After the break up of the SFR Yugoslavia in 1991/92, air forces of the newly independent states of Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia purchased various numbers of MIL Mi-24 helicopter gunships and used them in combat. Croatian air force was the first to purchase Mi-24s in 1993 and had used them in combat in 1995. They were all retired in late 1990s. Serbian air force operated two Mi-24s against KLA fighters during the Kosovo war in 1998/1999. Macedonia was the last Balkan state to buy Mi-24s and had used them in combat during the Albanian insurgency in 2001. Even after 4 decades MIL Mi-24 helicopter gunships are still considered to be stable and efficient weapons systems although they're now nearing obsolescence. Around 60 air forces all over the world are still known to operate Mi-24s of various models and some are still flying anti guerilla operations against various insurgent groups.
