The two Rafale DG dual seat and four Rafale EG single-seat variant will be operated by 332 MPK (Mira Pantos Kerou = All-Weather Squadron) nicknamed Geraki (Hawk) that is currently operating the Dassault Mirage 2000EG/BG.
The squadron will have its Mirage 2000s retired by mid-2022, after 34 years of service.
