The Afthonian Air Force, officially referred to as the Afthonian Military Forces Air Force (Gionan: Αφθονίακές Στρατιωτικές Δυνάμεις Πολεμική Αεροπορία; script: Afthoníakés Stratiotikés Dynámeis Polemikí Aeroporía, abbreviated as the ASDPA or AMFAF), is the aerial service branch of the Afthonian Military Forces (AMF) tasked with two primary duties: ensuring aerial superiority in theaters of conflict, provide rapid mobility capabilities in support of other branches and to provide an integrated ISTAR network and capability for the AMF. The AMFAF is comprised of 156,200 personnel making it the second largest branch of the AMF. The Air Force is divided into three primary sub-components: Combat Operations, Aggressive Reconnaissance (ARC) Operations and Mobility Operations. Combat Operations is the AMF Air Force's primary combat power and operates fighter, bomber and unmanned combat aerial vehicles. Fighter jets operated by the Air Force is largely comprised off fourth-generation fighters with the R-12 Vulture alongside the R-13, R-14 and R-15 Tempest series of fighter jets being the primary workhorse of AMFAF. The use of the drones has become increasingly common in the modern day with the D-9 Talon used as the primary UCAV of the air force, capable of performing both combat and non-combat related sorties. The N-96 Fortress is utilized as the Air Force's primary strategic bomber capable of carrying a variety of ordnance and payloads. The Air Force was formally established in 1951 when it was split off from the AMF Army, providing the AMF with a dedicated air force. Prior to its split the Air Force was known as the Army Air Corps, a subcomponent of the AMF Army. ARC Operations is responsible for most ISTAR related operations, utilizing a variety of aircraft, drones and satellite network to fulfill their objectives. Mobility Operations utilize small, medium and large transport aircraft to provide both tactical and strategic airlift capability for the armed forces, capable of rapidly transporting elements of the armed forces to anywhere within Veleda and its surrounding regions within 24 hours, and globally within 48 hours. The Air Force saw extensive deployments in the Drometian War where it primarily provided close air support for ground and naval forces. As part of a mutual defense treaty between Afthonia and East Drometia the Air Force not only training, equipment but also maintains a sizeable garrison from XX and XX Air Force Bases in East Drometia operated by the XXth Air Force division.
