After the US, China, and Russia — who do you think are the next top 3 air forces (4th to 6th)
继美国、中国和俄罗斯之后,你认为哪三个国家将位列全球空军四至六名?
We can all probably agree that the top 3 air forces right now are
我们或许都能认同,目前全球排名前三的空军分别是:
1st USAF
第一名:美国空军
2nd PLAAF (China)
第二名:中国人民解放军空军(中国)
3rd VKS (Russia)
第三位:俄罗斯空天军
But who do you think rank 4th to 6th in terms of overall combat capability. Including fleet size, pilot training, tech level, logistics, and readiness
但你认为在综合战斗力方面,哪国空军能位列第四至第六名?需考量机队规模、飞行员训练、技术水平、后勤保障及战备状态等因素。
Some obvious candidates might be
一些显而易见的候选国家包括:
Japan
日本
United Kingdom (RAF)
英国(皇家空军)
India
印度
France
法国
South Korea
韩国
Israel
以色列
I’m curious how people would rank them and why.
我很好奇大家会如何排序以及理由。
For me its probably a toss up between South Korea, India, and Japan in no particular order. But if I were to rank them it would be Japan, India, then South Korea
对我来说,韩国、印度和日本可能难分伯仲,没有特定顺序。但如果非要排序的话,我会选日本、印度,然后是韩国。

I’m not even sure Russia is number 3, they don’t even have air dominance over Ukraine.
我甚至不确定俄罗斯能否排第三,他们连在乌克兰战场都无法取得制空权。
But I’m absolutely certain India isn’t number 4. They have zero 5th gen jets and they just got their ass kicked by Pakistan, a nation whose air force is not even in the top 10.
但我可以百分百确定印度排不到第四。他们一架五代机都没有,而且刚刚被巴基斯坦——一个空军连前十都进不了的国家——狠狠教训了一顿。
jerpear
All around capability, Russia absolutely should be no. 3, with a significant gap to no. 4 (imo either UK or Japan).
综合能力来看,俄罗斯绝对应该位列第三,与第四名(我个人认为可能是英国或日本)之间存在显著差距。
Russia has indigenous 5th Gen fighters, in moderate quantities, their own advanced missiles, some of the best multirole platforms out there in the Flanker family, their own tankers, strategic bombers, transports, and heli families. There's no significant holes in the Russian fleet except AEWC aircraft.
俄罗斯拥有自主研制的五代机(数量适中)、先进导弹、侧卫家族中堪称最佳的多用途战机平台、自产的加油机、战略轰炸机、运输机及直升机系列。除了预警机存在短板外,俄罗斯空军机队几乎没有明显缺陷。
Obviously China and the US are far ahead, but I wouldn't expect any other air force to fare better than the Russians have in their current conflict.
中美两国显然遥遥领先,但我不认为其他任何空军在当前冲突中的表现能比俄罗斯更出色。
Norzon24
While I agree Russia still deserves the 3rd spot due to having a compressive and large air force. Su57 isn't a true 5 gen jet since it by many accounts isn't very stealthy, and not in large scale service
虽然我同意俄罗斯仍应位居第三,因其拥有规模庞大且全面的空军力量。但苏-57 并非真正的第五代战机,多方评估表明其隐身性能欠佳,且尚未大规模服役

Israel might even be number 4. They have a small elite force that seems to work well in surprise attacks and decapitation strikes. I don’t think India could pull off the same without F-35s. What Israel really lacks is numbers.
以色列甚至可能排名第四。他们拥有一支精干的精锐力量,在突袭和斩首行动中表现出色。我认为没有 F-35 战机的印度难以做到同样水平。以色列真正缺乏的是数量规模。

Will place Japanese fleet
将日本航空自卫队列为第四
Strong fleet with hundred F35 which are great force multiplier, and they have strong AWACS and transport fleet.
拥有百架 F35 的强大机队,这些战机是极佳的战斗力倍增器,且配备先进的预警机和运输机队
And most importantly, it has much stronger industrial base especially in respect to metalurgy and engines
更重要的是其工业基础更为雄厚,尤其在冶金和发动机领域优势突出
5) I will place IAF because of strong transport, and force multiplier fleet, plus having advantages of technology in some respects than Korea, such as AWACS, engines, air defence system, helicopters, etc etc
第五选择印度空军,因其强大的运输能力和战力倍增机队,且在预警系统、发动机、防空体系、直升机等技术层面较韩国更具优势
IAF is also at extremely bad position where Indian programs and industry are still maturing, and imports are either extremely expensive or restricted such as F35.
印度空军也陷入了极为不利的境地——本土军工项目与产业仍处于成长期,而进口装备要么价格极其昂贵(如 F-35),要么受到严格限制。
Another problem is horrendous project planning and procurement.
另一个问题在于糟糕的项目规划与采购体系。
So, it will look completely different in 5 years, and completely different in 10, and so on.
因此五年后的局面将截然不同,十年后又会是另一番光景,以此类推。
Yet another problem is due to missiles since best A2A are R77 and MICA, given integration of Meteor with Rafale is now doubted
更严峻的问题来自导弹领域,目前最先进的空对空导弹仅有 R77 和 MICA 可用,而阵风战斗机整合"流星"导弹的计划如今也遭到质疑。
6) Korea because again, strong fighter and AWACS fleet, plus main advantage they have much better project planning and efficiently so they can develop and induct projects much quickly.
6) 韩国同样位列第六,因其拥有强大的战斗机和预警机编队,且核心优势在于更优的项目规划与执行效率,使得其项目研发与列装速度显著领先。
KF21 is a great example of management from what I've read of the history since they understood limitations and went with what they could so they can perfect it later
以 KF-21 为例,据我所了解的发展历程,其项目管理堪称典范——他们清醒认知技术局限,选择务实路径优先实现基础型号,为后续升级预留完善空间。

I'm not sure....

All the internal exercises of the USAF and PLAAF show that when you pit the stealth jets against the non-stealth jets, non-stealth jets always get slaughtered. The results are very lopsided.
美国空军和中国人民解放军的内部演习均表明,当隐形战机与非隐形战机对抗时,非隐形战机总是惨遭碾压。战果呈现一边倒态势。
If PAF could kick IAF's ass on May 7th with only 25 J10Cs, imagine what Israel's 45 F35s, South Korea's 39 F35s and the UK's 37 F35s would do when pit against India Air Force. Not mention that they not only have lots of stealth jets, they also have better AWACS, better datalix, better integration among assets and better missiles.
如果巴基斯坦空军仅凭 25 架 J10C 就能在 5 月 7 日痛击印度空军,那么试想以色列的 45 架 F35、韩国的 39 架 F35 和英国的 37 架 F35 对阵印度空军时会是什么局面。更不用说这些国家不仅拥有大量隐身战机,还配备了更先进的预警机、数据链系统、作战体系整合能力以及导弹技术。
IAF has lots of airfrxs but the truly modern ones are only those 36 Rafales (probably only 32 now) and the integration among its asserts are poor, too.
印度空军拥有大量战机,但真正现代化的仅有那 36 架(现在可能只剩 32 架)阵风战机,且其装备间的协同能力也很差。
I'd venture that in a real combat scenario, IAF probably gets its ass kicked by these air forces.
我敢打赌,在实战中,印度空军很可能会被这些空军力量打得落花流水。
Key_Agent_3039
RAAF is incredibly slept on, they have 24 Super Hornets and 72 F-35s (currently the largest number outside US) and amazing force multipliers like 6 E-7 Wedgetails and 12 growlers. And they have advanced munitions for their fleet like AIM-120Ds, JASSM-ERs, LRASMs
澳大利亚皇家空军(RAAF)被严重低估了,他们拥有 24 架超级大黄蜂和 72 架 F-35(目前是美国以外最大的 F-35 机队),还配备了 6 架 E-7"楔尾"预警机和 12 架"咆哮者"电子战机等强大的力量倍增器。其机队还配备了 AIM-120D 导弹、JASSM-ER 远程导弹和 LRASM 反舰导弹等先进弹药。
I would rate them above the RAF in its current form
我认为他们目前的状态比英国皇家空军(RAF)更胜一筹

Yeah, I’ve heard bad things about the lack of experience for IDF ground forces, but their air force is top notch. It seems they’ve focused on air domination first and foremost while many militaries focus on ground domination.

People are really discounting the Pakistani air force by not putting them in the running when they are a mirror image of the USAF and one of the few air forces that have actually fought a peer engagement in the last 20 years.

Iraq fought their peer Iran in 1988 but it didn't help them when fighting the US that hasn't fought a peer since Vietnam/Korea/WW2.
伊拉克在 1988 年与实力相当的伊朗交战,但这并未帮助他们对抗自越战/朝鲜战争/二战以来未经历过同等较量的美军。

I guess it depends how much orthodox you are with the Air Force definition. It can be argued that within the criteria set by the OP, USN excels more than most other nominated contenders. At the end of the day, tasks and skill-sets vary significantly among all the contenders.
我认为这取决于对空军定义的严格程度。按照原帖设定的标准,可以说美国海军航空兵比大多数提名竞争者更具优势。毕竟各竞争者的任务定位和技术专长差异显著。
nikkythegreat
If you include them maybe 3 or 4. They have 40 Gen 5 and 600+ gen4. It's arguable if you rank USN or VKS as 3 depending on how much weight you put on bombers and 4.0 gen.
如果纳入统计或许能排第 3 或 4 名。他们拥有 40 架五代机和 600 多架四代机。根据对轰炸机和 4.0 代战机的权重分配,美国海军航空兵与俄罗斯空天军孰强孰弱存在争议。
US Marine corps has around 200 gen4 and 100+ gen 5, but these are the F35B variants which are not as capable as the USAF F35A variant. Plus they are most likely limited to VL platforms. You could arguably put them right after Russia but thats a stretch, they are probably 6 or 7.
美国海军陆战队航空兵约有 200 架四代机和 100 多架五代机(F35B 型),但其性能不及空军版的 F35A,且很可能受限于垂直起降平台。勉强可排俄罗斯之后,但比较牵强,实际应在第 6 或 7 名。
US army aviation is mostly helicopters.
美国陆军航空兵主要为直升机部队。
Accidental-Genius
Hell the USMC fleet alone could take on most nations. I believe the USMC is the 7th largest “Air Force” on its own.
单是美国海军陆战队的机队就足以抗衡多数国家。据我所知,陆战队自身就是全球第七大"空中力量"。

Rankings like these are silly as fuck. Since AF have tasks and these aren’t the same. The USAF would struggle mightily to do the tasks the Russian Air Force and air defence does. Protect long borders against powerful opponents. That doesn’t make the USAF bad.
这类排名简直蠢爆了。因为各国空军的任务各不相同。美国空军若执行俄罗斯空军和防空部队的任务——在漫长边境抵御强敌——会极其吃力,但这不代表美国空军不行。
Similarly the UK and RAAF would probably not be able to do the tasks that the PAF does in its own territory and region. PAF certainly won’t be able to do RAAF’s job. Might be able to do some of RAF job. IDF air arm is highly specialised for Israel and useless pretty much anywhere else.
同理,英国皇家空军和澳大利亚空军很可能无法胜任巴基斯坦空军在其本土及周边区域的任务,而巴基斯坦空军也肯定干不了澳大利亚空军的活儿,或许能勉强完成部分英国空军的任务。以色列空军则是为该国高度特化的产物,放到其他地区基本没用。
PLArealtalk
Unironically the RAAF should probably be a contender, if we are looking at "current in service/delivered" capability.
平心而论,若以"现役/已交付"战力为标准,澳大利亚皇家空军(RAAF)确实具备入围实力。
With 72 fully delivered F-35As, 24 twin seat Super Hornets and 12 Growlers, supported by 6 Wedgetails and 7 proper A330 tankers, that is unironically more 5th generation aircraft in current service than... I think almost all of the other nations listed there. Australia also trains very closely with the US, and there's a reason they were able to receive Growlers (a rather sensitive capability).
其现役机队包括 72 架已全部交付的 F-35A、24 架双座型超级大黄蜂和 12 架"咆哮者"电子战机,辅以 6 架"楔尾"预警机和 7 架 A330 多用途加油机——单就第五代战机现役数量而言,已超越...我认为几乎名单上所有其他国家。澳大利亚还与美军保持高度协同训练,这也是其能获准装备"咆哮者"(这项高度敏感的作战能力)的重要原因。
Of course, the total limited fleet size will put the RAAF behind in terms of airfrxs compared to say, Russia, India, Japan or Israel. But it is also simultaneously true that right now Australia technically has more in service 5th gen fighters than the UK, Israel, or Japan, or South Korea (not to mention Russia and France), supported by a modest by but capable fleet of the world's premier/class defining 4.5th gen fighter and the only operator of its dedicated EW variant outside of the US, rounded off by a very capable AEW&C and tanker fleet for its size.
当然,受限于机队总规模,澳空军在飞机数量上仍落后于俄罗斯、印度、日本或以色列等国。但不可否认的是,当前澳大利亚现役五代机数量确实超过英国、以色列、日本或韩国(更不必提俄罗斯和法国),还配备了规模适中却战力强悍的全球顶尖 4.5 代战机(包括美国以外唯一专业电子战改型),并拥有与其体量相称的先进预警机与加油机队作为战力倍增器。
As F-35s are delivered more widely to customers around the world, the RAAF of course will be knocked down a few rungs.
随着 F-35 向全球客户广泛交付,澳空军的排名自然会有所下滑。

The RAF simply for prestige and experience. Whilst have a lot of flaws with our combat aircraft (lack of maintenance and spare sorts for example) and a severe lack of airfrxs needed to even respond to a local regional conflict or crisis let alone (god forbid) a near peer advisory like Russia or China, we still have a lot of highly trained pilots and capable aircraft which can’t be discredited. I will admit that we can and should have a much larger and modern RAF. Ideally it would have a combat fleet of at least 100 F-35s (a mix of A, B and C variants) supported by dozens of logistics aircraft (transports and tankers) but also drones.
选择英国皇家空军更多是出于声望和历史积淀的考量。尽管我们的战机存在诸多问题(例如维护不足和备件短缺),甚至严重缺乏应对地区冲突或危机所需的机群规模——更遑论与俄罗斯或中国这样的近似对手抗衡(但愿不会发生)——但我们仍拥有大量训练有素飞行员和性能优异的战机,这点不容否认。必须承认,我们本可以也应当打造一支规模更大、更现代化的皇家空军。理想状态下,这支空军应配备至少 100 架 F-35(包含 A/B/C 三种型号),辅以数十架后勤保障机(运输机与加油机)及无人机支援。
Even though it would cost a lot of money, we should look into buying air launched nuclear weapons from the US to complement our existing sea based deterrent (SSBN’s equipped with Trident SLBM’s). Even though such a move would be politically controversial and receive massive backlash, I have little doubt that the Trump administration would approve of such a deal especially if we became a more active partner in AUKUS
尽管这将耗资巨大,我们仍应考虑从美国采购空射核武器,以补充我们现有的海基威慑力量(配备三叉戟潜射弹道导弹的核潜艇)。尽管此举在政治上会引发争议并遭受强烈反对,但我毫不怀疑特朗普政府会批准这笔交易,尤其是如果我们能在澳英美联盟中成为更积极的合作伙伴。
Of course I am biased towards my home country (though I am a former army cadet) but I stand by my opinion
