During the July 14th parade, MBDA will have the honor of seeing some of its missiles and missile systems parade alongside the French Armed Forces.

A long-standing, trusted partner of the three armed forces, MBDA works alongside them to provide them with the sovereign capabilities to protect the French people and their allies.

The multi-mission Air-to-Air missile systems MICA EM & MICA IR, which Air and Space Force and Navy Rafale will be on display during the parade. Ground to air defense systems MAMBA (SAMP-T) and VL MICA will be on static display.

In addition to the famous parade, this year will also be an opportunity to celebrate the centenary of two pillars of French national memory:

  • The 100th anniversary of the creation of the Flame Committee, responsible since 1925 for rekindling the flame of the Unknown Soldier every day under the Arc de Triomphe
  • The 100th anniversary of the Bleuet de France, a symbol of national solidarity with the war wounded, born in 1925 within the walls of Les Invalides
