History
Second Ekharnian Civil War (1928-1929)
Main article: 4th June Coup d'État, Second Ekharnian Civil War, First Battle of Novokhäservsk
On June 4th 1928, a coup-d'état was instigated by Elbrukan Corps Commander Danylo Korovjev and takes office as the first and only military leader in Ekharnian history. He was the first to reform the Armed Forces' structure and system since 1912, creating the Federal Air Force in the process on the 20th of November 1928 and buying foreign planes to make its own, starting the legendary Jagrimov Ja-XX series of aircrafts. During the civil war the air force was decisive, as the insurgency didn't have any aircrafts.
On December 18th 1929, Colonel Ogiden Shtormov and Republican leader Andrej Nakimov entered Novokhäservsk with 5,000 men and 30 stolen Ja-5s attack aircrafts, bombarding the Presidential Palace and killing most of the cabinet including 2/3rd of the lower house in the right wing. As they entered and captured Commander Korovjev, the first real air battle in Ekharnian history took place, the 30 stolen Ja-5s against 25 more modern Ja-8s. The Republicans fought to death and lost 8 aircrafts while the enemy lost them all, the legend of the first Ekharnian Ace Vladimir Koroktevich was created, it is theorized that he took down half of the enemy crafts, even if historians think he actually shot down 6 of them. He was the first to receive the Order of the Federal Glory of Ekharnia.
During the Second Republic (1929-1941)
The Air Force had to modernise, Jagrimov was given the exclusivity on fighter and attack aircrafts manufacturing and during the Second Republic, they produced 4 aircrafts, the Ja-9, Ja-11, Ja-12 and Ja-14, the last of them being a total failure and has only been produced 20 times. The Ja-12 kept the place of main fighter aircraft with a modernised version named the Ja-12M, then other models including the Ja-12P for parades, Ja-12S for the special air squadrons and the Ja-12X for prototype guns and bombs testing. More recently, it had been decided that Koroktevich Aeronautics Industries would handle bombers, creating the first prototype Ko-935Z heavy bomber and being signed into 3 different aircrafts, the light Ko-935L1, the medium Ko-935M7 and the heavy Ko-935H3 bombers
