Air arms from around the globe were in action during
2012, while most budgets faced mounting pressure. We
list the inventories and purchase plans of 160 nations
COMBAT
TRANSITION
Afghanistan by the end of 2014, Kabul still has
alongwaytogobeforetakingfullcontrolofthe
nation. Its air force and Army Air Corps –
which currently operate a combined total of 98
transport aircraft and combat helicopters – will
also require more investment to be made in
equipment terms if they are to be able to cope
after the drawdown phase has concluded.
Time is tight, for example, if the US Air
Force is to drive through a planned light air
support acquisition of 20 armed turboprops
for the Afghan air force. A programme should
be launched in 2013, with an earlier selection
of Embraer’s EMB-314 Super Tucano having
been abandoned.
The process of leaving Afghanistan will be
a difficult one for participating nations, with a
great deal of valuable equipment requiring ex-
traction by air, and land convoys needing sig-
nificant protection from above.
Another aspect of the Afghan drawdown
process will be the conclusion of major joint
coalition air operations, after more than a dec-
ade of experience gained in the country. The
removal of such an opportunity to fly along-
side other air forces day-to-day will require
nations to participate in more regular large-
scale exercises in order to retain the skills
learned in combat and maintain links with
current partners.
Despite widespread condemnation of the
actions of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s
regime in the face of a domestic opposition
movement, the prospect of an international
intervention similar to that seen over Libya in
2011 remains remote.
With an inventory of 480 Russian-sourced
combat aircraft, including RAC MiG-29
C
onflicts in Afghanistan, Syria and
between Israeli forces and Hamas
militants grabbed the headlines in
2012, along with the major budget
issues most militaries continue to face, and
the outcomes and implications of presidential
elections in the USA and China.
Although the USA and its NATO and other
allies plan to end their combat involvement in
The US Air Force’s F-16 strike aircraft should perform their last offensive sorties over
Afghanistan in late 2014, as the NATO-led assistance force passes control to Kabul

fighters and Sukhoi Su-24 strike aircraft, the
Syrian air force has been routinely called
into action. Television footage has also
shown Mil Mi-8/17 helicopters and armed
Aero Vodochody L-39 jet trainers used to
suppress the uprising.
The Syrian military would represent a dif-
ferent challenge to coalition air forces than
during the UN-mandated and NATO-led mis-
sion to protect Libyan civilians, because of
being able to maintain persistent surveillance
cover over a potential conflict area, including
with unmanned air vehicles.
HAMAS TARGETS
Israeli air force combat aircraft and helicop-
ters, along with ground artillery and naval
vessels, attacked more than 1,500 targets dur-
ing the “Pillar of Defense” operation. These
included not only launchers for the rockets
which were being fired into Israeli territory,
but also previously identified sites, such as
weapons stores, resupply tunnels and even
Hamas leaders.
Despite its military might and the impres-
sive performance of its “Iron Dome” anti-
rocket shield, Israel’s vulnerability to non-
traditional attack had already been highlighted
in early October, when a UAV launched in
Lebanon entered its airspace, before being de-
stroyed by a Lockheed Martin F-16I.
For the first time, this year’s World Air
Forces directory uses information sourced
from Flightglobal’s Ascend Online Fleets and
MiliCAS databases. Completed in 2011, the
merger of Flightglobal and Ascend has result-
ed in an enhanced product, including im-
proved information on the equipment in use
in nations such as China and Russia.
its possession of so-called “double-digit”
surface-to-air missile systems, also acquired
from Russia. Assad’s forces demonstrated
their willingness to use such equipment in
June, when a Turkish air force McDonnell
Douglas F-4E Phantom was shot down after
violating Syrian airspace.

This year’s directory contains almost
51,800 aircraft listed in the active duty in-
ventories of air arms from 160 nations. This
represents an overall reduction of fewer than
200 airframes since our 2011-2012 snapshot
of the worldwide fleet. A further 6,100 air-
craft are shown as the subject of firm orders,
with more than 5,700 others pending con-
tract signatures.
Notable major deletions from our previous
listing for Soviet-era equipment have includ-
ed the removal of almost 500 aged Mi-24 as-
sault helicopters from the Russian air force’s
inventory, along with 220 obsolete Mi-2s.
As with previous listings, the USA domi-
nates the directory in the number of aircraft in
use and on order, with its air force, army, Ma-
rine Corps and navy together accounting for
27% of all active aircraft.
While Washington’s numerical strength is
unlikely to be overturned by former rival Rus-
sia or growing military power China, the end
of its combat commitment in Afghanistan and
budget reductions will have a major near-term
impact. Unless averted by early January, a
Congressionally-threatened sequestration
measure could wipe about $500 billion from
the Department of Defense’s budget during a
10-year period, with this to come on top of
planned reductions of $487 billion already in
the USA’s planning cycle.
While the US Air Force says it remains
committed to acquiring 1,763 Lockheed
F-35A Lightning II combat aircraft, sequestra-
tion could yet hurt its plans. In May, the serv-
ice took delivery of its last of 187 F-22 Raptor
stealth fighters from the company, versus an
original goal of acquiring 750 of the fifth-
generation type.
The emergence of several developmental
Russian and Chinese fighters within the past
two years has focused minds within the USA
and other nations as to the capabilities that
potential future adversaries could purchase.
While Western types such as the F-35, Boeing
F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Dassault Rafale,
Eurofighter Typhoon and Saab Gripen E will
be technologically superior to Chinese models
such as the Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31,
the latter could eventually prove overwhelm-
ing if fielded in sufficiently high numbers.
Beijing’s continuing major investment in
defence aerospace was highlighted by the first
flight of the stealthy-looking J-31 in October,
and by Shenyang’s J-15 derivative of the
Sukhoi Su-33 performing trials from the deck
of the Chinese navy’s newly-introduced air-
craft carrier, the Liaoning. China’s admission
to the elite carrier club – which in 2013 will
also include India – was one of the most sig-
nificant military developments of the year.
MOSCOW MODERNISATION
Moscow, meanwhile, has continued to make a
substantial investment in modernising its mili-
tary machine. Major recent commitments
have included orders for 92 Su-34 bombers, 30
Su-30SM fighters and 24 carrierborne
MiG-29K/KUBs, along with 39 improved
Il-76MDtransports.Italsohasadvancedalong-
planned project with India to develop a new
Medium Transport Aircraft – up to a combined
145 of which could be acquired – and on pro-
ducing a version of Sukhoi’s T-50/PAK-FA
fighter. Questions remain, however, over
whetherRussiawillbeabletosustainitsrecent
spending spike, and particularly on its ability
and desire to develop a proposed new-genera-
tion bomber dubbed PAK-DA.
India’s planned medium multirole combat
aircraft acquisition reached the preferred bid-
der status in late January, when it awarded a
Dassault-led team so-called L1 vendor status
with the Rafale, following a battle with the Eu-
rofighter Typhoon. However, New Delhi has
yet to sign a contract for the 126-unit deal.
Switzerland’s government and air force
continue to pursue a deal to acquire 22 next-
generation Gripen Es, in conjunction with a
Swedish commitment for between 40 and 60
of the type, but Bern’s plans face the threat of

a public referendum, which could potentially
derail the scheme.
A decision could finally come during 2013
on the direction of Brazil’s long-planned F-X2
fighter contract. The nation’s previous admin-
istration had favoured the Rafale, but a change
of government and fresh delays mean the op-
portunity is potentially also still open to the
Gripen and Super Hornet.
Lockheed’s F-35 programme, meanwhile,
recently achieved its 5,000th test flight, with
the first airborne weapons separation trials
having been performed and the first two in-
ternational examples delivered to the UK,
which is now acquiring the short take-off and
vertical landing B-model. The same variant
is now in the hands of the USMC’s first oper-
ational squadron to convert to the Joint Strike
Fighter, VMFA-121.
In the training aircraft sector, while manu-
facturers continue to await the launch of the
biggest contest in decades – to replace the US
Air Force’s almost 500 Northrop T-38C Talons
– most secured fresh orders in 2012.
Alenia Aermacchi benefited from a bilateral
agreement between the Italian and Israeli gov-
ernments, under which the latter nation’s air
force will get access to 30 M-346 advanced jet
trainers. The type will replace the Israeli air
force’s remaining Douglas A/TA-4 Skyhawk

EXPLANATORY NOTES
For the first time, Flightglobal’s World Air Forces
directory 2013 uses fleet data compiled for its Ascend
Online Fleets and MiliCAS databases by Sandra Lewis-
Rice, John Maloney, Marc-Antony Payne and Martin
Smith, and abridged by Craig Hoyle. Published as
premium products, our databases provide subscribers
with detailed fleet and orders information, in the
majority of cases down to serial-number level. The
directory also includes global fleet analysis provided by
Antoine Fafard, from Flightglobal’s Insight team.
Responsible for producing special reports on the aviation
industry, Insight provides bespoke analysis on sectors
ranging from business aviation to commercial and
military aircraft. To find out more, and to download other
special reports, visit flightglobal.com/insight
Fleet information is divided into these categories:
Active: Aircraft in day-to-day use. For some Soviet-era
types where only summary information is available, this
also includes some non-operational platforms.
Ordered: Aircraft on firm order. Others which are pending
purchase approval or contract signature are marked with
an asterisk. This category includes current planned order
totals, which may be subject to future revision.

Systems joint venture between Elbit Systems
and Israel Aerospace Industries. For its part,
Italy will acquire two Gulfstream G550s
adapted for airborne early warning duties by
IAI’s Elta Systems subsidiary.
Also vying for the USAF’s trainer require-
ment is BAE Systems, which signed a deal to
produce 22 Hawk 165s for Saudi Arabia. The
success represents the UK company’s first ex-
port deal for the new-generation aircraft that

heed is promoting the T-50 – developed jointly
with Korea Aerospace Industries – a type al-
ready in use in South Korea and ordered by In-
donesia.ThePhilippineshasalsoexpressedin-
terestinpotentiallyacquiring12examples.
EQUIPMENT CHOICE
Boeing is expected to pitch a new design for
the T-X requirement, which holds the poten-
tial to sway the equipment choice of numer-
ous nations over the coming decades.
Swiss manufacturer Pilatus enjoyed a
bumper 2012, securing orders for a combined
79 PC-21 trainers from Qatar and Saudi Ara-
bia, and also finalising a deal to produce 75
PC-7 Mk IIs for the Indian air force. Iraq also
made progress with its plans to acquire 28
Aero Vodochody L-159s, while a new era of
Russian air force pilot training began as Irkut
delivered its first Yakovlev Yak-130s to Bori-
soglebsk air base in early October.
Partly looking at the looming airlift require-
ments linked with their departure from Af-
ghanistan, Australia and the UK added lone
Boeing C-17s to their fleets in 2012, while
Norway swiftly acquired a replacement for
the C-130J lost in a fatal accident in March.
Canberra also retired its last aged C-130Hs, as
its first of 10 Alenia Aermacchi C-27J Spartans
entered final assembly.
In the rotorcraft sector, the US Army has
formally rebranded its Block III production-
standard Apache Longbow the AH-64E, and
potential buyers such as India and Indonesia
are already eyeing the type.
The early days of 2013 will determine
whether the DoD will advance with key pro-
grammes such as the F-35 as intended, or have
future budget reductions hurt equipment
plans made by it and many of its allies.

  • 4. WORLD AIR FORCES 2013 4 | Flightglobal Insight | World Air Forces 2013 CRAIG HOYLE LONDON DATA COMPILED BY SANDRA LEWIS-RICE, JOHN MALONEY, MARC-ANTONY PAYNE & MARTIN SMITH FLIGHTGLOBAL ASCEND ONLINE FLEETS & MILICAS LONDON Air arms from around the globe were in action during 2012, while most budgets faced mounting pressure. We list the inventories and purchase plans of 160 nations COMBAT TRANSITION Afghanistan by the end of 2014, Kabul still has alongwaytogobeforetakingfullcontrolofthe nation. Its air force and Army Air Corps – which currently operate a combined total of 98 transport aircraft and combat helicopters – will also require more investment to be made in equipment terms if they are to be able to cope after the drawdown phase has concluded. Time is tight, for example, if the US Air Force is to drive through a planned light air support acquisition of 20 armed turboprops for the Afghan air force. A programme should be launched in 2013, with an earlier selection of Embraer’s EMB-314 Super Tucano having been abandoned. The process of leaving Afghanistan will be a difficult one for participating nations, with a great deal of valuable equipment requiring ex- traction by air, and land convoys needing sig- nificant protection from above. Another aspect of the Afghan drawdown process will be the conclusion of major joint coalition air operations, after more than a dec- ade of experience gained in the country. The removal of such an opportunity to fly along- side other air forces day-to-day will require nations to participate in more regular large- scale exercises in order to retain the skills learned in combat and maintain links with current partners. Despite widespread condemnation of the actions of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s regime in the face of a domestic opposition movement, the prospect of an international intervention similar to that seen over Libya in 2011 remains remote. With an inventory of 480 Russian-sourced combat aircraft, including RAC MiG-29 C onflicts in Afghanistan, Syria and between Israeli forces and Hamas militants grabbed the headlines in 2012, along with the major budget issues most militaries continue to face, and the outcomes and implications of presidential elections in the USA and China. Although the USA and its NATO and other allies plan to end their combat involvement in The US Air Force’s F-16 strike aircraft should perform their last offensive sorties over Afghanistan in late 2014, as the NATO-led assistance force passes control to Kabul

Television footage has also shown Mil Mi-8/17 helicopters and armed Aero Vodochody L-39 jet trainers used to suppress the uprising. The Syrian military would represent a dif- ferent challenge to coalition air forces than during the UN-mandated and NATO-led mis- sion to protect Libyan civilians, because of being able to maintain persistent surveillance cover over a potential conflict area, including with unmanned air vehicles. HAMAS TARGETS Israeli air force combat aircraft and helicop- ters, along with ground artillery and naval vessels, attacked more than 1,500 targets dur- ing the “Pillar of Defense” operation. These included not only launchers for the rockets which were being fired into Israeli territory, but also previously identified sites, such as weapons stores, resupply tunnels and even Hamas leaders. Despite its military might and the impres- sive performance of its “Iron Dome” anti- rocket shield, Israel’s vulnerability to non- traditional attack had already been highlighted in early October, when a UAV launched in Lebanon entered its airspace, before being de- stroyed by a Lockheed Martin F-16I. For the first time, this year’s World Air Forces directory uses information sourced from Flightglobal’s Ascend Online Fleets and MiliCAS databases. Completed in 2011, the merger of Flightglobal and Ascend has result- ed in an enhanced product, including im- proved information on the equipment in use in nations such as China and Russia. its possession of so-called “double-digit” surface-to-air missile systems, also acquired from Russia. Assad’s forces demonstrated their willingness to use such equipment in June, when a Turkish air force McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom was shot down after violating Syrian airspace. November’s eight-day conflict between Is- rael and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip underscored the importance of an air force Israeli pilots were called into action over the Gaza Strip RexFeatures USAirForce

This represents an overall reduction of fewer than 200 airframes since our 2011-2012 snapshot of the worldwide fleet. A further 6,100 air- craft are shown as the subject of firm orders, with more than 5,700 others pending con- tract signatures. Notable major deletions from our previous listing for Soviet-era equipment have includ- ed the removal of almost 500 aged Mi-24 as- sault helicopters from the Russian air force’s inventory, along with 220 obsolete Mi-2s. As with previous listings, the USA domi- nates the directory in the number of aircraft in use and on order, with its air force, army, Ma- rine Corps and navy together accounting for 27% of all active aircraft. While Washington’s numerical strength is unlikely to be overturned by former rival Rus- sia or growing military power China, the end of its combat commitment in Afghanistan and budget reductions will have a major near-term impact. Unless averted by early January, a Congressionally-threatened sequestration measure could wipe about $500 billion from the Department of Defense’s budget during a 10-year period, with this to come on top of planned reductions of $487 billion already in the USA’s planning cycle. While the US Air Force says it remains committed to acquiring 1,763 Lockheed F-35A Lightning II combat aircraft, sequestra- tion could yet hurt its plans. In May, the serv- ice took delivery of its last of 187 F-22 Raptor stealth fighters from the company, versus an original goal of acquiring 750 of the fifth- generation type. The emergence of several developmental Russian and Chinese fighters within the past two years has focused minds within the USA and other nations as to the capabilities that potential future adversaries could purchase. While Western types such as the F-35, Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon and Saab Gripen E will be technologically superior to Chinese models such as the Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31, the latter could eventually prove overwhelm- ing if fielded in sufficiently high numbers. Beijing’s continuing major investment in defence aerospace was highlighted by the first flight of the stealthy-looking J-31 in October, and by Shenyang’s J-15 derivative of the Sukhoi Su-33 performing trials from the deck of the Chinese navy’s newly-introduced air- craft carrier, the Liaoning. China’s admission to the elite carrier club – which in 2013 will also include India – was one of the most sig- nificant military developments of the year. MOSCOW MODERNISATION Moscow, meanwhile, has continued to make a substantial investment in modernising its mili- tary machine. Major recent commitments have included orders for 92 Su-34 bombers, 30 Su-30SM fighters and 24 carrierborne MiG-29K/KUBs, along with 39 improved Il-76MDtransports.Italsohasadvancedalong- planned project with India to develop a new Medium Transport Aircraft – up to a combined 145 of which could be acquired – and on pro- ducing a version of Sukhoi’s T-50/PAK-FA fighter. Questions remain, however, over whetherRussiawillbeabletosustainitsrecent spending spike, and particularly on its ability and desire to develop a proposed new-genera- tion bomber dubbed PAK-DA. India’s planned medium multirole combat aircraft acquisition reached the preferred bid- der status in late January, when it awarded a Dassault-led team so-called L1 vendor status with the Rafale, following a battle with the Eu- rofighter Typhoon. However, New Delhi has yet to sign a contract for the 126-unit deal. Switzerland’s government and air force continue to pursue a deal to acquire 22 next- generation Gripen Es, in conjunction with a Swedish commitment for between 40 and 60 of the type, but Bern’s plans face the threat of Washington’s numerical strength is unlikely to be overturned by Russia or growing military power China The Joint Strike Fighter has been on target during weapons release trials

A decision could finally come during 2013 on the direction of Brazil’s long-planned F-X2 fighter contract. The nation’s previous admin- istration had favoured the Rafale, but a change of government and fresh delays mean the op- portunity is potentially also still open to the Gripen and Super Hornet. Lockheed’s F-35 programme, meanwhile, recently achieved its 5,000th test flight, with the first airborne weapons separation trials having been performed and the first two in- ternational examples delivered to the UK, which is now acquiring the short take-off and vertical landing B-model. The same variant is now in the hands of the USMC’s first oper- ational squadron to convert to the Joint Strike Fighter, VMFA-121. In the training aircraft sector, while manu- facturers continue to await the launch of the biggest contest in decades – to replace the US Air Force’s almost 500 Northrop T-38C Talons – most secured fresh orders in 2012. Alenia Aermacchi benefited from a bilateral agreement between the Italian and Israeli gov- ernments, under which the latter nation’s air force will get access to 30 M-346 advanced jet trainers. The type will replace the Israeli air force’s remaining Douglas A/TA-4 Skyhawk LockheedMartin

For its part, Italy will acquire two Gulfstream G550s adapted for airborne early warning duties by IAI’s Elta Systems subsidiary. Also vying for the USAF’s trainer require- ment is BAE Systems, which signed a deal to produce 22 Hawk 165s for Saudi Arabia. The success represents the UK company’s first ex- port deal for the new-generation aircraft that formsthebasisofitsofferintheT-Xbattle.Lock- heed is promoting the T-50 – developed jointly with Korea Aerospace Industries – a type al- ready in use in South Korea and ordered by In- donesia.ThePhilippineshasalsoexpressedin- terestinpotentiallyacquiring12examples. EQUIPMENT CHOICE Boeing is expected to pitch a new design for the T-X requirement, which holds the poten- tial to sway the equipment choice of numer- ous nations over the coming decades. Swiss manufacturer Pilatus enjoyed a bumper 2012, securing orders for a combined 79 PC-21 trainers from Qatar and Saudi Ara- bia, and also finalising a deal to produce 75 PC-7 Mk IIs for the Indian air force. Iraq also made progress with its plans to acquire 28 Aero Vodochody L-159s, while a new era of Russian air force pilot training began as Irkut delivered its first Yakovlev Yak-130s to Bori- soglebsk air base in early October. Partly looking at the looming airlift require- ments linked with their departure from Af- ghanistan, Australia and the UK added lone Boeing C-17s to their fleets in 2012, while Norway swiftly acquired a replacement for the C-130J lost in a fatal accident in March. Canberra also retired its last aged C-130Hs, as its first of 10 Alenia Aermacchi C-27J Spartans entered final assembly. In the rotorcraft sector, the US Army has formally rebranded its Block III production- standard Apache Longbow the AH-64E, and potential buyers such as India and Indonesia are already eyeing the type. The early days of 2013 will determine whether the DoD will advance with key pro- grammes such as the F-35 as intended, or have future budget reductions hurt equipment plans made by it and many of its allies.
