Even the combination of PLAAF and PLAN do not have 3000 fighter air crafts,this is complete bogus
And do PAF really have 460 jets?

Bunch of old migs...this is where USA surpass china not only in quality but on quantity...

Had you read my OP, your dilemma would have perished.
The figure of Indian combat aircraft was given as a comparative in reference by Jane's Defence who are in a better position than you and me to disclose the quantity.![]()

You haven't reported any link.
For all we know you pulled these #s out of your............... hat?

again no offense for Indian aircraft
Just post that source ........(if their is any)![]()
Its really funny
you came to an international forum and tell some one to bought a copy of newspaper ????
And about your last line
thread title
I am feeling pity for your condition
In over enthusiasm you make this thread bt now.....
Sorry i am not like you
Cant make thread on my assumptions
According to Jane's Defence, the following is a break down of military aircraft in the inventory of the major air forces of the world.
US............3,150
China........3000
Russia.......2,180
India..........600
Pakistan.....460
France........300
Italy............227
Spain...........140
Sweden........121
UK................120
Belgium........72
So technically, China has more aircraft than Russia, where as Pakistan is well ahead of France. The source of this report is more concerned of the fact that after the recent defence cut backs, UK, is now lagging behind even Sweden. Janes Defence is often the most referable source, but one wonders regarding the above figures.
Seems you are easily offended character.
Read my above post to you heart's content or better still, pick up a copy of Sunday Times and enlighten your self.
BTW, 600 or 1600, it's quality that matters and counts.
Again not my prospective but Jane's Defence.Well I think that there are some serious issues with the list that you have posted
With reportedly, a number of Tornado Squadrons being axed.For one you have the number for UK totally wrong , as of today RAF operates 120 Tornado GR4 and 64 Typhoons
I highly doubt they are all in squadron service. While many must be in reserve.While Swedish airforce has ordered over 205 SAAB Gripen out of which around 160+ are in service
Mirage-5 ???French Air force has 250 Mirage 2000 and 56 Rafale along with 65 Mirage 5
It was an ad-hoc comparative, not a break down of an A2Z.The list also does not include Japan , Taiwan , Israel , Saudi Arabia all of which have over 350 fighters and Turkey which has over 400 fighters
