FIXED-WING | AIRPOWER

Ranking total fighter/interceptor aircraft strength by country, from highest to lowest.



The Fighter remains the frontline defender for any one global power with the 5th Generation fighter headlining the group and 4.0th / 4.5th Generation models still being fielded in number. More modern fighters / interceptors are equipped with powerful advanced radar systems coupled to air-to-air missile solutions. Examples of such types considered by the GFP ranking includes the American F-22 / F-15 / F-16 / F/A-18, the Russian Su-27/35 and Mikoyan MiG-29, the Eurofighter Typhoon, the French Dassault Rafale, and the Swedish Saab Gripen.
