The Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia (Croatian: Oružane snage Republike Hrvatske – OSRH) are the military forces of Croatia.
The President is the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, and exercises administrative powers in times of war by giving orders to the chief of staff, while administration and defence policy execution in peacetime is carried out by the Government through the Ministry of Defence. This unified institution consists of land, sea, and air branches referred to as:
Croatian Army (Hrvatska kopnena vojska - HKoV)
Croatian Navy (Hrvatska ratna mornarica - HRM)
Croatian Air Force (Hrvatsko ratno zrakoplovstvo - HRZ)
The Croatian Armed Forces are charged with protecting the Republic as well as supporting international peacekeeping efforts, when mandated by NATO,[11] the United Nations or the European Union.
The Army has 650 AFVs, around 150 pieces of artillery, 100 MLRSs, around 75 tanks, and 25 SPGs. The Air Force has 12 MiG-21 jet fighters, 10 combat-transport Mi-171 and 16 OH-58 attack helicopters. The Navy has 30 ships, out of which five 60-80 metre fast attack craft are used in offensive capabilities. In April of 2024 Croatia acquired first 6 out of 12 used French Rafale F-3R.
