Pilot Rafal's message to all of us: “The sound of Rafal – synonymous with Croatian security at all times of the day and night”

Croatian Air Force pilots continue training on Rafale planes with regular and night flights throughout Croatia. Increased noise is expected in July, especially in Lika-Senj, Zadar, Istria, Primorje-Gorski Kotar, Slavonia, Istria, Banovina and Lika.

Pilots of the Croatian Air Force have been intensively conducting flight exercises over all regions of Croatia in recent months. These activities will continue in the coming period, including regular and night flights.

Since the beginning of 2023, Rafale pilots have been training in France, aiming to perfect their skills on these advanced fighter jets. On this occasion, they sent a message to all citizens of Croatia:

“Dear fellow citizens, the noise you hear during the flight of our Rafale jets is the sound that preserves the hard-fought Croatian freedom. We are pleased that in the coming days, months, and years, this sound will be synonymous with the security of Croatia and all its citizens at any time of day or night. Best regards from the pilots of the 191st Fighter Squadron”.

Intensive flight activities in July
According to the plan, the pilots of the 191st Squadron will conduct regular flight tasks on July 22 and 23, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The breaking of the sound barrier and increased noise are expected in the Lika-Senj, Zadar, Istria, and Primorje-Gorski Kotar counties.

Night flights in July
In addition to daytime activities, night flights are planned from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM. During these flights, increased noise can be expected in the regions of Slavonia, Istria, Banovina, and Lika.

The Rafale pilots are aware that their training may cause unpleasant noise, so they have sent a message to the citizens of Croatia, hoping that together we will continue to strengthen security and preserve the peace of our homeland.

It is important to note that the Croatian Air Force conducts all activities in designated flight zones, in accordance with the regulations and rules governing the use of airspace in the Republic of Croatia.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
