Kusian Air Forces

The Kusian Air Forces (Kusian: Kuśkäji Ĺetadĺömaktajš, Kusian Air Forces) is the aerial warfare branch of the Kusian Armed Forces. Kusian Air Forces provide airspace defense, offense and battlefield support and logistical duties to Kusian Armed Forces. Kusian Air Forces were founded in 1913 with declaration of the royal government of Kusian Empire about separation of reconnaissance balloons, artillery spotter balloons, hot air balloon battlefield mail into its own branch of Kusian Imperial Army. Kusian Air Forces were mostly conducting civilian roles for the royal government until the beginning of the First Great War when multiple of the aircraft pioneering companies produced first armed aircrafts for Kusian Imperial Army.

Role
The main role of Kusian Air Forces concludes with defense of Kusian and allied airspace, emergency situation handling and logistical support for internal and international needs.

Kusian Aerial Defense Network is an extensive system of early warning, constant detection, identification, targeting, leading and data network of Kusian Armed Forces that occupies the entire territory of Kus with stationary and mobile radar complexes, specialised but publically unidentified roads acting as runways for the aircraft, underground, overground and wireless data networks and multitude of supervisory and observatory installations that stretch into Kudravina and Savland as well as joints and shares data and information with their respective ministries of defence.

All of Kusian combat aircraft have constant connection with the data network, allowing Kusian pilots to have constant target sharing with friendly aircraft and assisting targeting from land based and other observatory stations, extending the range of Kusian aircraft detection and identifying possible hostile aircraft in friend air space. It allows Kusian Air Force not only to know where the enemy, who the enemy is but also much earlier than the enemy could detect Kusian or other friendly aircraft.
