For modern warfare, the competition for air supremacy is crucial.
Because once the air supremacy is lost in the war, then ground troops and facilities can only be allowed to bombard the enemy country.
It is precisely because of this that many small countries develop asymmetric air forces and focus on building air forces.
is the most typical of Israel, with a strong air force, but there are exceptions to this.
The most typical example is Mongolian . What many people want to know is, how effective is the Mongolian Air Force? You may not have imagined it.
Mongolia has a vast territory and is larger than many European major countries.
has a vast territory, making its airspace garrison mission very severe.
So after Mongolia was established, it actually wanted to build a strong air force, so that I would be more confident.
, but my financial strength is too limited, and the annual fiscal revenue of is not enough for the basic domestic guarantee.
is difficult to buy advanced fighter jets that cost hundreds of millions or tens of billions.
So to this day, it is no exaggeration to say that the Mongolian air force basically has no combat power.
is basically just a decoration, why do you say so? There are three main points:
first, with less than 1,000 combat personnel.
The Mongolian Air Force has 1,600 personnel, but except for civilian and logistical support personnel, the actual air force is less than 1,000.
is divided into several squadrons, focusing on the capital and in the border areas.
basically did not arrange the air force, because it would be in vain if it was arranged, and it would not work without strength;
second, from the perspective of weapons and equipment.
Most of the fighter jets in Mongolia now have to be retired and retired and scrapped.
, such as 44 MiG21s, are no longer available, and there are more than a dozen transporters, s, and helicopters, which are basically scrapped. The most advanced fighter jets used in
are five MiG29 fighters, which are also in the 1980s level.
In addition, there are 25 helicopters, more than 30 gun helicopters , etc.
That is to say, once a war breaks out, there are only 5 fighter jets that can be used in the entire Mongolian Air Force, which is almost in a defensive state;
3, from the perspective of training.
Mongolia has greatly reduced pilot training due to insufficient funds.
The main air force mission is transportation, and combat training is basically very little, and it is useless after training.
In recent years, Mongolia wants to introduce advanced fighter jets, but has no money.
So Mongolia's air force is actually the weakest air force in Asia, and it is basically useless.
