Ha, not as interesting as India vs. Chia, or USA vs. Russia

US Vs Russa?

The US has 9 times the aircraft as Russia, and they're a step ahead technology wise... and even when the T-50 is ready for more production it's not quite in the league as the US planes.


Ahem...

Combat aircraft (2010 figures):

US 2970 --> mostly F16, F15 and A10

China 2344 --> mostly Q5, J7, J11

Russia 1509 --> mostly SU24/25/27/30/35 and MIG29/31

F15 and F16 are not a step ahead technology wise... F18 and F117 were a flop and were retired.

Where in the world are you getting those numbers from?

The Airforce alone has over 2,000 fighters and 5,000 total planes   (Each branch of the armed forces has their own planes and there is much more then fighters that have offensive capabilties.)

Aside from which... F22.

From FlightGlobal 2010 report: http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/media/reports_pdf/world-air-forces-2010-78877.aspx

They have 160 F22, that's ~5%, but the bulk is still made up of F15/F16/A10 for the air force and F18 for the navy, that is 87% of the total.
