Airforce of Dexistan

The Air Force of the People's Democratic Republic of Dexistan is the air force and one of the three branches of the Dexistanian military. It was founded on February 1st, 2020 in response to tensions culminating in the Great Poop War. It has seen extensive combat in every war it has been in but it is considered to lag behind the air forces of Japan, the GTR, and India significantly. Recent modernization efforts by the Ministry of Defense have seen the production and purchase of more modern and sophisticated fighters and bombers in contrast with the largely antiquated force.

Air Force Strength and Size
The standing size of the peacetime air force of Dexistan is around 15,000 to 20,000 personnel with over 1000 active aircraft. This force can be bolstered by an extra 5 to 10 thousand in times of war as well as many as 400 reserve aircraft including fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft. The Air Force also handles the missile stockpile of Dexistan but this is still largely experimental and under extensive research. The training in the Dexistanian Air Force is long although relatively light as they have not been on full deployment for more than a year. Conscription is an option for the Air Force but has never been exercised even in times of great crisis such as either of the Great Realm Wars. Rifles and other primary weapons are usually only carried in ceremonies and the standard pilot carries a Makarov sidearm and the standard knife of the Dexistanian Army, they are given these in the event of a crash in the field or any other similar catastrophe.
