WORLD AIR FORCES 2010
CRAIG HOYLE: DEFENCE EDITOR, FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL
FOREWORD
Budgetary pressures have influenced nations around the world
over the last year in how they operate their existing military aircraft
and seek to acquire more capable and cost-effective replacements.
While some have chosen to defer their replacement decisions,
others have taken more drastic action, by wielding the spending
axe on what had previously been viewed as essential assets.
The highest-profile examples have come in the UK, with the
early retirement of the nation’s BAE Systems Harrier GR9
ground-attack aircraft and the cancellation of the long-delayed
BAE Nimrod MRA4 project. The latter decision leaves the Royal
Air Force with no dedicated maritime patrol aircraft – a dramatic
choice for a nation at the top table of NATO.
Elsewhere, the cost and complexity of operating aged equipment
has seen several other types leave use. Most recently, the Royal
Australian Air Force stood down the world’s last General Dynamics
F-111s, with their duties assumed by its now-operational Boeing
F/A-18F Super Hornets.
Australia will have received all 24 of its new type by October 2011,
as it moves closer to firming up an expected 100-aircraft commitment
to Lockheed Martin’s F-35A Joint Strike Fighter. Despite a
tough year, the US-led programme remains the dominant force in
the long-term combat aircraft sector, and accounts for over 3,000
of the 6,700-plus pending orders listed here.
In total, this year’s World Air Forces directory includes almost
54,000 military aircraft in the active inventories of 161 nations,
plus confirmed orders for over 5,200 more. Combat aircraft account
for 33% of the current total, just a fraction below the 34%
stake for combat helicopters. The remainder is divided between
training aircraft and helicopters (20%), transport aircraft and tankers
(10%) and special mission aircraft (3%). As expected, the US
armed forces have the largest number of aircraft in all categories.
The directory has more than 4,000 fewer aircraft listed than 12
months ago, with this reduction in part due to improved data with
regard to the operational status of Soviet-era types. Also excluded
are almost 900 aircraft listed by Flightglobal’s MiliCAS and
HeliCAS databases as being dedicated to VIP transport tasks.
For nations around the world, replacing obsolete equipment is
both an operational and an industrial imperative. India is looking
to work with Russia on a development of the latter’s PAK-FA, one
of the most exciting types to have achieved flight status during
2010. An agreement on their proposed joint fifth-generation fighter
aircraft could come soon. The coming months could also provide
developments in the Indian air force’s medium multi-role
combat aircraft competition, and also on a possible deal with Boeing
for 10 C-17 strategic transports.
The promise of meaningful workshare and technology transfer for
local companies will remain a key driver in future type selections
in many countries. Embraer enjoyed a remarkable run in 2010
linked to its KC-390 tanker/transport, being developed for an initially
28-aircraft Brazilian air force requirement. If its design proves
a success, at least 32 more could be ordered for prospective partners
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic and Portugal.
As the battle for international orders becomes harder fought,
these factors are likely to become ever more important.
EXPLANATORY NOTES

WORLD AIR FORCES 2010
CRAIG HOYLE: DEFENCE EDITOR, FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL
FOREWORD
Budgetary pressures have influenced nations around the world
over the last year in how they operate their existing military aircraft
and seek to acquire more capable and cost-effective replacements.
While some have chosen to defer their replacement decisions,
others have taken more drastic action, by wielding the spending
axe on what had previously been viewed as essential assets.
The highest-profile examples have come in the UK, with the
early retirement of the nations BAE Systems Harrier GR9
ground-attack aircraft and the cancellation of the long-delayed
BAE Nimrod MRA4 project. The latter decision leaves the Royal
Air Force with no dedicated maritime patrol aircraft a dramatic
choice for a nation at the top table of NATO.
Elsewhere, the cost and complexity of operating aged equipment
has seen several other types leave use. Most recently, the Royal
Australian Air Force stood down the worlds last General Dynamics
F-111s, with their duties assumed by its now-operational Boeing
F/A-18F Super Hornets.
Australia will have received all 24 of its new type by October 2011,
as it moves closer to firming up an expected 100-aircraft commitment
to Lockheed Martins F-35A Joint Strike Fighter. Despite a
tough year, the US-led programme remains the dominant force in
the long-term combat aircraft sector, and accounts for over 3,000
of the 6,700-plus pending orders listed here.
In total, this years World Air Forces directory includes almost
54,000 military aircraft in the active inventories of 161 nations,
plus confirmed orders for over 5,200 more. Combat aircraft account
for 33% of the current total, just a fraction below the 34%
stake for combat helicopters. The remainder is divided between
training aircraft and helicopters (20%), transport aircraft and tankers
(10%) and special mission aircraft (3%). As expected, the US
armed forces have the largest number of aircraft in all categories.
The directory has more than 4,000 fewer aircraft listed than 12
months ago, with this reduction in part due to improved data with
regard to the operational status of Soviet-era types. Also excluded
are almost 900 aircraft listed by Flightglobals MiliCAS and
HeliCAS databases as being dedicated to VIP transport tasks.
For nations around the world, replacing obsolete equipment is
both an operational and an industrial imperative. India is looking
to work with Russia on a development of the latters PAK-FA, one
of the most exciting types to have achieved flight status during
2010. An agreement on their proposed joint fifth-generation fighter
aircraft could come soon. The coming months could also provide
developments in the Indian air forces medium multi-role
combat aircraft competition, and also on a possible deal with Boeing
for 10 C-17 strategic transports.
The promise of meaningful workshare and technology transfer for
local companies will remain a key driver in future type selections
in many countries. Embraer enjoyed a remarkable run in 2010
linked to its KC-390 tanker/transport, being developed for an initially
28-aircraft Brazilian air force requirement. If its design proves
a success, at least 32 more could be ordered for prospective partners
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic and Portugal.
As the battle for international orders becomes harder fought,
these factors are likely to become ever more important.

pretty informative, what i can't believe is that we are now the 5th largest airforce lol a country like Japan who does not even have a active army and a small population has more aircraft than us yet we have a large population one of the worlds largest standing army's and face a very aggressive and militant scenario with our two hostile neighbors but force numbers are expected to decrease and will not increase greatly until MMRCA fighters helicopters etc start rolling out by the next decade we should be at 45 squadrons and even higher by 2025

the pdf is very informative and more accurate compared to crap posted on wikipedia

Thank You Everyone. This actually shows how deep these guys went to create this report. We can verify with out country details and it matches.

It shows what Chinese/Pakistani's have. I was really surprised that Pakistan have only 36 F-16's, I was unaware about these facts. An eye opener.

Chinese Airforce Combat Fleet

H-5 -> 250 aircraft

H-6 -> 120 aircraft

J-6 -> 4 aircraft

J-7 -> 390 aircraft

J-8 -> 96 aircraft

J-10 -> 200 aircraft

J-11 -> 273 aircraft

1nd1a · Oct 2, 2011

Chinese Airforce Combat Fleet Cont...

JH-7 -> 19 aircraft

Q-5 -> 500 aircraft

I am not trying to compare Chines's airforce with our's. However, we should only be concerned for J-10 and J-11 which they have in service. Others would be phased out soon.

The list of US air-crafts is full 1 page which includes 160 F-22. Who gonna mess with them?

Indian_Gem · Oct 3, 2011

They have quantity not quality. I agree we have to bother about j-10/11. However, we can't ignore others though they are not advanced but they can cause damage due to there number.

Only one The great China with J-20. If you see the structural details, its very long. Its just to have enough fuel to fly and back from US. Not sure how they will reach so far.
