Military aircraft are subject to airworthiness conditions, including continuous airworthiness, to ensure their safety.
Military aircraft airworthiness processes include the issuance of airworthiness bulletins (AWB) by relevant authorities.
ADs for military aircraft may be available to the public in some cases, but often they are restricted to the concerned design approval holders and military authorities for security reasons.
