Slovak Air Force
One of the smallest air arms in NATO, the Slovak Air Force represents an
interesting mix of types. The Slovak Air Force was formed in 1993 with the
split of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It operates out of three airbases
- Malacky (transports), Sliac (flights) and Presov (helicopters). All photos

Despite having a relatively small fleet
of 9 MiG-29s, the Slovak Air Force is a
regular participant in airshows, with its
fighters having different camouflage
schemes. Plans to replace the MiG-29s
have been postponed for budgetary
reasons.
