n action-packed 2011 saw air power

put to the test across its full spectrum of activities, from all-out conict and clandestine cross-border
raids to ying humanitarian relief missions in
the wake of natural disasters.
For once, the main defence headlines of the
year were not driven by coalition action in Afghanistan or Iraq, but the result of the Arab
Spring movement that swept through Middle Eastern and North African nations, bringing unrest and political upheaval.
While regime change was brought about in
Egypt without the major involvement of the
local military in support of then-president
Hosni Mubarak, the national movement to
oust Col Muammar Gaddafi from more than
four decades of power in Libya was a longer
and more bloody experience. Initially led by
the US armed forces from mid-March under
the banner Odyssey Dawn, the United

Nations-backed campaign to protect Libyan
civilians from persecution also benefitted
from the involvement of several members
of the Arab League. NATO took full command
of the activity from 31 March, with its
Unified Protector mission eventually lasting for seven months and totalling more than
26,300 sorties.
Libya provided an unusual test for participating nations. While the assembled force of
fighters from players such as Canada, France,
Qatar, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and
the UK allocated to enforce a no-fly zone over
the country provided sufficient threat to keep
any pro-Gaddafi aircraft on the ground, the
long distances involved in operating from
bases throughout the Mediterranean delivered
a logistical challenge. Command and control,
targeting and communication issues also

arose for some participants, such as the UAEs

Lockheed Martin F-16E/Fs. And with no acknowledged coalition forces on the ground,
the task of identifying rebel forces from regime troops was also testing.
COMBAT FOCUS
While the USA stepped back from playing the
lead role over Libya following its provision of
early and intense strikes against Gaddas forces and infrastructure, it did continue to deliver
key support via the allocation of tankers and
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
aircraft: both of which are still in short supply
among its allies.
Washingtons main focus remained in
fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, and also
in targeting its senior leadership in neighbouring Pakistan, and also further afield in nations
such as Yemen. On 2 May, its decade-long ac-

tion to locate Osama bin Laden was finally

ended when he was killed during a special
forces raid on a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A tantalising glimpse of the USAs advances into the world of stealthy rotorcraft
was provided after one of its helicopters
crashed during the troop insertion.
While the bulk of the aircraft believed to
have been a heavily modified Sikorsky UH-60
Black Hawk was destroyed, its tail structure
survived intact.
Meanwhile, in addition to supporting the
fight over Libya and in Afghanistan, several
nations also found the capacity to fly in supplies in the aftermath of a massive earthquake
and tsunami which devastated parts of Japan
in March. US Air Force Boeing C-17s flew
into Sendai, for example, to help assist with
the recovery efforts.
Elsewhere this year, major earthquakes also
hit New Zealand and Turkey, and floods affected parts of Pakistan. All drew support
from air arms which are typically being asked
to do more with reduced resources or personnel as most nations contend with severe budgetary limitations.
Our new World Air Forces directory lists
over 52,000 aircraft as being in active use with
160 nations around the globe: a drop of
approximately 2,000 airframes since last year.

More than one-third of this reduction can be
attributed to improved data, which has allowed a combined 850 obsolete Harbin H-5
and Nanchang Q-5 combat aircraft to be deleted from the inventories of the Chinese air
force and navy.
Another significant contributor has been
the coalition and rebel action which destroyed or disabled a large amount of the
former Libyan Arab Air Forces fleet.
Ukraine is reported to now

have around 300 fewer RSK
MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-24
strike aircraft in use than
previously listed

Bin Laden raid prompted stealth questions
With no information available yet about

which of the Gaddafi regimes aircraft survived the conflict, our new entry for the nation has been restricted to showing only the
little more than a dozen transport aircraft and
helicopters that have been seen in use since
the end of hostilities. This contrasts with last
years data for the nation, which listed almost
380 aircraft as operational.
Another significant reduction is also
marked in the entry for Ukraine, which is reported to now have around 300 fewer RSK
MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-24 strike aircraft in
use than previously listed.
Southern Sudan appears as a first-time
entrant, with a small fleet of 11 Mil Mi-17 gg
helicopters. But reflecting the current needs

of operating in Afghanistan, numbers for combat helicopters and special mission aircraft
have both seen slight increases.
FIGHTER BATTLES
As ever, potential business in the fighter market resulted in many stories during 2011, but
few new sales by early December. The Swiss
Federal Council in late November announced
its intention to buy 22 Gripen NGs from Saab,
with funding to be sought next year. If confirmed, the win will be of great significance to
the Swedish manufacturer, which is looking
to kick-start the new generation version of itsfighter after making previous deliveries to the
Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa, Sweden and Thailand.
Iraqs acquisition of 18 F-16C/Ds is also
progressing, with the sale to extend Lockheeds production of the type through 2018.
Companies are also awaiting the outcome
of several other key battles. Indias initially
126-unit medium multi-role combat aircraft
contest could potentially be concluded before
year-end, with the decision to provide a massive boost for either the Dassault-led Rafale
US Air Force
gg transport helicopters. As with previous

directories, more than 900 military aircraft dedicated for use as VIP transports
around the world are not included.
As before, the USA tops our league tables
in every directory category for the number of
aircraft in active use, with its air force, army,
Marine Corps and navy together accounting
for 25% of the total equipment listed this year.
Russia is a distant second, followed by China,
Japan and India, although these four nations
combined account for only three-quarters of
Washingtons total assets.
While a severe budget crunch is now being
faced by Department of Defense planners, this
dominance shows no sign of being diminished for many years to come. This is borne
out by our data about confirmed orders, where
the USA accounts for almost 1,700 of the
5,400 aircraft recorded. This roughly 30%
stake increases to more than half of the pending future purchases detailed in the directory,
with the US military to potentially acquire
over 3,900 of the 6,700 aircraft identified.
In line with the overall decrease recorded
in the directory, global fleets have shrunk in
three of our equipment categories: combat aircraft; transports/tankers; and training aircraft/

International team or the Eurofighter consortium. But Indias Hindustan Aeronautics will
be a perhaps bigger beneficiary of the selection, as just 18 of the winning type are to undergo final assembly in Europe before work
and vital know-how is progressively transferred to the customer nation.
Japan also could be poised to announce the
winner of its F-X contest to replace air forceoperated McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantoms.
Boeings F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the Eurofighter Typhoon are in contention, along
with Lockheeds F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The Rafale and Typhoon are also now going
toe-to-toe in a process to meet the future needs
of the UAE, with earlier exclusive negotiations conducted with the French team having
failed to progress to a contract. Although the
Rafale performed well both from land bases
and the deck of the French navy aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle during the course of the
Libya campaign, the rebuke from the Gulf has
come at a bad time for Dassault, which is still
seeking the first international buyer for its
omnirole strike aircraft. Brazil could also
potentially reach a decision in its delayed
fighter competition in 2012, although the nation is facing financial pressures linked to it
hosting the Football World Cup in 2014. The
Rafale was identified as the preferred choice
of the previous government, but faces stiff
competition from the Gripen NG and Super
Hornet. Boeing delivered its last of 24 F/A18Fs to the Royal Australian Air Force recently under its first export sale of the type.
MIXED PROSPECTS
A six-year battle between the General Electric/Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team and the
US Department of Defense over the alternate
F136 engine has finally come to an end
though, with the industry team having pulled
the plug on its proposed self-funding of remaining development work. This leaves Pratt
& Whitney as the exclusive engine supplier
for the JSF, with its F135.
Elsewhere in the US fighter sector, Lockheed will during 2012 deliver its last F-22A
Raptor air superiority fighter to the US Air
Force. The service has had most of its current
examples grounded over recent months while
it continues investigations into the cause of
several incidents where pilots encountered

hypoxia-like symptoms.
Safety also remains in the spotlight in the
UK, where the Royal Air Forces BAE Systems
Hawk T1/1As are returning to action after a
grounding period prompted by the death of a
Red Arrows display team pilot in a ground incident involving his Martin-Baker Mk 10 ejection seat. This represented the teams second
Chinas march towards

elding a fth-generation
ghter appears to be
progressing well with the J-20
fatality during 2011.
Meanwhile, Sukhoi has continued development work on its PAK-FA/T-50. A third
development aircraft entered flight test in November, by which point its predecessors had
logged more than a combined 100 sorties.
United Aircraft president Mikhail Pogosyan
in August forecast that up to 600 production
aircraft could be built, including 200 each for
the Russian and Indian air forces. Although
sales of Russian combat aircraft have fallen
markedly since the end of the Cold War, a
projection of just 200 more for export customers could be on the modest side.
Chinas march towards fielding a fifth-generation fighter also appears to be progressing
well, with Chengdu having flown its J-20
demonstrator on numerous occasions since
its surprise debut last January. Beijings

Safety concerns meant

airborne sightings of the
US Air Forces F-22A
Raptors were rare in 2011
But many future fighter orders remain likely to go to the F-35, despite the programmes
mixed fortunes over the last 12 months. Compared against 2010, Lockheed had a good
year, exceeding its planned number of test
flights with 917 flown by 6 December and
also performing well during the first deckbased operations using two short take-off and
vertical landing (STOVL) F-35Bs aboard the
US Marine Corps amphibious carrier the USS
Wasp. The first aircraft destined for an international customer was also recently rolled off
the assembly line in Fort Worth, Texas, with
the UK to take delivery of the STOVL platform during 2012.
But the discovery of cracks in a lift fanrelated component provided the latest example of the challenges facing Lockheed and its
industry partners in having to develop, test
and produce the F-35 concurrently. Such concerns have prompted some Congressmen to
seek a reduction in planned orders while
teething problems can be addressed.

to Sendai, Japan
More modestly, 2011 also saw a first move

from the South African defence industry to reestablish a presence in the combat aircraft sector, with the Paramount Group and Aerosud
having unveiled the advanced high-performance reconnaissance light aircraft, or AHRLAC. Unveiled in September, the two-seat
design is expected to make its first flight in the
second quarter of 2012. But while some nations may be interested in acquiring such lowcost aircraft for counter-insurgency missions,
the USAF appears likely to step back from the
niche role. In late November, Hawker Beechcraft was told its AT-6 would not be considered for a light air support deal for the Afghan
air force, and funding for a proposed followon deal for the US service has been deleted.
An Embraer/Sierra Nevada team is waiting to
hear by the end of the year whether it could

EMB-314 Super Tucano.

Alenia Aermacchi experienced highs and
lows with its M-346 Master, handing over
its first production example of the advanced
jet trainer to the Italian air force in mid-November, but crashing its first prototype barely
one week later as the company left the Dubai
air show still without the closure of a longplanned contract with the UAE.
Equipped with aircraft new and old, air
arms around the world must be prepared to

ready to respond to the unexpected. O
