The bomber itself is designed for a maximum speed of Mach 3 (3200 km/h), though the cruising speed is only Mach 2.8 (3000 km/h), with an operational range of 3400-3500km. It is believed to be nuclear-capable and is designed for supersonic reconnaissance, anti-ship, and strategic bomber with a maximum payload of ~50,000kg (~110,000lbs).

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.

Bombers
XL-70 Xian H-6.png Posadastan Strategic bomber 300+ Various iterations and modernizations of this aircraft has occurred since its introduction in 1970. The majority have been made into maritime strike bombers with a few being cruise missile carriers and conventional and/or nuclear capable bombers. There also exist a few modified to serve various other roles like AWACS, EW, recon, and aerial refueling. They can travel at a cruising speed of 0.75M and have an operational of 1800-2000km (depending on the variant).
Sukhoi T-4 T4.png USSM Supersonic Strategic bomber 6-8 Acquired from the USSM during the end of its warlord era, the Sukhoi T-4s operated by Posadastan have seen minimal use. The bomber itself is designed for a maximum speed of Mach 3 (3200 km/h), though the cruising speed is only Mach 2.8 (3000 km/h), with an operational range of 3400-3500km. It is believed to be nuclear-capable and is designed for supersonic reconnaissance, anti-ship, and strategic bomber with a maximum payload of ~50,000kg (~110,000lbs). The exact number possessed by Posadastan, most are stored in underground facilities, but satellite photos suggest anywhere from 6 to 8 total.

They were produced twice, the first in the 1980s and 90s, and again in the 2010s.

The estimated top speed is 2.04M with an operational range of 2200-2500km.
