During lunch, a friend of mine told me that China has the largest air force. I didn't beleive him because i always tjought the US had the biggest. I've been looking up the subject online, but i can't find any clear answers. Does anyone know the answer? Also, can u also tell me #2,3,4, and 5 air forces?

In terms of numbers of aircraft China could very well be the biggest, but numbers are meaningless.

China has the world's third largest air force.

However, most of it is either obsolete or in need of repair.

Some of our air power is so advanced it's disturbing. 747's with frikin lasers that shoot missiles down, helicopters that share data, track and destroy 100 targets by barely peeping over a treeline.

I'd fear us if I were them.

I would assume it would go:

USA
Russia
China
Great Britain
Israel

... but don't quote me on that. :)

I'm really over fascinated by that new tank they're going to roll out soon. It shoots 8 shells and can program itself so they all land at the target at the same time.

We really outdo ourself in the creative killing department, I must admit.

That project got killed. Too expensive and too heavy. I was referring to the m1 abrams tanks now having a digital console :)

China does have the largest:Q, but most are obsolite:D. Our planes can target up to 8 aircraft 100 miles away simitaniouly:cool:, if US every had a air war with china our loses would be small if any. But their power is in their army--i wonder if we have enough bullets for them

I hear people talk about how big and tough China's military is, but we would smoke those guys in a military conflict. The only thing they have going for them is the 400 nukes.....:(




Of course we have something like 12,000 nukes, but that's beside the point.....
