The RLA Air Force represents one of the 5 branches of the Red Liberation Army of Posadastan.
History
First established in the late 1910s by the Royal Amonian Army, the air force was composed primarily of smaller planes, largely for light-bombing and recon missions. These proved effective against communist insurgents during the ensuing 12 year Amonian Civil War, from 1921-1933. After this period, with the communist takeover, much wasn't done except for occasional foreign purchases until the 1960s. During this time, the ever-more-paranoid Tocikist regime began, under its autarkist policies, forcing certain factories to manufacture and machine parts for the production of an array of war materials, including planes. During this time, much of Posadastan's modern aviation infrastructure was created, included a series of small airports, air bases, and underground storage facilities. As well, the period was marked by extensive IP theft from abroad. However, three main companies came out on top: Saidę, SAMP, and Xai-Laputa. Saidę focused largely on the production and imitation of foreign fighters, but lacked much of the indigenous technology and manufacturing needed to make high-end products to compete with foreign nations. The Southern Area Manufacturing Plant (SAMP) focuses primarily on non-avionic products, such as missiles and land-based vehicles, but does produce a wide array of smaller, light-aircraft, including the successful PIA and JXX series of light attack/trainer/counter-insurgency aircraft. Lastly is Xai-Laputa (XL), which is dedicated almost exclusively to the production of transport and bomber aircraft, which was founded in 1962.
