Arsytian Atomic Forces

The Atomic Forces (Arsytian: Atomivoimat) is the atomic warfare branch of the Arsytian Workers' Army, responsible for all missiles with a range greater than 1,000 km and strategic bombers with nuclear strikes as their primary mission. The youngest branch of the Workers' Army, the Atomic Forces were founded in 1959, assuming responsibility for Arsytia's nuclear bomber and ICBM force. For much of the Cold War, it was officially considered the most important branch in spite of its small size. Since the completion of the GOCE's orbital missile defense system, the Atomic Forces have undergone considerable reorganization and downsizing, especially after the retirement of Arsytia's last ICBMs in 2002. Consequently, the Atomic Forces now primarily operate supersonic nuclear bombers and long-range cruise missiles.

Numbering approximately 89,700-strong, the Atomic Forces are split between 4 Rocket Armies and 2 Strategic Aviation Divisions. In wartime, they, and all other nuclear-capable forces, are directly subordinated to the Revolutionary War Council.

Atomic Aviation Division
Similar to the Strategic Aviation Divisions of the Air Forces, the Atomic Forces operate Atomic Aviation Divisions. They operate 180 of the supersonic, swing-wing Li-110 strategic bomber. Unlike the older Ka-70 and Ti-30 bombers operated by the Air Forces, the Li-110 is entirely dedicated to carrying out atomic strike missions—although theoretically capable of conventional strikes, it is un-optimized for this role due to being limited to its internal missile racks only.
