Escadron de Chasse 1/7 Provence (EC 1/7 Provence) is a prominent fighter squadron in the French Air and Space Force. It operates the Dassault Rafale, a versatile multirole fighter known for its air superiority, ground attack, and reconnaissance capabilities. EC 1/7 Provence plays a vital role in both national defense and international missions, frequently participating in operations such as Operation Chammal in the Middle East and NATO deployments. The squadron's heritage dates back to World War II, and today it remains a key component of France's aerial strike and defense capabilities.
Designed as a result of the ACX (Avion de Combat Experimentale) program prior to France's withdrawal from the EFA project, the Rafale was first flown on July 4th, 1986. The Rafale is multi-role fighter for the Franch Air Force and Navy, capable of handling missions from reconnaissance to air supremacy to nuclear deterrence. The Rafale built on Dassault's expertise with delta-winged fighter design, adding a forward canard to improve maneuverability and reduce approach speeds for carrier operations. The Rafale's advanced avionics and and limited stealth capabilities are expected to secure it as the primary combat aircraft for the French Air Force and Navy until at least 2040.
