Who has the strongest air force in ME ?

[Mughal-Prince]

It's hands down Israel.
First of all they have the best aircrafts available in their inventory which are F-16 Sufa tailored to their needs and have access to improve them as they want and they can integrate any weapon they want or they have access. 2ndly they have F-15-E in their inventory with which they have same access they kept tweaking their aircraft as per assessment and requirement they have the most experienced airforce in the region and a proven track record they had their own fighter aircrafts Kfir and they had a program which was cancelled due to US concerns "Lavi" and that later becomes a base for Chinese J-10. They have their own built weapons arsenal for their aircrafts, they had their own built AWACS and SigInt systems. Their is no doubt they can beat the sh!t out of any airforce in the region. They are very well trained and they have the best technology available.

Wrong. How many enemy planes did the F-16s and F-15s have shot down!??! Jeeeez!!! The F-16 and the F-15 is the world's benchmark for fighter jets. Anybody who says no is either a fool of just plain stupid. Why do you think Israel, Saudi, Turkey, Japan, Pakistan, Singapore, and more than a dozen if not MORE more use our jets!??! As if they don't have any choice! Our jets are freaking expensive!!! They could have spend their money in buying a bunch of COPIES and CLONES for every one of our jets but no! These countries buy US Made.

Even Pakistan who have the Thunder which no matter what their media is saying a "Superjet" or something like it is still buying F-16s. Why is that!??!

GET THE PICTURE!??!


Any Pakistani, Saudi and Israeli members care to explain!??!

Typhoon has some advantage over F-16 and F-15 in agility. Thats about it. But latest F-16/15 have an edge in avionics, speed, range.

PAF going for JF-17, this is because JF-17 is tailor made for PAF's need plus the price tag it carries is ideal for PAF as it allows PAF to induct a 4th generation fighter in half the price. As far as F-16 is concerned hands down it is the bench mark against which every jet in the world is tested even the thunder block 2 is claimed to be 80% as capable as F-16. The bold part is enough to tell why PAF still seeks F-16s and why thunder was not compared to Typhoon.

There is no doubt about it- ISREAL and by a HUGE margin. They have are by FAR the best trained and equipped airforce in the region.
