The Zokesian Royal Air Force (ZRAF) is the air service branch of the Zokesian military.

History

The Zokesian Air Force has seen battle both at home and abroad, participating in the Zoke-Sovie War, the Doren War, Red Horde War, Doren War, 1st and 2nd Continental War, and many other operations.

Organisation

The Zokesian Royal Air Force is comprised of 5 Fighter Groups, tasked with Air defense of Zokesia. Each fighter group has 3 separate squadrons of fighter aircraft. The strength of each fighter group is 10 Z-80, 10 F-52J Kargadan, and 10 "Kaminari". Additional support from foreign imports began in 2140 and increased steadily during the Zokesian Civil War, with outside aircraft making up over 50% of the Air Force by 2144.

The Z-80 has been a staple of Zokesian frontline fighter service in one form or another since 2065, and the newest versions are dedicated air to air fighters with the purpose of taking air superiority from the enemy, though they are able to load ground ordinance once their primary task has been acheived. Alongside these, the Kaminari likewise is air superiority oriented and has little to no air to ground capability. The F-52J Kargadan, however, is designed to be a dedicated multirole aircraft, capable of precision strikes on ground targets, CAS, SEAD, DEAD, and air defense. A multi-purpose tool, the F-52J is well liked by its pilots.

Bomber Command is the name given to the Zokesian strategic command overseeing long range bombing operations. Their primary tool is the B-52, though in the past B-100 blackouts, V-4s, and other aircraft have been used for the purpose. 1st Bomber Squadron, based in Freetowne, has 5 Heavy bombers at their disposal and act as Zokesia's standoff deterrent to opposing nations.
