A pitiful attempt at a response Neptune :tdown: You think I don't know that there are no type 45s permanently stationed at Cyprus? And why does it matter that the type 45s are not stationed at Cyprus? Dafuq you trying to get at? It would be a simple task for the Royal Navy to deploy a task...

1) I accept I was wrong on the AEW&C issue, I wasn't aware they had entered service yet. 2) Turkey has cruise missiles too, ok? And what exactly is turkey going to do with them? Fire upon RAF Akrotiri? Waste of time with land based Rapier point missile defence systems and type 45 destroyers in...

You yet continue to vomit the same hogwash. Good luck with your logic (or should I say, lack thereof) and I hope it serves you well. But before I let you go, a question: Is every one who disagrees with you and calls you out on your trashy logic an Indian? Or is that just some false reality you...

Your ranking is still silly and appears to be based upon a purely unrealistic hypothetical scenario where entire air force A fights entire air force B in some magical air force arena. :tdown: No, the RAF played a rather vital role - the Vulcan bombing raid for example! The strategic air lift of...

I fear my friend this last paragraph of your reply sums its up quite nicely, we both have different perspectives of what an air force capabilities should be because the air forces we are discussing find themselves in totally different situations. Us Canadians have similar strategic priorities to...

Also, to those who think I may be Indian - nope, I am Canadian with German and Irish ancestry.

applesauce just some additional points; 1) I'm very aware that China has a handful more AEW&C aircraft then the RAF or French Air Force, yet that's my point, only a handful more (about ~5 more AEW&C). However, take into account, aircraft capabilities and levels of maintenance. It is an...

Firstly, regarding Speeder 2's reply :omghaha:, you are not worth my time. Anyway... As for applesauce, well at least you can grasp the points I made in my post, and given the nature of your reply agree China has very limited power outside of its immediate sovereign territory and further...

You are clearly a simpleton and not worth my time. However, for the benefit of others I will outline the most flawed point to your argument. "For the starter, China's strategic bomber fleet H-6K (could load up 6 giant cruise missles)has effective combat range of about 4,000km. Name 1 plane...

According to the experts the Chinese Air Force would be incapable of winning a conflict against Japan over the disputed islands in the East China sea! I cannot post a link so Google "flightglobal IN FOCUS: Chinese air force not yet a match for Japan's"

Its silly to rank world air forces, how can one compare the Brazilian Air Force to the Egyptian Air Force, or the Japanese Air Force to the German Air Force? The fact is that 99% of world air forces are only capable of protecting sovereign airspace with limited power projection capabilities. So...
