Croatian Air Force

Croatian Air Force received 12 reconditioned MiG-21, for implementation and maintenance of air-policing, what is their duty in relation to NATO obligations.
Full squadron of fighter aircraft is located in 91 air base Pleso.
MiG's are reconditioned in Ukraine and with thus, their lifespan is extended for 3 to 4 years, while not purchase new aircraft.
Realistically, MiG-21 in Croatia was written off long ago, because it was considered the purchase of new fighters. Owever crisis led to it, to survive HRZ, had to carry out repair of these 12 aircraft in 2014th.
Otherwise, Croatia's current three bids for procurement of new fighters: used American F-16, new or second-hand Swedish JAS-39C / D "Gripen" and used F-16 ACE from company "Israeli Aircraft Industries".
