Craig Hoyle London / Data source: Cirium Israel’s air force played a major part in conducting
large-scale strikes against Hamas infrastructure

T
wo major conflicts dominated the headlines in
2023, requiring the involvement of air arms in
Europe and the Middle East. Ukraine’s defence
against invading Russian forces continued for
a second year, while the Israeli military responded
to unprecedented attacks made on its territory by
Hamas terrorists.
All eyes were on Ukraine for the first nine months
of the year, with international momentum gathering
in support of president Volodymyr Zelensky’s
“fighter coalition” campaign.
While Kyiv had already secured pledges to help
re-stock its depleted air force with RAC MiG-29s and
Sukhoi Su-25s donated by Poland and Slovakia, its
leader had called on NATO nations to supply it
with more advanced Western
types, and spe-
cifically the
Lockheed
Martin F-16.
After many months
of deliberation by
supportive partners and
Washington DC – whose
approval would be vital in enabling any transfer of US-
built jets – Zelensky’s call was answered by Denmark
and the Netherlands. Together, the nations have
promised to supply a combined 61 surplus F-16A/Bs,
available as they field replacement Lockheed F-35s.
European nations and the USA are providing
personnel training in advance of the first F-16s being
transferred in 2024.
Belgium also indicated in October that it will
transfer an undisclosed number of its in-service
F-16s to Ukraine, while there have been discussions
between Kyiv and Stockholm over a potential future
transfer of some Saab Gripens from Swedish stocks.
and personnel in the Gaza Strip after the 7 October
attacks. Israel has more than 600 in-service assets,
including a combined 280 F-16, F-35 and Boeing F-15
combat aircraft.
Separately, instability in Sudan involving fighting
between rival factions in late April prompted multiple
nations to deploy transport aircraft to evacuate
civilians and embassy staff. The unrest also depleted
Khartoum’s military aircraft fleet, which now stands at
170: down 21 from 12 months ago.
Chinese claims
China, meanwhile, continued a policy of forcefully
asserting its territorial claims near disputed islands in
the South China Sea, with Australia, Canada and the
USA all alleging “unsafe” operations by its fighters
near their aircraft in the region. Beijing’s military also
has maintained heightened tensions with the break-
away province of Taiwan, with its combat aircraft
and unmanned air vehicles routinely encroaching on
Taipei’s airspace.
In another development of note, Finland in 2023
completed the accession process to join NATO, and
Sweden is poised to follow suit. Once confirmed,
Stockholm will become the alliance’s 32nd member.
Our new directory details some 53,401 aircraft
in active use with the armed forces of 161 nations
around the globe: a net increase of 136 from 12
months earlier. Our review covers one country fewer
than last time, after Gambia retired its lone Su-25
combat aircraft.
Four regions underwent percentage-scale fleet
size increases during our review period, with the
Middle East’s 2% climb (to 4,573: up 88) the largest.
Africa (4,177, up 59), Russia and the Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS) (5,114, up 61), and the
Asia-Pacific (14,743, up 184) each boosted their
collective inventories by 1%.
Net decreases affected Europe (-1%, to 8,065),
North America (-1%/13,584), and Latin America
(-3%/3,145).
Additions in the Middle East included Bahrain taking
its first single-seat F-16 Block 70 fighter – initially to
support pilot instruction in the USA – and three Bell
505 training helicopters. Iran’s air force also boosted
its training fleet, fielding six MiG-29UBs and two

Mozambique became the first to field Mwari reconnaissance and light-attack aircraft

Yakovlev Yak-130s. Qatar, meanwhile, bolstered its
combat strength, completing 36-strong fleets of F-15s
and Dassault Aviation Rafales.
In Africa, Benin added two Airbus Helicopters
H125M transports, transferred from the French army,
and Chad introduced a trio of Turkish Aerospace
Hurkus C turboprop-powered trainers. Niger boosted
its fleet of ex-US Air Force (USAF) Lockheed C-130H
tactical transports to three, and Tunisia took its last of
eight Beechcraft T-6C basic trainers.
African orders
South African airframer Paramount confirmed
Mozambique as the first recipient for its Mwari
reconnaissance and light-attack aircraft, and named
the Democratic Republic of the Congo as its second
buyer for the type. In September, the company said
three examples were in use and another six on order.
Orders included an Egyptian deal for 12 Boeing
CH-47F Chinook transport helicopters, and Nigeria
will take a dozen MD Helicopters Cayuse Warrior Plus
rotorcraft, in a commitment that could subsequently
rise to 36. But Senegal axed its order for four Aero
Vodochody L-39NGs.
Eritrea retired its six Aermacchi-built MB-339
trainers, and put its seven MiG-29s in storage. Guinea
ended operations with the Mikoyan MiG-21, retiring
three, and Togo axed its six MB-326 trainers.
Notable changes to Russia’s inventory included its
Su-25 fleet contracting by 21, to 176, and an increase in
its stealthy Su-57 fleet, with 14 now recorded as in use.
CIS member Azerbaijan ordered Leonardo’s C-27J
tactical transport, with its commitment believed to
be for a single example. It also ended operations
with the MiG-21.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Australia received the
first three of 40 Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawks
ordered to replace its 46 NH Industries NH90s –
locally named the MRH90 Taipan. The latter type was
permanently removed from operational use in July,

ordered 20 new C-130Js.
Bangladesh’s air force completed its 24-strong fleet
of Grob Aircraft G120TP trainers.
The Indian navy is to acquire 26 Rafale M fighters,
and in late October retired its last four Ilyushin
Il-38 maritime patrol aircraft. Indonesia, meanwhile,
welcomed three of its five ordered C-130Js, and
made advances in the fighter sector. It has now
ordered 24 Rafales, against a 42-unit commitment,
and signed a memorandum of understanding with
Boeing for up to 24 F-15IDNs.
Japan ordered its fifth and sixth Boeing KC-46A
Pegasus tankers, and signed a follow-on deal with
Leonardo Helicopters for an undisclosed number of
additional MCH101 mine countermeasures aircraft.
Malaysia’s army fielded six MD Helicopters MD530s,
while retiring its last three Sikorsky S-61s. Its air
force ordered 18 of a potential 36 Korea Aerospace

aircraft, and will buy two ATR 72MP maritime patrol
aircraft from Leonardo. Kuala Lumpur also retired its

Other retirements in the region included New Zea-
land’s Lockheed P-3K Orion maritime patrol aircraft,
which left use after almost six decades of service.
European developments included Austria fielding
its first Leonardo-supplied AW169M training helicop-
ters. It will take a dozen in this role, and 24 armed
utility examples. The nation also plans to buy four
Embraer C-390 transports, to replace C-130Ks, and
retired its Aerospatiale SA316 light helicopters.
The Czech Republic received its first Bell AH-1Z
attack helicopters, and removed 11 Mil Mi-24/35s
from use, gifting them to Ukraine. It launched
negotiations for two C-390s, and approved a
planned $5 billion acquisition of 24 F-35As, to be
delivered from early next decade.

F-35 plans
Germany in December 2022 also approved plans to
purchase 35 F-35As, to replace some of its Panavia
Tornados, and Romania in 2023 outlined its ambition
to acquire up to 48 of the fifth-generation type.
Elsewhere, the first four F-35As to arrive in Denmark
were received in mid-September, Greece welcomed
its lead pair of Leonardo M-346 advanced jet trainers,
and Hungary took its first two of 16 H225Ms.
Other arrivals included two Airbus Defence & Space
