Levant Arab Air Defence Force

The Levant Arab Air Defence Force (LAADF) is the branch of the Levantine Armed Forces responsible for aerospace defence, and operation of military satellites.

Aerospace defence
The early warning systems of the LAADF are combined with the Genji systems based in Latakia. The Genji-made Kirin early-warning radar blanket the Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia, monitoring for missile attacks and aircraft movements.

The S-400, in the right positions can fire at high-altitude aircraft within extended optimised range. It will force enemy aircraft into lower altitude, and be rely on GPS-guided stand-off munitions. The Pantsir-S close the low-altitude gap with short-range missiles and gun firepower to shoot down incoming missiles and munitions that would be a gross-overkill in resources for the S-400 to handle.

In the inventory of the LAADF are the 9K33 Osa, Buk, S-300, S-400, and Pantsir-S.

Combat history
In peacetime, the LAADF's operations are usually the shooting down of surveillance drones. The Pantsir-S has proven itself to be able to down various modern-grade drones. The combat records are shared to Russian manufacturers towards the development of missiles tailored against unnamed aerial vehicles.
