With a wide range of military applications, air forces play an integral role in military dynamics worldwide. To help understand how important air forces are worldwide, here is a look at the five largest air forces and their capabilities.
The United States Air Force (USAF) is the largest air force in the world, with over 13,000 combat-ready aircraft and over 500,000 personnel. The USAF is a part of the United States military and can carry out a wide range of operations ranging from surveillance to bomber strikes. It operates various aircraft types, including fighter jets, transport planes, AWACS radar planes and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Coming in at the second largest air force is China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), which boasts a total of 2,500 aircraft. The PLAAF is part of China's armed forces and was established in 1949. It currently consists of both active-duty and reserve personnel and members from its auxiliary components. The PLAAF operates various aircraft types, including fighter jets, helicopters, transports and bombers.
The Russian Aerospace Forces (RAF) boasts one of the largest air forces in the world, with a total of 2,359 aircraft. It is the aerial warfare service branch of Russia and was established in 2011 following an act which unified several military aviation branches, including the former Air Force of the Russian Federation. Today, RAF operates fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is another major player in military aviation. Established in 1932, it is the fourth largest air force in the world, with 1,834 aircraft. IAF operates a wide range of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Some critical assets include Sukhoi Su-30MKI multirole fighters, MiG-29 fighters and C-130J transports.
The French Air and Space Force, also known as the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (ALAE), is France's main air force. It currently has 856 operational aircraft, including Rafale M's and Dassault Mirage 2000 fighters, Airbus A340 transports, Zephyr UAVs and more. ALAE works closely with NATO and other allied countries on joint operations, sharing technological knowledge and improving their mutual capabilities.
