Prospective
Vinalia expressed interest in 2009, in acquiring Marchenian aircraft mainly the !F-16 to replace it's aging fleet of VAF-01 multirole aircraft. Vinalian negotiations over acquiring a modernized version of the aircraft increased following the buying of the Gearing class frigates and some aircraft from Halland, in 2014 2 aircraft arrived in Vinalia for training and demonstration. The cost of acquisition was a problem for Vinalian authorities which desired to acquire 30 aircraft to replace it's aging fleet, but would run into monetary constraints. In 2016 negotiations were pulled off by Nuxica citing diverging interests.
In November 2020 Vinalia and Soravia re opened negotiations which had been frozen for several years on the acquisition of the Soravian made G-7, negotitions were short as in March the Minister-President Omelyan Pavlov, announced the acquisition of 12 fighters and several highly advanced missiles from Soravia the KR-31 with the possible anti-naval variant of the missile acquired.
People's Guard
The People's Guard was established in 1995, to serve the role of Gendermarie, under the control of provincial governors. They provide police assistance and security at the governors orders, they're armed and paid by the federal government but only under decree of Parliament can they be federalized. By federal law each province and federal district is to maintain a force of minimum 100 men, and a maximum of 5,000. Currently there are 35,000 People's Guard.
The people's guard utilize the same equipment as the regular army.
