The Albanian Air Force operates various types of helicopters. All of the Albanian fixed-wing aircraft, like the Shenyangs have been withdrawn from active service in 2005. Close to NATO Integration the Air defense has become a secondary priority for the Albanian military. Current plans are to reduce the manpower of the Albanian Air Force to around 1,400.
