Royal Antoran Air Cavalry: Difference between revisions

m
Line 49:
The Air Cavalry saw two combat squadrons and one transport squadron go AWOL during the 1979 Corric Succession Crisis. These pilots took their aircraft, and were attempting to plan an attack on a major military target before they were arrested, tried, and imprisoned. The stolen aircraft where meanwhile scrapped due to the dishonor of being used by insurrectionists.
 
According to current doctrine, the Air Cavalry has four main goals: to defend the nation and its infrastructure and citizens from foreign aggression, to provide capacity to transport ground-based troops and equipment of the [[Royal Corric Defense Forces]], to operate ground-attack capability against surface targets, and to operate as a surveillance and control element during warfare. As of 2021, the Air Cavalry has 68,000 active members and around 300400 aircraft.

== Aircraft ==
The Air Cavalry operates 349391 aircraft across its various Brigades with some being phased out of service over the coming years. The CACR does not have a dedicated modern fighter or interceptor airframe, which has been a point of contention for several decades. The General Staff are currently exploring new options as current inventory is sorted, including the [[Cryria|Cryrian]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_JAS_39_Gripen JAS 39E Gripen] and the [[Volkia|Volkian]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-29 GA-20M] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-31 GA-36].
