The Royal Blazdonian Air Force (RBAF) is the principal air force of the Kingdom of Blazdonia and a branch of the Blazdonian Defence Force, alongside the Royal Blazdonian Army and Royal Blazdonian Navy. The RBAF is responsible for defending the airspace of Blazdonia, providing air support to ground forces, and conducting air operations in support of the country's national interests.
The RBAF is headquartered at RBAF Base Falcon in the capital city of Salt Point City, and it operates a diverse fleet of fixed-wing aircraft, including fighter jets, transport planes, and surveillance aircraft. The RBAF also operates a number of helicopters, which are used for transport, search and rescue, and medical evacuation missions.
The RBAF is commanded by the Chief of the Air Force, who is a senior officer in the Blazdonian Defence Force and reports directly to the Minister of Defence. The Chief of the Air Force is responsible for the overall direction and coordination of the RBAF, and they work closely with the other branches of the defence force to ensure the effectiveness of the country's military capabilities.
