Airforce of Domanania
The Federated States of Domanania Airforce, also known as the FSD Airforce or FSDAF, is the airforce of Domanania, responsible for aerial-based warfare. It operates almost all aircraft that support the army. With the dissolution of conscription in Domanania, the 3rd Air Group was disbanded, releasing the T8 Light Fighter from combat service, maintaining a few platforms for training.
The air force was split off from the Doman Army in 1990, assuming command over almost all army air forces, with the army only maintaining a pair of helicopter squadrons.
The air force has tried to maintain a fleet of advanced aircraft, always pushing for more advanced systems. The air force has acquired 5th generation aircraft recently, being the first platform to enter the air force's service. Additional stealth platforms are planned to be acquired, along with advanced 4.5 gen aircraft.
in 2023, elements from the air force were re-integrated back into the army to form the Army Air Command. This included 93 mixed role helicopters. The air force protested this decision, and has ordered more aircraft to fill its ranks.
Current Operational Status
The FSDAF is designed to protect the country from land based installations, and fend off aircraft and naval vessels. As of 2022, the air force is interested in projecting power by air to a majority of the Mesder seas, using a combination of long range weapons, refueling platforms, and unmanned aircraft. Currently the air force employs 22,500 personnel, with ~15,800 personnel in active service and 6,700 in reserve with around 5,000 civilian personnel. The airforce operates 7 air groups and 273 aircraft, as well as air-borne infantry specialized in combat search and rescue.
The air force operates a number of air craft, including: 70 Fighter Aircraft, 112 Mixed Role Helicopter, 30 Attack Helicopters, 11 UAV's, 21 Transport Planes, and 29 Miscellaneous Aircraft as of 2023.
Organization
The FSDAF is organized into 5 operational air groups, and one special operations unit.
This includes 2 fixed wing combat groups, 2 Helicopter Groups, and 1 Strategic Air Group.
