Armée de la République de Macédoine
L'Armée de la République de Macédoine (macédonien : Армија на Република Македонија) est la force armée de la République de Macédoine, fondée en 1991. Elle se donne pour mission la préservation de l'indépendance et de la souveraineté du pays, la défense de l'intégrité du territoire national, des eaux territoriales et de l'espace aérien et la défense de la Constitution de la république. Elle s'articule autour de 3 branches : l'Armée de terre, l'Armée de l'air et les Forces spéciales.
La République de Macédoine étant candidate à l'adhésion à l'OTAN et à l'Union européenne, l'objectif actuel de l'armée est le développement et le maintien de sa force et de sa crédibilité, afin d'assurer son entière participation lors des missions internationales.
Histoire
L'armée a été fondée en 1991, après la déclaration de l'indépendance de la République de Macédoine. Elle hérita d'une partie des infastructures de l'Armée populaire yougoslave (JNA). Elle prit son premier grand engagement en 2001, lors du conflit ethnique commencé par des rebelles de la minorité albanaise. Ce conflit, qui menaça le pays de guerre civile, commença en janvier 2001 et fut résolu par l'adoption des accords d'Ohrid en août de la même année. Les combats restèrent toutefois mineurs et confinés le long de la frontière du Kosovo.
La République de Macédoine a aboli le service militaire obligatoire en octobre 2006. L'armée macédonienne est la première de la région à ne faire appel qu'à des militaires professionnels.
L'armée est présente depuis les années 2000 au sein de l'EUFOR Althea en Bosnie-Herzégovine, ainsi qu'en Afghanistan, au Liban et au Kosovo. Elle a aussi participé à la Guerre d'Irak.

US funds North Macedonian replacement of Soviet-era armour
Igor Bozinovski, Skopje - Jane's Defence Weekly
28 August 2019
The Army of the Republic of North Macedonia (ARNM) will retire most of its Soviet-era armoured vehicles under the US European Recapitalization Incentive Program (ERIP), the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Skopje told Jane’s on 21 August. The vehicles to be retired are BTR-70/80 wheeled armoured personnel carriers, BMP-2 tracked infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and MT-LB tracked carriers.
The aim is to improve ARNM interoperability with NATO, and to that end the highest priority for North Macedonia is to equip and modernise its army in accordance with the Long Term Defence Capability Development Plan (LTDCP) 2019–28 adopted by the government on 23 July, the MoD said. The LTDCP 2019–28, which was approved by parliament on 26 August, foresees acquisition of 56 Infantry Carrier Vehicles and 96 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles.
The obsolete armour is to be replaced through the acquisition of US military vehicles in a process that North Macedonia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Radmila Shekerinska announced for the first time on 7 August.

S’exprimant à Bruxelles ce vendredi, le secrétaire général de l’OTAN, M. Jens Stoltenberg, a déclaré : « la Macédoine du Nord fait à présent partie de la famille OTAN, une famille de 30 pays et de près d’un milliard de personnes qui sont ainsi assurés que, quels que soient les défis auxquels ils sont confrontés, ils sont plus forts et plus en sécurité ensemble ».
La Macédoine du Nord contribue depuis longtemps à la sécurité euro-atlantique, notamment en prenant part aux missions dirigées par l’OTAN en Afghanistan et au Kosovo. Une cérémonie de lever des couleurs aura lieu le 30 mars 2020 au siège de l’Organisation, en présence de M. Jens Stoltenberg, du président du Comité militaire, le général d’armée aérienne M. Stuart Peach, et du chargé d’affaires de la représentation de la Macédoine du Nord auprès de l’OTAN, M. Zoran Todorov. Le drapeau du nouveau pays membre sera hissé au même moment au QG du Commandement allié Opérations, à Mons (Belgique), et au QG du Commandement allié Transformation, à Norfolk (États-Unis).

Defence Minister Radmila Shekerinska said the donation would help the ARSM convert to the NATO-standard 5.56×45 mm calibre and the M4, which is already used by special forces, to arm NATO-declared infantry units. She added that the donation is part of a bigger package scheduled for completion in 2022 that will increase the number of donated M4s to over 2,000 and also includes machine guns and grenade launchers.
US Ambassador to North Macedonia Kate Marie Byrnes said the gifted rifles are worth USD1.2 million.
The M4 donation came two days after Shekerinska and US Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Mara Karlin signed a new memorandum of understanding that replaces the one signed in 1994, enhancing the strategic partnership between the two nations through joint training and exercises, increased co-operation in the fight against terrorism, more intensive military education exchanges, and improved interoperability through modernisation and equipping the ARSM

Macedonian Su-25s to Ukraine?
For some weeks unconfirmed reports about the delivery of the four North Macedonian Air Force Su-25 Frogfoots to Ukraine have been around.
At that time not much attention was paid to these rumours, because several other 'deliveries' of fighter aircraft from eastern-Europe countries in the end never materialised, but now our friends at The Drive state they have satellite images of Petrovec airbase that show the four Frogfoots have disappeared from the ramp in the open where they were stored for several years.
Also Macedonian newspaper MKD reported in June this year that engineers from Ukraine were inspecting the Su-25s. So at least the Su-25s were moved, and likely to Ukraine. Scramble Magazine is curious if Ukraine have or will return all four to flying condition, or just use these for spare parts for their own fleet of active and stored Su-25s.
The three single-seat Su-25 and sole two-seater Su-25UB were obtained from Belorussian stocks and arrived from Ukraine on 20 June 2001 to help fighting the Albanian insurgents. Around 2004 all four were were set aside and placed in long-term storage out in the open at Petrovec airbase. The Frogfoots were the only fighter aircraft ever flown by the North Macedonian AF, which now only operates a helicopter force with a small number of Zlin training aircraft.

North Macedonia has launched a defense plan to modernize its armed forces through American and German military assistance. The North Macedonian defense force is composed of the Army of North Macedonia and the Military Police. The Army of North Macedonia is responsible for the defense of the country, while the Military Police is responsible for maintaining order within the armed forces and providing security for military facilities
North Macedonia formally became NATO’s 30th member on 27 March 2020. A strategic defense review was released in 2018, which set out aims to optimize, reorganize and modernize the armed forces into a small, modern, and flexible force. A 2019–2028 Defense Capability Development Plan (DCDP) consolidated long-term development goals aimed at developing collective defense, cooperative security, and crisis-management capabilities. The country's defense budget for 2021 is around $12.6 billion.
Currently, the North Macedonia armed forces are equipped with Soviet-made combat equipment and armored vehicles. In recent years, North Macedonia has been looking to modernize its armored vehicle fleet and has been in talks with several countries and companies to purchase new vehicles.
In March 2021, the United States approved the delivery of 54 Stryker 8x8 armored vehicles to North Macedonia. On August 3, 2020, it was announced that North Macedonia ordered JLTVs (Joint Light Tactical Vehicles) manufactured by the American company Oshkosh Defense.
With the acquisition of the Turkish-made Boran howitzer, North Macedonia continues to modernize its armed forces with military equipment to reach the NATO standard.
The Boran 105mm howitzer is a type of artillery weapon developed and manufactured by the Turkish company, Boran Silah Sanayi. It is a towed howitzer, which means it is designed to be transported and fired from a towed position, as opposed to being mounted on a vehicle or other platform.
The Boran 105mm howitzer has a maximum range of 11.5 km (7.1 mi) and can fire a variety of different types of shells, including high-explosive, smoke, and illuminating rounds. It can be operated by a crew of six and is typically used for both direct and indirect fire support in combat operations.
It was first unveiled in 2017 at the Turkish defense exhibition IDEF. It recently entered into service with the Turkish Armed Forces, and also has been proposed for export to other countries.

North Macedonia selects Leonardo helicopters
On 22 January, North Macedonian Defence Minister Slavjanka Petrovska made an announcement on national TV, saying four Leonardo AW149 and four AW169M helicopters are to be procured for an estimated EUR330 million. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Army of the Republic of North Macedonia (Armija na Republika Severna Makedonija: ARSM) have decided to acquire Italian helicopters to replace the country's Soviet-built airframes (Mi-8MT, Mi17V-5 and Mi-25V).
In securing the North Macedonian tender, Leonardo beat off competition from Airbus with the H145M and H225M, from Bell with the 412M, and from Lockheed Martin with the S-70 Black Hawk. According to Petrovska, the selection was made on the grounds of completeness, pricing, and the logistics and maintenance systems of the aircraft.
A government-to-government (G2G) agreement between North Macedonia and Italy will now be signed, with helicopter deliveries to follow 24–36 months later.
