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.
