National Day: The F-35 at the heart of the July 21st parade
Belgium is preparing to celebrate its national day this Tuesday, July 21. As every year, this event brings together many citizens in Brussels to honor the country and its institutions. This edition is particularly anticipated due to several technical and organizational innovations.
The big attraction this year will be the flypast of the new F-35 fighter jet. For the first time, this modern model of the Belgian Defense will fly over the capital during the traditional air parade. This moment marks an important milestone for the Belgian army, which is thus modernizing its defense capabilities.
In addition to aviation, the program includes the participation of drones, illustrating the technological evolution of the armed forces. The public will also be able to enjoy the "Belgian Party," a festive event organized to strengthen community spirit. The authorities have also implemented measures to facilitate access to the festivities, notably through transport adapted for people with reduced mobility.
Security remains a priority for the organizers in order to ensure the smooth running of the day. The authorities invite spectators to consult practical information on official websites to plan their travel. This national celebration remains a highlight of the year for all Belgians.
