Yunanistan'ı hedefe koyan Arnavut Ordusu ne kadar güçlü?

The Albanian army (Forcat e Armatosura të Republikës së Shqipërisë) consists of land, sea, and air forces. Located in a strategic point in the Balkans, Albania is undergoing a transformation process that is completely modernizing its military structure, despite not having a single fighter jet or main battle tank in its inventory. Emerging from the shadow of the 170,000 bunkers and closed-off defense doctrine built under the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha during the Cold War, the country aims to build a fully professional, highly mobile, and technology-oriented force. Having abolished compulsory military service in 2010 and transitioned to a 100% professional and volunteer army model, the Albanian Armed Forces currently serve with approximately 7,500 active personnel. Remarkably, women make up 14-15% of the uniformed personnel in the army, and female soldiers play active roles in all combat branches, including commando and naval operations, beyond logistical duties. Ranked 77th out of 145 countries in global security indices, Albania, due to the conditions dictated by its mountainous geography, prefers fast tactical wheeled armored vehicles and unmanned systems over heavy armor. The Tirana administration, which entrusts the security of its airspace to NATO allies, is strengthening its own striking power with 9 Bayraktar TB2 UAV systems procured from Türkiye and smart munitions produced by Roketsan. Furthermore, it is observed that domestically produced rifles such as the MPT-76 and MPT-55 are being procured from Turkey as part of the modernization of infantry units. Behind the Albanian army's increased budget allocation and focus on these technological investments lie serious regional challenges. The chronic dispute with Greece over the extension of the continental shelf and territorial waters in the Ionian Sea to 12 miles leads Athens to use its EU membership process as a bargaining chip.
