Petrovska at a media briefing: I am proud of the army members, with the modernization we are changing the face of the Army with each passing day (31. März 2023)
Two Army Mi-8 transport helicopters are undergoing overhaul, in cooperation with the Czech Republic.

We are in the pre-final stage of analysing the purchase of 8 multi-purpose helicopters, for which 5 offers have been received from different countries. It is our intention to proceed with all these procurements according to the principle of Government to Government (G2G) agreement, as a guarantee that these agreements are free from suspicion on any basis, including the suspicion of corruption.

We also talked about our donations for the defence of Ukraine, including the latest decision to donate 12 combat helicopters, which the government decided two days ago. All donations so far have been made on the basis of the expert body the General Staff of the Army and of course are in accordance with our strategic plans and the long-term plan for the development of defence capabilities.

Petrovska on TV Shenja: The functional helicopters that the Army needs are kept, we donated those that the General Staff deemed we do not require (5. April 2023)
Speaking about those helicopters that are the subject of donation, Petrovska emphasized that they have been completely non-functional for a long time, and the reason they were not operational was the lack of spare parts that are of Russian production, a situation that has been going on for years.

“We are doing everything according to our plans, national, for the development of defence capabilities, we are moving from that eastern or outdated platform, to a new, modern, western platform. We are replacing the old helicopters, manufactured in `84, with new helicopters. And I’ll say it again – they were out of order before. Those that are operational and needed by the Army are retained and are part of the Army Air Force. Of course, we do not intend to alienate them until the new ones arrive, that is, the procurement begins, the new ones arrive, and they are put into use. Because it is not just about having the weapons or the equipment or in the case of the helicopters, they have to be put into service through a procedure that is very clearly specified in the Army, which means that the personnel have to be properly trained, to pass a certain number of flight hours specifically for the aircraft, and only then is a decision made that they enter the service. Then, we can make additional decisions about what will happen with those helicopters that are now in use and we use them”, emphasized Petrovska.

North Macedonia selects Leonardo AW149, AW169M helicopters
The North Macedonian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Army of the Republic of North Macedonia (Armija na Republika Severna Makedonija: ARSM) have decided to acquire Italian helicopters to replace the country's Soviet-built airframes.

North Macedonian Defence Minister Slavjanka Petrovska made the announcement on national TV on 22 January, saying four Leonardo AW149 and four AW169M helicopters are to be procured for an estimated EUR330 million (USD359 million).

In securing the North Macedonian tender, Leonardo beat off competition from Airbus with the H145M and H225M, from Bell with the 412M, and from Lockheed Martin with the S-70 Black Hawk. According to Petrovska, the selection was made on the grounds of completeness, pricing, and the logistics and maintenance systems of the aircraft.

A government-to-government (G2G) agreement between North Macedonia and Italy will now be signed, with helicopter deliveries to follow 24–36 months later. North Macedonia's upcoming 8 May parliamentary and presidential elections will not stop the negotiations with Leonardo, Petrovska explained, as the procurement is already approved.

Petrovska at a briefing giving details about the procurement of eight new helicopters: Investing in the Army is investing in the future of our country (14. März 2024)
Minister Petrovska emphasized that the recommendation for the procurement of these helicopters was made by the Integrated Project Team composed of experts in the Ministry of Defence and the Army, which has been working since 2019. During this period, the IPT team held numerous working meetings and visits to the companies – candidates for the procurement of the new helicopter platforms, during which demonstration flights with the potential new helicopters were also performed.
The purchase will begin after the signing of the Government-to-Government (G2G) agreement between the Republic of North Macedonia and the Republic of Italy, which will be signed these days.

This purchase, in addition to the 4 AW149 helicopters and 4 AW169M helicopters, also includes a logistics support package – equipment that meets the operational requirements for performing specific missions; a set of spare parts and consumables, special tools, test equipment for both helicopters; simulator and construction of a modern infrastructural facility and complete training of the flight and technical personnel. The helicopters are expected to arrive between the second half of 2026 and the end of 2028.
