Dark Earth: Exercise Warhammer

RAF Germany and reinforcing Strike Command aircraft have tactical nuclear bombs and some air to ground missiles at this time.

The Red Air Force does have strike aircraft and bombers, but the West has a distinct technological and qualitative edge in the air.

They don’t even have the enormous numerical edge at this point, given the larger size of the major Western air forces, which is in part a consequence of continued conventional rearmament in the 1950s rather than the New Look emphasis on strategic nuclear weapons and massive retaliation.

It depends. The British aim to have their aforementioned European strength by 1970, the Germans will have at least 2800 combat aircraft, the French a similar number (with their fighters able to fulfill a dual role by nature of geography), the Austro-Hungarians ~1800 and the USAF ~3700 in theatre once reinforced. Even before factoring in the smaller Western European/NATO states, that gives well over 12,000 aircraft. The Red Air Force will have ~18000 tactical fighters in theatre, which, when reinforced by bombers and reserves, only have a margin of perhaps 2:1 at best.

In the 1980s, NATO had 1950 fighter-bombers, 740 interceptors and 285 recon planes, reinforced rapidly by 1900 aircraft from North America (4875).
The Warsaw Pact had 1900 fighter-bombers, 4370 interceptors, 600 recon and 350 bombers (7220).

With the qualitative edge enjoyed by the West, the Dark Earth situation is probably worse off by a fair bit.

Both sides will lose numbers over the 60s and 70s, naturally.

They will, because of their larger size, the larger area they need to defend, the different threat profiles each alliance bloc faces, the greater emphasis on conventional weapons systems and several other factors.

As of 1963, there is a composite 'light' brigade and a fighter wings made up of squadrons that are rotated through. There is similarly a South African/Rhodesian/Kenyan brigade + wing and a Prydain/Newfoundland/New Avalon brigade + wing.
