This squadron represents not only a formidable military capability but also a clear statement of intent \u2014 the Croatian Armed Forces, and specifically our Air Force, are committed to safeguarding the security of our citizens with state-of-the-art combat aircraft. The Croatian Government and the Ministry of Defence have invested approximately three billion euros in the modernisation and equipping of the Croatian Armed Forces. Defence expenditure has reached 2% of GDP this year, and by 2027 we aim to increase this to 2.5%, with plans to continue rising towards 3%.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Rafale squadron forms the backbone of the Croatian Air Force\u2019s capabilities and significantly enhances national security, deterrence, and defence within the NATO alliance.
