Does the Bosnia-Herzegovina air force operate only helicopters? Have the fixed-wing aircraft inherited from the Bosniak and Republika Srpska air forces all been sold off?

Still kinda crazy that these two armies that were fighting each other merged into one force ten years later.

handfull of old helicopters is not really an "air force". at the moment there are hundreds of veterans protesting the slashing of pensions and benefits at the same time the government is not capable of maintaing a small fleet of helicopters. every time they are oredered to get involved in anything (natural disasters) something goes wrong and they have to ground the fleet. judging by the trends new planes and helicopters will probably happen some time next century.
