The
Yemeni Air Force (;
transliterated:
al-Quwwat al-Jawwiya al-Yamaniya) is the air operations branch of the
Yemeni Armed Forces. It is equipped with both eastern and western types of aircraft. Numbers of aircraft can not be confirmed but servicibility of these aircraft is low. Aircraft have been acquired by donations from other countries or either supporting both the
Soviet Union or the
United States during the
Cold War. However, most of the air force was destroyed by airstrikes conducted by a coalition of Arab states during the
2015 military intervention in Yemen.
