P.S. If someone is surprised by low points of UK or Germany, you should keep in mind that they have only 188 and 220 combat jets respectfully (only half of them are fighters + Germany has no AWACS), while Egypt has 468, Taiwan - 350 and both have AWACS. Also this rank does not include quality of personnel training etc, coz its way too subjective. Here the old thread:

22 top airforces (based on plane quality and quantity).

 

[Tridibans]

Good list! Unbiased rating for each aircraft type..... but I feel India should be at 6, UK/ Germany a bit higher (even though as you stated they have less fighter.)

 

[500]

@500

How do you determine your ranks?

Its crude estimate I used F-16C as base 1/1.

What criteria do you use to assign point totals? Also, I'm going to assume scores are based out of a total of 10, but if that's the case why does the B-1B get 9 points, but the H-6 only 1. The H-6 might not be the best bomber in the skies, but it surely isn't only worth 1 point?

Thanks, I've already upgraded H-2 it to 2 points long time ago and counted as 2 in my rank, just typo.

Also, does your Air-to-Ground score include both land and sea?

yes.

 

[Genesis]

@500 really difficult to do these rankings, especially with country such as China, too much of our stuff are either secret, or just not announced.

For example KJ-500 is out and last I checked is between 2-5. J-10a has about 250, and J-10B has about 24-50. J-15 about J-15-16, together is about 30ish.

No need to change, very good. Wouldn't change the rankings much anyways. good to see we are neck to neck with Russia, but the distance to America is still huge.

The H-6 might not be the best bomber in the skies, but it surely isn't only worth 1 point? Even with all the modifications the Chinese have put into their version? What's the reasoning behind these scores? I'd like to see your reasoning and criteria included. It would provide a lot of clarity to the rank and scores.

Also, does your Air-to-Ground score include both land and sea? Japan's F-15s aren't configured for the primary mission of assaulting enemy shores, they're anti-ship platforms - assuming they are not being used as anti-air/interceptors.

It's hard to debate any of the rankings without knowing how the rankings are deduced, and I do have a few points to debate, beyond the H-6.

Surely this is worth more than a single point in A-T-G.

Xian H-6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do agree the H6 is a very underrated platform, it's been updated a lot, but more importantly, their effectiveness don't really require constant updates, as long as they can deal out the hurt, it's good enough.

P.S. If someone is surprised by low points of UK or Germany, you should keep in mind that they have only 188 and 220 combat jets respectfully (only half of them are fighters + Germany has no AWACS), while Egypt has 468, Taiwan - 350 and both have AWACS. Also this rank does not include quality of personnel training etc, coz its way too subjective. Here the old thread:

22 top airforces (based on plane quality and quantity).

Except 13 F16 from Jordon, rest all are AM/BM block 50+ standard. Please correct

Thanks for your hard work. Anyway you should also list naval aviations around the world on the line of airforce. Would be interesting to see that too.

@500 really difficult to do these rankings, especially with country such as China, too much of our stuff are either secret, or just not announced.

For example KJ-500 is out and last I checked is between 2-5. J-10a has about 250, and J-10B has about 24-50. J-15 about J-15-16, together is about 30ish.

No need to change, very good. Wouldn't change the rankings much anyways. good to see we are neck to neck with Russia, but the distance to America is still huge.


I do agree the H6 is a very underrated platform, it's been updated a lot, but more importantly, their effectiveness don't really require constant updates, as long as they can deal out the hurt, it's good enough.

Yes yes modified and updated H6 is better than B2

This is an update for 2015 using WAF data. I decided to open a new thread because I made many changes and added many new countries and they lost back in pages.

Very nice . And you forgot 1 Tejas already inducted Add 1 point to India my friend

Mr @500 please can you tell me the points for 124 Rafale 40 LCA 1 100 MKI ?

Iran has a stronger airforce than canada ? that's flattering but not entirely real

 

[500]

Iran has 206 fighter jets including 44 4th gen. Canada has 90 4th gen fighter jets. Probably I had to downgrade Iran due to poor condition of many its jets.

 

[Otocal]

@500 very good list thanks for it.

a minor modification- India has 49-51 Mirage 2000 not 54 as you have said

Currently 49 and 2 more being bought 2nd hand. Status of the 2 additional is unknown

 

[SipahSalar]

Why does greece have a massive air force?

Not sure about JF-17's ground points.... it isnt a proven ground attack platform.

 

[Otocal]

Yes yes modified and updated H6 is better than B2


Very nice . And you forgot 1 Tejas already inducted Add 1 point to India my friend

Mr @500 please can you tell me the points for 124 Rafale 40 LCA 1 100 MKI ?

He is giving only 1 point to F-16 and Mirage 2000 each.

I don't think Tejas is ready for 1 point.
