Kosovo is a landlocked state in southern Europe with only partial diplomatic recognition. It has one of the weakest militaries in the world, and not just Europe, as it is without any battle tanks, military aircraft, and naval assets. The only area of strength of notice for Kosovo’s military is its manpower, which is around 10,000 active military troops, and its large fleet of armored fighting vehicles, most of which were received from the United States and Turkiye.
