"NATO's air power is not just purely advanced fighter jets and stealth bombers, but more so the men and women in uniform that operate and maintain these air forces. Countries like Turkey and France have formidable air forces within the Alliance, but they all fall short of the US Air Force in terms of tech and scale. The USAF, in fact, has more personnel than many NATO militaries in total,"
"To determine the NATO countries with the most air force personnel, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2025 Military Strength Ranking from Global Firepower, an annually updated defense-related statistics website with information on 145 countries. Global Firepower ranked 145 countries based on their PowerIndex, a composite of over 60 measures in categories such as military might, financials, logistical capability, and geography. The smaller the PowerIndex value the more powerful a nation's theoretical conventional fighting capability is. We ranked these countries base"
NATO air power relies on both advanced aircraft and the personnel who operate and maintain them. Turkey and France maintain some of the Alliance's most formidable air forces, but their forces generally lag behind the United States in technology and scale. The U.S. Air Force contains more personnel than many individual NATO militaries. The 2025 Military Strength Ranking from Global Firepower covers 145 countries and uses a PowerIndex based on over 60 measures, including military strength, financial resources, logistical capability, and geography; lower PowerIndex values indicate stronger conventional fighting capability.
