Belkan Air Force is the air force of the Armed Forces of Belka and is the third largest, world's oldest and the most powerful air force at the planet of Strangereal. During the Belkan War, the Belkans sent two Squadrons into the battle against the Allied forces, most Osean and Yuktobanian forces. The Belkan Air Force played a medium role in the Circum-Pacific War, 15 years later.
The Belkan Air Force was viewed as the top Air Force on the face of the planet. The Belkan Air Force produced top pilots with extensive knowledge from lessons learned in combat, coupled with the latest in aviation technology. The Belkan Air Force has also been accredited with success of Belka's expansion and acquirement of South Belka, which lead to the foundation of the Belkan Federation.
The Belkan Air Force was the 'leading edge' of the sudden Belkan Advance in surrounding nations, at the beginning of the Belkan War and quickly pushed back all Osean, Ustian, Rectan, Gebet, Ratio and Sapinish forces, with lightning speed. The Belkan advance was halted in 1995 in the Republic of Ustio by mercenary forces of the Ustian Air Force 6th Air Division. From this point, the Belkan Air Force continued to fight until the war's end in June of 1995. Despite their amazing record, the Belkan Air Force was defeated by the Allied Forces of Osea, Ustio and Sapin. Near the end of the war, the Belkan Air Force was rarely seen. With the war's end, the Belkan Air Force was completely dismantled. Many of it's ace pilots had either left the country, the Air Force or joined the Osean Air Defense Force. In 2010, during the Circum-Pacific War, the Belkan Air Force had gained access to a limited amount of aircraft via Grunder Industries, meaning it was officially reformed.

Led by the "Blue Heron" (also known as "The Man Who Upholds Honor"), Dimitri Heinreich, his squadron was one of the nation's elites. Heinreich received command of the 51st Squadron in 1988, around the same time of his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel. This squad left a mark early on in the Belkan War. On March 27th 1995; all 9 pilots of the FAF (Fato Air Force) 3rd Air Division, 122nd Tactical Fighter Squadron, launched a campaign to assist the Fatoan and Gebetan armies in defending their country. In 5 minutes, the Indigo Squadron systematically destroyed all 9 F-14D Super Tomcat's of the elite 122nd, thus effectively ending Fato's and Gebet's ability to continue fighting against Belka. Despite this sucess, they failed to end Ustio's ability to fight, as they lose to the Galm Team during Op. Choker One.
