1 is for SIGINT operations the other two is for Electronic Warfare, Jamming etc.
@500 how would you place those?
Yeah I know btw the three of them will be back home in 2018, which is why we got isr king air. All of them are being heavily upgraded and I'll give you the link at night since I've to leave know.
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

No they will be back at 2015.
Thanks mosa, Although I had a good source who said it wont be back before 2018, but I couldn't find it again. I lost it in the arabian defense forum which was taken down

Well according to wiki Turkey has now:well done. A good comparison. But please update turkey .
we have more than 227 F-16C/D and about 40 F-16A/B's which 60 of them are blocks.
And we have 4 AEW&C peace eagles not 1.
Thank you. By the way I think you should also add the helicopters and transportation aircraft.
Well according to wiki Turkey has now:
38 Block 30
104 Block 40
76 Block 50
30 Advanced Block 50
336/419 that adds 38/41 = 374/460 = 1208 points/ Thus Turkey overtakes Korea and approaches very close to Japan.
The updated top ten:
1) USA - 12690
2) Russia - 3639
3) China - 3159
4) S. Arabia - 1425
5) Israel - 1420
6) India - 1351
7) Japan - 1254
8) Turkey - 1208
9) Korea - 1107
10) Taiwan - 982
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.
