Air warfare branch of Croatia's military
The Croatian Air Force (Croatian: Hrvatsko ratno zrakoplovstvo or HRZ) is the aerial warfare branch of the Armed Forces of Croatia. It is headquartered on the Pleso Air Base in Zagreb, Croatia with coastal airfields in Zadar and Split. The Air Force is tasked primarily with commanding and protecting Croatian airspace. Along with conducting independent air operations, it provides air support for land and naval forces and aids in the recovery of troops in the field. Its strategic mandate is articulated as air supremacy, reconnaissance, rapid mobility, air strike capability, as well as command and control. It is the second-youngest service branch and third-largest following the Croatian Navy and Croatian Army. This service branch oversees the nation's autonomous combat and surveillance drone fleet. It supports and participates in NATO, UN, EU, and American-led military operations around the world.
