class=\"kicker\">The story<\/div>\n<h2>The Albanian Air Force story: a Yak-9 in 1951, Chinese MiGs in a mountain and drones at Ku&#231;ov&#235;<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1914&ndash;1951: false starts, and a Yak-9 on 24 April<\/h3>\n<p>Albania tried to build an air arm three times before one stuck. In 1914 the new state ordered three Lohner Daimler aircraft from Austria, and the First World War cancelled the order. After 1928 King Zog formed a Royal Albanian Air Corps under the army, but its five Albatros aircraft, according to Wikipedia, were never put into full service, and the Italian invasion of April 1939 ended it without a fight. The service that exists today dates from the communist state: an air surveillance company was formed on 14 February 1947, and on 24 April 1951 Pe&#231;o Polena took off in a Yak-9P that Albanian technicians had assembled. The First Fighter Aviation Squadron, commanded by Baba&#231;e Faiku, had 12 Yak-9s at Lapraka airfield in Tirana. Albania still keeps 24 April as Aviation Day.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1951&ndash;1978: Soviet jets, then Chinese copies<\/h3>\n<p>Soviet help built the force quickly. The first jet unit formed at Ku&#231;ov&#235; in 1955 with MiG-15s, a transport regiment followed in 1957 with Po-2s, Yak-18s and Mi-1 and Mi-4 helicopters, and in October 1959, according to Wikipedia, 12 MiG-19PM interceptors arrived. Then politics intervened: Albania broke with Moscow in 1961 and turned to China. A regiment formed at Rinas in 1962 and an aviation school opened at Vlor&#235;; from 1965 Shenyang F-6s, Chinese copies of the MiG-19, arrived in large numbers &mdash; 71 by 1971 by SIPRI&rsquo;s count, over 100 by a former commander&rsquo;s. Twelve Chengdu F-7As, obtained in exchange for the Soviet MiG-19PMs, gave Albania its fastest fighters. By the 1970s the ministry counts over 70 operational MiG-19s, a MiG-17 squadron and a helicopter regiment of over 30 Mi-4s &mdash; a large force for a country of two million.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1978&ndash;2005: isolation, 1997 and the end of the jets<\/h3>\n<p>The weakness was supply. When Albania fell out with China in 1978 it lost its only source of spares, and the fleet was kept flying on cannibalised parts and poor locally refined fuel. Wikipedia records 35 pilots killed between 1955 and 2005, mostly through mechanical failure, and German Wikipedia records the collision of two Z-5 helicopters with mountains near Vuno on 22 November 1989. The communist regime fell in 1991 with some 200 jets on strength, few of them serviceable. In March 1997 the armed forces disintegrated in the unrest: two pilots flew their aircraft to Italy on 4 March, rebels seized Ku&#231;ov&#235; and its MiGs, and Gjad&#235;r was looted and abandoned. The jets limped on until an F-6 crashed on take-off at Tirana on 16 September 2004; the fighters were withdrawn in 2004&ndash;2005, and some 40 retired aircraft were put up for auction in 2016.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Gjad&#235;r: the cave base and its strange second life<\/h3>\n<p>Gjad&#235;r, near Lezh&#235;, was the most ambitious thing the regime built for its air force. Construction began in 1969 against the threat of Yugoslav air attack; the ministry dates the first landing, by Haki Jupasi and Serafin Shegani in an F-6 and an F-7A, to 50 years before July 2024, while Wikipedia gives 10 July 1973 and an official opening on 15 March 1974. Behind the runway, tunnels cut into the mountain could hold about 50 aircraft, and the F-7A squadron moved in in 1976. The base&rsquo;s oddest chapter came after communism: in 1994 the CIA flew Gnat-750 drones from it over Bosnia, and in 1995 the US Army&rsquo;s Predators followed. It was looted in March 1997, jet flying stopped in 2000 and the tunnels became a store for retired fighters &mdash; until July 2024, when Gjad&#235;r reopened for Black Hawk crew training.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">2005&ndash;2026: helicopters, NATO and Ku&#231;ov&#235;<\/h3>\n<p>After the jets, Albania rebuilt a small helicopter force from the West: AB-206s from 2001, AB-205s from 2004, an A109 and Bo 105s in 2007, EC145s from 2012 and four AS532 Cougars between 2012 and 2014. NATO membership on 1 April 2009 settled the question of fighters: Greek and Italian jets police Albanian airspace. The big investments of the 2020s came from allies. NATO spent about 50 million euros, and Albania over 5 million euros, rebuilding Ku&#231;ov&#235;, inaugurated as a NATO tactical air base on 4 March 2024. The United States paid over US$50 million for two UH-60A+ Black Hawks delivered in January 2024, and Turkey sold three Bayraktar TB2 drones that began flying from Ku&#231;ov&#235; in 2024. What was good: a force sized to its tasks, busy every summer fighting wildfires. What was bad: two decades with no fixed-wing pilots at all.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">What is still missing<\/h3>\n<p>By 2026 defence spending had reached 2.6 per cent of GDP, and the air force marked its 75th anniversary at Ku&#231;ov&#235; on 30 April under a new commander, Brigadier General Edmond Voci. The gaps are plain in the ministry&rsquo;s own words. In April 2025 the minister said Albania must return to fixed-wing aircraft and train more pilots; the aviation school at Vlor&#235;, closed for two decades, is to reopen by 2029, but no aircraft type has been named. The helicopter fleet is still to be completed, and air defence exists as a plan: in 2023 the new commander listed a ground-based air defence battalion among his priorities. Ku&#231;ov&#235; gives NATO a runway in the Western Balkans; whether Albania itself will fly anything from it beyond drones is the open question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">Soviet help built the force quickly.
