fter a more than decade-long

involvement in Afghanistan, the air
wings of multiple nations had
expected some respite from years of
combat activity by late 2014, as the NATO-led
mission completes its transition of control to
the authorities in Kabul.
World events do not tend to follow such
established military plans, however, and the
end of the conflict with the Taliban has
instead overlapped with a resurgence of
violence and renewed coalition involvement
in the Middle East.
Led by the USA, a large number of nations
are now involved in a campaign intended to
degrade the fighting capacity and also target
the leadership of the Islamic State militant
movement. Launched by Washington in late
September, the ongoing action in Iraq has
been expanded to include air strikes by
combat aircraft from Australia, Belgium,
Canada, Denmark, France, the Netherlands
and the UK, while Iranian McDonnell
Douglas F-4 Phantoms are reported to have
been separately involved.
In Syria, the USA has been supported by its
Gulf allies in conducting strikes on Islamic
State targets, with aircraft from Bahrain,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates having been involved to date.
This widespread coalition which also
involves other nations not participating in
direct combat is a continuation of the
alliance formed by many involved in the
Afghanistan mission, plus others that had
supported the NATO-directed campaign to
protect Libyan civilians in 2011.
In hardware terms, the allied intervention
has provided an opportunity for the US Air
Force to perform its first offensive acts using
the Lockheed Martin F-22, with Raptors
involved as the activity intensified against
threats inside Syria. Having already been involved in performing air drops of humanitarian supplies in northern Iraq, the Royal
Australian Air Force sent a detachment of
Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets to conduct
strikes from Al Minhad air base in the UAE.
Support is provided by lone examples of the
services Airbus A330/KC-30A tanker and
Boeing 737-based E-7A Wedgetail airborne
early warning and control aircraft, with both
making their operational debuts.
Australias involvement capitalises on its
recent training experience during a Pitch
Black-series exercise, in which it hosted mulflightglobal.com

tiple aircraft from Singapore, Thailand, the
UAE and the USA. It also illustrates a
commitment to deploy its forces over a strategic range a capability that looks set to be
strengthened through its planned addition of
between two and four more Boeing C-17
transports to its existing six-aircraft fleet.
For the UK, the battle with the Islamic State
movement has provided a new operating
arena for some of the Royal Air Forces
remotely-piloted General Atomics Aeronautical Systems MQ-9 Reapers, and also prompted a rethink on the planned run-down of its
versatile Panavia Tornado GR4 strike and
reconnaissance fleet.
Beyond the situation inside Iraq and Syria,
2014 saw another bloody conflict erupt in the
same region, with Israel engaging Hamas militants inside Gaza from the air, and also later
with ground forces. Starting in early July, the
Protective Edge operation was mounted in response to rockets being fired into Israel and
resulted in hundreds of missions being flown.
Heightened border tensions also saw Israel
shoot down a Syrian unmanned air vehicle
and one of its Sukhoi Su-24 strike aircraft,
which it says had entered its airspace.
The high financial cost of Israels latest engagement in Gaza has put pressure on its na-

tional budget, and drawn internal opposition

to major planned aircraft acquisitions. A proposed follow-on deal that was to increase its
future fleet of Lockheed Martin F-35As from
19 to 44 aircraft has been reduced by 11
aircraft, while its air forces aspiration to introduce six Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotors
has been blocked entirely so far.
In Europe, fears of a new Cold War situation took hold, after first rhetoric and then
sanctions followed Moscows support for proRussian militants in Ukraine and then over its
annexation of the nations Crimea region. The
conflict has taken a heavy toll on Ukrainian
forces, with multiple aircraft having been shot
down or destroyed on the ground. Our records show that its military inventory has
been slashed from 400 active aircraft to just
222 within the 12 month directory period.
The unrest in Ukraine also gained global

exposure in July, when Malaysia Airlines
flight MH17 was brought down over the east
of the country. Investigations continue, but
the use of a surface-to-air missile operated by
pro-Russian separatists is suspected to have
caused the Boeing 777-200ER to disintegrate
while flying at 33,000ft, killing 298 people.
Russias muscle-flexing also has involved
an increased frequency of long-range flights
with assets including Tupolev Tu-95 and
Tu-160 bombers, which continue to test the
response of NATO allies. Increased numbers
of coalition aircraft have been positioned at
Siauliai air base in Lithuania to sustain the
long-running Baltic Air Policing mission,
with others located at Amari air base in
Estonia. An increased presence has also been
made in Poland and Romania.
Listing the military equipment inventories
of 160 nations, this years World Air Forces
directory includes information on almost
52,000 aircraft recorded as being in active
service. This represents a reduction of 459
aircraft or roughly 0.9% from the total reported in our 2014 directory. The bulk of the
change can be attributed to improved data on
Russian-produced aircraft, and the attrition
encountered in Ukraine.
Ongoing fleet renewals also led to some notable retirements, including that of the French
air forces final Dassault Mirage F1s. The act
leaves just 32 combat examples and four
trainers as operational in Gabon, Iran, Libya
and Morocco. Oman also during 2014 ceased
operations with the Sepecat Jaguar, leaving

India as the lone user. The Greek air force

and UK Royal Air Force respectively bid
farewell to the last Vought A-7 Corsair fighters
and Lockheed TriStar tanker/transports in
military service.
As well as detailing in-service fleets, our
directory also includes information on a
further 5,200-plus aircraft on firm order and
another roughly 7,500 that are the subject of
pending deals or letters of intent.
The directory shows that the US armed
services account for 27% of the global active
fleet, with some 13,900 aircraft in use. They
also top each of our six listed equipment
categories, with an overall 19% stake in the
global combat aircraft category rising to 30%
for combat helicopters and 78% of the
operational tanker fleet.
But despite its numerical dominance the
USA has four times as many aircraft as
second-ranked Russia, and more than the second- to eighth-ranked nations combined
ageing aircraft issues have led to some of its
air forces Lockheed F-16D trainers being temporarily grounded pending structural repairs.
The threat of further budget cuts via sequestration will also force difficult fleet decisions.
The USAF still plans to retire its Fairchild
Republic A-10 ground-attack aircraft, while
the US Army is advancing plans to halt operations with its single-engined helicopter fleet
and instead start using its Boeing AH-64D/E
Apaches in the armed scout role.
Despite lingering flight envelope restrictions imposed following an engine fire which
badly damaged an A-model aircraft on the
ground earlier in the year, the F-35 programme received a subsequent boost, with the
confirmation of a $4.7 billion, eighth low-rate
initial production deal to produce 43 of the
aircraft; with a related engine package yet to
be finalised. The USA succeeded in getting
orders from three of its partner nations Italy,
Norway and the UK as part of the contract,
plus from export customers Israel and Japan.

Russias activities with its Tu-95 bombers have tested the response of NATO allies
the Us army is planning to

halt operations with its singleengined helicopters and use
apaches in the scout role
The US Marine Corps was unable to make a
planned debut transatlantic deployment with
the F-35B to attend a pair of air shows in the
UK in July, but did successfully embark the
type on the amphibious assault ship the USS
Wasp for a second series of trials, as it
advances towards planned initial operational
capability in late 2015.
The US Navy, meanwhile, made a historic
first carrier deployment to the USS Nimitz
with a pair of F-35Cs.
Overall, the North American region saw a
2% decline in active fleet size over the year.
In Latin America, this was magnified to a

reverse of 5%, or almost 180 aircraft. In a
boost, Embraer received a launch production
order from the Brazilian air force for 28
KC-390 transport and tanker aircraft, the first
prototype example of which was rolled out in
late October. The same nation also has
confirmed plans to buy an initial 36 Saab
Gripen E/Fs. Under the services plans, its
total future order could be for 108 of the
Swedish-designed aircraft.
The total active fleet in Europe has
declined by 5%, or 400 aircraft in our listing,
largely due to the removal of obsolete fighter
types and revised data. Saabs Brazilian success followed disappointment in Switzerland,
where a tight public referendum during May
saw 52% of respondents vote against the procurement of 22 Gripen Es.
The UK provided a glimpse of its future
maritime revival, by naming the first of two

In the Middle East, an intense contest

between the Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter
Typhoon led to a victory for neither, as the
UAE instead opted to request an additional
batch of F-16Es from Washington, in an
enhanced Block 61 configuration. Other anticipated fighter deals in Bahrain and Qatar
have so far yet to advance to a selection stage,
but the overall trend up 1% this time is of
continued growth in the region.
The Asia Pacific region saw an annual 1%

Additional data from Ascend not listed in
this directory includes information on more
than 650 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters
which are recorded as being used for VIP

Flight Internationals annual World Air Forces directory
uses fleet data compiled for Flightglobals Ascend Fleets
and MiliCAS databases by Sandra Lewis-Rice, John
Maloney and Marc-Antony Payne, and abridged by
defence editor 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. Fleet analysis is
provided by Antoine Fafard, from Flightglobal Insight. This
produces a wide range of free sponsored reports,
covering military, air transport and business aviation
topics, through to more specialist studies on the

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.
