Build your own Airforce

Ok lets see who’s the most creative.

Your country, Xac, after 30 years has just gained independance from Qaz and Daz countries. Your country when broke off, took a lot of land from Qaz and Daz to which they want back. Along with that, there is a significant minorities from Qaz and Daz which live in your occupied territory and are quickly rebelling. Qaz and Daz have worn each other out from fighting but as it appears they will both attack you in years to come as the situtation does not look good. It is a matter of time before Qaz and Daz recover economically and politically.

Qaz’s Army consists of approximately 450000 men, over 3000 tanks, 3000 artillery pieces, many air defense batteries protecting them. Their Airforce consists of approximately 75 Mig-29SMTs with on order some 45 F-15Ks. Their Navy is highly concentrated with a lot of ships, submarines, amphibious ships and 1 Aircraft Carrier due to be equipped with 40 Mig-29Ks which are on order.

Daz, a more of a land and air power than a naval power. It’s highly trained 300000 man army, 1500 tanks, over 2000 artillery pieces and over 50 AH-1Z Cobra gunships pose a big threat. It’s Airforce consists of 1 Tu-22M3 Backfires, 30 F-14D Tomcats and on order are approximately 100 Rafales. It’s navy is less of a threat than that of Qaz but it’s a small submarine force for purely offensive reasons armed with cruise and inaccurate ballistic missiles.

Since they were at war all their airfields were more concentrated on each other’s borders however now they are building airfields closer to you. Airfields in purple dots are the operational ones and airfields in black dots are new ones they are building.(as shown on the map)

Your country. You have a rather low military budget of approximately 2bn USD which will go up in the future. Though do not specify the number of aircraft or whatever, just what aircraft you want, this number was put here to give you a clue of how big your pocket is.
Your job is to build an airforce/air defense to successfully neutralize your enemies’ airforces, navies and armies. You must have sufficient Anti-Shipping, ASW, COIN, Maritime Patrol, Reconnaissance and Striking aircraft. You also must have at minimum medium lift transports, helicopters for army and etc. When you list your aircraft you also may list what weapons you want with them, and you also may customize as long as it’s reasonable. As provided on the map, there are sections in your country, thats where you may choose to place SAMs or Additional Airfields.

When thinking of this you should take into account;
1)purchasing costs
2)service life costs and quality(can be broke up into: maintenance[# of different types of aircraft and their commonalities of engines, avionics and airframe as well as meantime before overhauls and it‘s costs], running cost/h factors, engine, radar & airframe life)
3)weapons commonality and their purchasing costs
*weapons commonality is directly related in the type of aircraft and their avionics
4)capability(performance, technology, # of roles performed, availability, growth space, weapons quality & width of selection)
5)political strings attached
