Military
The Ravnian military is a large and respectable fighting force, and while it has been relegated to a more defensive role in recent decades, it does possess the ability to carry out offensive actions. The Ravnian Armed Forces (RAF) is divided into two main branches, the Ravnian Army (RA) and the Ravnain Navy (RN). Ravnains air force, the Ravnian Army Air Force (RAAF) is not an independent military branch, rather it is subservient to the RA. The RAF, as mentioned earlier, is a large military force. With the total number of active service men across both of its branches being 560,000 men, with around one million men in reserve.
The RAF, while being one of the larger militaries in Euclea it is not the most advanced, with most of the militaries equipment being dated to the late 1990's and early 2000's. This puts the RAF at a disadvantage when compared to other nations militaries such as its neighbor Narozalica. The largest of the RAF's branches is the Ravnian Army (RA). The RA is a mechanized army, fielding a large number of MBT's, APC's, self-propelled Howitzers, etc. The Ravnian Army Air Force (RAAF), Ravnias army-subordinate air force currently fields around 480 aircraft. 60 of these aircraft make up Ravnias strategic bombing force, which was mothballed in 2012. This brings Ravnias number of active aircraft to 420.
The Ravnian Navy (RN) is the smaller of the RAF's two branches. The RA currently fields around 50 ships, it does not operate any aircraft carriers or Amphibious assault ships. Instead, the RN is mainly comprised of destroyers and frigates. The RN does also operate a small cruiser force. The RN fields a small submarine fleet comprised of eight Hunter (Охотник) class attack submarines.
