And according to that, north korea is the 6th most powerful air force, ahead of Britain and turkey and japan and Germany.
Check out what that list really is. It is simply the total number of all flying objects in the country, including helicopters. That is not a measure of airpower.
The iran air force is in serious need of modernization, if it wants to be competitive. That region boasts some of the finest and most modern aircrafts in the world, including f-15s and 16s, and Eurofighters. IrAF still flies f-14s and f-4s. Sorry, but the IrAF is simply outclassed by most of their neighbours.
I don't understand why Iran has not prioritized modernizing the air force, especially given what their adversaries fly. The maintain such a large ground force and militias - investing in airpower might bring richer dividends.
