious Assault Ship \"Galicia\" L-51, the frigates \"Reina Sof\u00eda\" F-84 and \"Blas de Lezo\" F-103, the First Landing Battalion of the Tercio de Armada and an embarked air wing made up, among other aircraft, of the EAV-8B+ Harrier II Plus fighters of the 9th Squadron of the Aircraft Flotilla <\/strong> (FLOAN).<\/p>\n

During this deployment, the Spanish Harrier IIs have carried out several flights with Greek Air Force fighters, including the F-4E Phantom II of the 338 \"Ares\" Fighter-Bomber Squadron, based in Andravida. On April 23, the Greek Air Force published the two photos we just saw<\/a > of this joint flight and the following video:<\/p>\n
