The North Macedonia Air Force, officially known as the Macedonian Air Force, is the aerial warfare branch of the Armed Forces of North Macedonia. It was established in 1992, following the declaration of independence of the Republic of Macedonia. The primary objective of the Air Force is to protect the country's airspace and contribute to the overall defense of North Macedonia. The Air Force operates a small fleet of military aircraft, including transport, utility, and training aircraft. The backbone of its fleet consists of helicopters, which play a crucial role in various missions, such as search and rescue, medical evacuation, and transportation. The Air Force also maintains a limited number of fixed-wing aircraft for surveillance and training purposes. Over the years, the North Macedonia Air Force has gone through modernization efforts to upgrade its capabilities and enhance interoperability with NATO partners. In addition to its defense responsibilities, the Air Force occasionally participates in international exercises and contributes to international peacekeeping missions.
