    Top 48 air forces in 2020 (based on aircraft quality and quantity)

    Drones have limitations, like small warheads and being slow. Azerbaijani MoD released that Su-25 made 600 sorties in the war. Quite a lot. Thats why i doubled air to air points. Thats not so easy, plus many quite advanced air forces have these F-5. I did downgrade the Egyptian F-16s. Can u...

    Israel strikes targets in Syria

    Israel warns Russians but still they can fire. There is also a Syrian S-300PMU2 which is very similar to S-400 in capabilities. Yeah most probably.

    Top 48 air forces in 2020 (based on aircraft quality and quantity)

    More than half of Israel territory (about 13,000 km) is Negev desert: 200 x 120 x 220 km triangle. Its enough to put airbases and training + training can be done over sea also. In terms of military density the world leader is Singapore. It is 1/31 of Israel size, but has very strong air force...

    Israel strikes targets in Syria

    Here another video: These are cruise missiles. When it comes to targets close to S-300 and S-400 IAF does not take risks. I explained more here: https://defencehub.live/threads/how-iaf-avoids-syrian-air-defence.512/

    The funniest part is that jet moving at such speeds will be completely blind due to surrounding plasma.

    In order to achieve 3.3 Mach SR-71needed terrible concessions and astronomic price. 5500 km/h is 4.5 Mach. Totally unrealistic nonsense.

    Top 48 air forces in 2020 (based on aircraft quality and quantity)

    Well usually countries which buy aircraft also buy adequate ammunition. I did downgrade ranks of Egyptian and Iraqi F-16s for their lack of AMRAAMs however. I used F-16C as base (1 air to air and 1 air to ground points). And estimated power. If u have better ranking method u are welcome to use it.

    Top 48 air forces in 2020 (based on aircraft quality and quantity)

    There is a rank from global fire power, which counts only by quantity: https://www.globalfirepower.com/aircraft-total.asp Which is silly. There are many other ranks which use subjective opinions. I decided to make a rank based both on quality and quantity. Of course it is far from perfect but...
