Yuktobanian Air Force

The Yuktobanian Air Force, abbreviated as YAF is the airborne arm of the Yuktobanian military.

The YAF fought alongside the Osean Defense Forces during the Belkan War, and once more against their former allies during the first half of the Circum-Pacific War in late 2010. They employ a large variety of aircraft, ranging from light fighters like the MiG-21bis Fishbed and MiG-29A Fulcrum to strategic bombers like the Avro Vulcan, transports and helicopters.

Similar to the Free Erusea Air Force, many of the Yuktobanian Air Force's squadrons are named after astronomy terms, such as Russian-made satellites.

Belkan War

 * Komyeta Squadron (эскадрилья "Комета", Comet Squadron)- an F-16C Fighting Falcon squadron composed by pilots Yuri Raslov and Ruslan Tolstoy. The pair defected to the revolutionary group "A World With No Boundaries" for reasons unknown, and assisted in the defense of the XB-0 Hresvelgr cruiser during the Second Battle of the Waldreich Mountains. Both members are serving time in Yuktobanian prison.

In the events of "Journey Home", they attempt to bomb November City, however they are all shot down by the 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron.

 * Kvant Squadron (эскадрилья "Квант", Quantum Squadron)- The largest known Yuktobanian squadron seen in the Circum-Pacific War, they fought alongside the Demons of Razgriz and the Osean forces at the climax of the conflict. Named after the Kvant-1 and Kvant-2 modules of the Mir space station.
