The '''Axdel Armed Forces''' serves as the military of [[Axdel]], tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force, outfitted with the latest technological innovations available, and utilising renown training methods. A modernisation scheme implemented in 2004 is currently in operation to replace older units whilst also reducing the cost of future maintenance. Due to this, the greatest fraction of the military budget of ♅47bn ($40.9bn) is going towards the replacement/upgrading of older equipment.
The '''Axdelian Armed Forces''' serves as the military of [[Axdel]], tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force with modern, sophisticated equipment, renown standards of training and a flexible yet powerful combat doctrine.


Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when [[Great Morstaybishlia]] allowed the newly formed principality of Axdel its own independent military detachment, the Axdelian Defence Force. When Axdel transitioned into becoming a Dominion in 1917, the ADF expanded and was put under the responsibility of the new Axdelian parliament. In 1966, the ADF backed the Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, gaining independent but remaining broadly unrecognised as a state. After being reorganised into the Axdelian armed forces, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting as part of the Ribenstadt pact in the [[Auroran Imperial War]], leading a campaign of total war against Morstaybishlia and their allies. Post-AIW, the AAF played a key role in overthrowing the apartheid government of North Lyrevale during the [[Lyrevale Continuation War]]. During the Axdelian Civil War, the AAF was fractured between loyalty to Admiral [[Huralo Yensi]] and the legislature, but eventually succeeded in forcing him to renounce his leadership and usher in democratic reforms that lead to the end of the war. Since 1996 The armed forces have since adopted an active and cooperative stance on the global theatre with Axdel as a founding member of the [[IRSA]] and supporting their peacekeeping efforts.
==General Equipment==


The AAF is considered to be one of Urth's largest and most capable militaries, with a defence budget of ♅82.5 billion Kiribs accounting for 2% of the nations nominal GDP, the ability to project power across much of the globe, a robust intelligence and counterintelligence service supported by the GSSI, and a recent history of largely successful military and humanitarian operations.

== History ==

== Present day ==

=== Expenditure ===
From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at over 20% in 2017 during the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]]. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards humanitarian aid, rebuilding, infrastructure development and social programs, with the 2021 budget announced at 82.4 Billion Kiribs. Funding is divided between branches based on their needs at the beginning of each fiscal year and may be amended quarterly with changing circumstances.

A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development, often supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as [[Sentinel-ARMS]] and National Ballistics Systems.

|Produced from 1994, the modernised Khaurus KM variant is optimised to function primarily as an infantry support vehicle, taking advantage of the MBT's relative light weight, manoeuvrability and firepower. Is set to eventually be replaced by Kareqa 2 CG's, but has had its service life extended to at least 2030 due to losses during the ACW.

==Army==

[[Image:Virtus.jpg|right|thumb|250px||An Axdelian Army soldier during a training exercise]]The Axdelian Army is the principle land warfare force of the Axdel Armed Forces. The force is primarily tasked with the defence of the nation, though it is well capable of overseas deployment and is an able invasion force. It deploys the Taurus lineage of main battle tanks, the Taurus 3 being based on the Kuthernburg Cougar 2 tank though highly modified. However, the Taurus 3 proved ineffective against Xagrurgian Warrior MBT's during the [[Auroran-Pacific War]], with neither tank being able to consistently penetrate the others armour. Thus, the Taurus 4, armed with a larger 130mm gun which has proved to be more effective against composite armour, is being rushed through development and is expected to enter service as early as 2021. Recently, the army has replaced its ageing Norogradian armoured fighting vehicles with the highly modular SV AFV, which has 6 configurations each using the same base chassis, vastly reducing complexity and maintenance costs

==Navy==

The Axdelian Navy is the principle sea warfare force of the Axdel Armed Forces. It consists of three fleets, the surface fleet, the sub-surface fleet, and the logistics fleet. The surface fleet is comprised of surface vessels of the navy, whereas the sub-surface fleet is comprised of the submarines, and the logistics fleet comprised of the axillary support and replenishment ships.

==Air Force==

The Axdel Air force is the principle aerial warfare force of the Axdel Armed Forces. It deploys multiple attack aircraft for establishing air superiority, interdiction of enemy forces, and the precision elimination of ground targets. The air force makes ubiquitous use of UCAV's in combat for long-range ground attack missions and reconnaissance, and has very well developed stealth technology. Electronic warfare attacks are a major concern to the air force, thus they employ a wide variety of countermeasure suites and jamming equipment. The Axdelian navy employs one Ziggurat-class CATOBAR aircraft carrier, upon which Navy-pattern Jackdaw air-superiority and VTOL Raven attack fighters can be deployed, as well as a sizeable force of UCAV's.

==Secrets and Intelligence Agency==

The Secrets and Intelligence Agency is the unofficial espionage branch of the armed forces. It consists of several sub-divisions for domestic and international operations. The domestic affairs division of reconnaissance is not funded by the military budget, and is part of governmental spending. Alongside the Axdelian National Space Agency, is responsible for the operation of Axdelian reconnaissance satellites, the network of which is believed to be highly developed. (Leaked Content: known operational satellite classes include; Phyang photographic imaging, Lhyster radar imaging, Trojan electronic eavesdropping, Mytos ballistic launch detection, and Pagista nuclear explosion detection satellites.)

The Axdelian Armed Forces serves as the military of Axdel, tasked with defence of the country, global peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and to promote the wider interests of the nation. It is a highly capable force with modern, sophisticated equipment, renown standards of training and a flexible yet powerful combat doctrine.

Thought the political landscape has changed significantly in recent history, the AAF can be traced back to the early 19th century when Great Morstaybishlia allowed the newly formed principality of Axdel its own independent military detachment, the Axdelian Defence Force. When Axdel transitioned into becoming a Dominion in 1917, the ADF expanded and was put under the responsibility of the new Axdelian parliament. In 1966, the ADF backed the Noroist coup led by Winston Ulysses which took control of the region, gaining independent but remaining broadly unrecognised as a state. After being reorganised into the Axdelian armed forces, it proved itself as a highly capable force fighting as part of the Ribenstadt pact in the Auroran Imperial War, leading a campaign of total war against Morstaybishlia and their allies. Post-AIW, the AAF played a key role in overthrowing the apartheid government of North Lyrevale during the Lyrevale Continuation War. During the Axdelian Civil War, the AAF was fractured between loyalty to Admiral Huralo Yensi and the legislature, but eventually succeeded in forcing him to renounce his leadership and usher in democratic reforms that lead to the end of the war. Since 1996 The armed forces have since adopted an active and cooperative stance on the global theatre with Axdel as a founding member of the IRSA and supporting their peacekeeping efforts.

The AAF is considered to be one of Urth's largest and most capable militaries, with a defence budget of ♅82.5 billion Kiribs accounting for 2% of the nations nominal GDP, the ability to project power across much of the globe, a robust intelligence and counterintelligence service supported by the GSSI, and a recent history of largely successful military and humanitarian operations.

History

Present day

Expenditure

From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at over 20% in 2017 during the Auroran-Cerenerian War. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards humanitarian aid, rebuilding, infrastructure development and social programs, with the 2021 budget announced at 82.4 Billion Kiribs. Funding is divided between branches based on their needs at the beginning of each fiscal year and may be amended quarterly with changing circumstances.

A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development, often supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as Sentinel-ARMS and National Ballistics Systems.
