Absztrakt
Air force cooperation in the Visegrad Countries is an important and hardly studied field of interest. In my research, I studied previous and actual V4 cooperation, with a focus on defence cooperation. With the help of interviews of professionals from different fields of expertise, I tried to highlight the possibilities for an air force cooperation in the V4. I created summary tables based on open-source information, the main goal of which is to present the current equipment and capabilities of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. I have also made an attempt to sum up the previous joint military cooperation between the Visegrad Group countries, in order to make predictions for the future.
