Note. I changed data for TuAF 240 F-16C + 30 F-16C block 50+. Neptunes data is not reasonable. On the other hand I counted Turkish F-16C as 1.1 vs air to air and 1.05 vs. air to ground, because they were upgraded compare to regular F-16C.

Last Block 50+ F-16 delivered by TAI as part of Peace Onyx IV Program :: F-16.net

I have query you counted PAF F-16 older as Block A/B or as MLUed one. bec after MLU they will be equal to Block 50+ with Aim-120C5. thanks

 

[zeetr]

***** please only 50 jf-17s for PAF

 

[Mehrdad1111]

Just WOW. Thanks for the list. I bet it was hard work. And its more or less a realictic picture.

I have doubts about where you placed India, Israel, and Turkey.

And seriously, France and the UK below Taiwan? India 4th? Israel 5th!?

Hard to believe. A good list nonetheless.

[American_Millenium]

UK has only 100 Typhoons which can be used as fighters

And 112 Panavia Tornado...

Israel has over 400 F-16 and F-15 (all modified with Python 4/5)

Only 25 of which are F-15E types, and 100-110 of the F-16's are outdated A/B models.

Also, have you assessed the quality of India's Mig-29's?

 

[500]

And 112 Panavia Tornado...

They are IDS model with very limited air to air.

Only 25 of which are F-15E types, and 100-110 of the F-16's are outdated A/B models.

Still Israel has 3 times more fighters which can be used in BVR and F-16A can be used in ambush/base defence. These guys are light and very agile.

Also, have you assessed the quality of India's Mig-29's?

F-16C = 1/1
Mig-29 = 0.9/0.5

 

[American_Millenium]

They are IDS model with very limited air to air.

So this is only for fighter aircraft then??

Still Israel has 3 times more fighters which can be used in BVR and F-16A can be used in ambush/base defence. These guys are light and very agile.

3x more fighters compared to whom? BTW, did you get all of this info from one source or a collection of them?

F-16C = 1/1
Mig-29 = 0.9/0.5

Why do they have two ratings for each of them?

 

[500]

So this is only for fighter aircraft then??

No, I count both, although air to air has priority, because without achieving air superiority u cant really bomb.

3x more fighters compared to whom?

Compare to UK. UK has 100 BVR fighters, Israel - 300.

BTW, did you get all of this info from one source or a collection of them?

Mainly Wikipedia + Flight International world air force report.

Why do they have two ratings for each of them?

First number is air to air second air to ground. Check first post.

I was bored and decided to estimate airforces strength. I wrote down the list of active aircrafts for each air force and then counted score.

Here is method I used. F-16C I used as base: 1 air-air point/1 air to ground point. For other aircrafts my estimates are follow:

F-16C = 1/1
F-16A = 0.8/0.8
F-16 block 52+ aka F-16I = 1.1/1.2
F-16 block 60 = 1.3/1.2
F-15A = 1.2/0.5
F-15C = 1.3/0.5
F-15E = 1.4/1.5
F-15S = 1.3/1.4
F-15SG = 1.5/1.5
F-18A = 1/1.1
F-18F = 1.3/1.3
F-2 = 1.3/1.2
F-16AM = 1/08
Mirage 2000 = 1/1
Typhoon (MESA radar) = 1.3/1.1
Rafale (PESA radar) = 1.2/1.2
Tornado IDS = 0.5/1.2
Tornado ADV = 1/0.6
F-4 = 0.4/0.7
F-4 Terminator = 0.6/1
Su-27 = 1.2/0.4
MiG-29 = 0.9/0.5
Su-30MKI = 1.3/1.2
Su-30MKK = 1.2/1.2
MiG-21 aka J7 = 0.3/0.4
MiG-27 = 0.3/0.7
JF-17 = 0.9/0.8
AMX = 0.3/0.5
Mirage F.1 = 0.7/0.8
Mirage 3/5 = 0.3/0.4
Jaguar = 0.2/0.6
F-5 = 0.3/0.4
J-10 = 1/1
J-8 = 0.6/0.4
JH-7 = 0.5/1.1
Q-5 = 0.1/0.4
H-6 = 0/1

E-3, Phalcon, KJ-2000, Boeing 737 = 8/0
Saab, KJ-200 = 6/0
E-2C, ZDK-03 = 4/0

jet tanker = 2/6
KC-130, H-6 tankers = 1/4

awesome analysis dude....u shld mail it to a defence journal....they will definitely appreciate it
