I dont like Israeli army being at the ninth place. Look at the stupidity of this report, india has mostly russian made weapons but her army is better than russia, what joke.

Do you think Israel should be lower??

Ammmm, India sure does have a Russian weapon but an Armey rating isn't just how big is the army and how much weapons does he got, Israel have a small well trained Armey with new hi-tech weapons for her soldiers, that what made her Armey better then her Arabs neighbors it the last 60 years. But you should also take in charge the “homeland protection”! The Israeli Armey is only for defense (not the fence, heard it once, not funny!!) purpose (I’m not sure about the spelling of the last word) only. I think that Israel should be a bit higher (something like 4-6 more) . And another point, Israel is now getting 102 brand new f-16i;s. Now after that(year 2008) Israel goanna have the second largest air force in the world, even larger then UK.

And another thing, Israel is selling India all of her high tech weapons then that means that we have and advantage on her

What will be the compesition of the Israeli air force? PS - it won't be second largest because China at least will have massive numbers of aircraft. Not all that good but still in terms of numbers huge.

-Can I ask what the total inventory of the Israeli Air force will be in 2008 considering that the RAF Is procuring 232 Eurofighter Typhoons and jointly with the RN 150 F-35 JSF which are both to my knowledge a generation ahead of the F-16, not to mention other aircraft in the RAF that are not necessarily are front line fighters or even combat aircraft.

The RAF will get an increase of about 100 combat aircraft and about 25 transport aircraft after the current plans have been completed This will include 232 Typhoon 150 F-35 112 Tornado GR4 Total - 494 combat aircraft Transport Aircraft 45 C-130/J 25 A400M 26 A330* 4-6 C-17 Total - 100-102 Transport aircraft *Note that the A330 while being RAF aircraft are to be operated by civilian companies in peace time and as such there may be more aircraft ordered than the number needed to simply replace the VC10 and Tristars.

israeli's airlines have 747's 777 767 757 whats ur point :)

What are you talking about? I'm just giving future numbers of RAF aircraft. If you're refering to the A330 then you should realise that although they are operated by civilians during peace time they remain RAF aircraft and are used as such when needed. It's simply a way of keeping costs down, it's got nothing to do with comercial airliners.

Instead of 2008 I"m going to push it back a year to 2009 cause thats when the last f-16I will be delivered. IAF Order of Battle f-15 Approx 100 f-16 Approx 345 F-4 Approx 140 Considering that only the first 80 or so Eurofighters will be in the RAF by 2009, its not a force the RAF should want to play tag with.
