Dassault Aviation Delivers Falcon 7X Jet to Greece

French aircraft manufacturer Dassault will provide the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) with a Falcon 7X aircraft free of charge, reported Greek Timea citing government sources. 

According to the Greek media, senior Greek officials said that the concession aims to meet an obligation not fulfilled by France following the Mirage 2000-5 contract signed in 2000. It appears that the agreement included supplies to Greece of military equipment as well as providing works contract for local aerospace industries.
