Um, just looking at numbers, the USAF/USMC/USN
does have slightly higher number of fighter a/c of all 4
combined (not counting reserves which probably double the number
and counting FGA for the rest but not for USAF which includes the
A-10 etc). Roughly...
France ~300 fighters (200 m-2000 with only 50+ rafales).
UK ~220 fighters (100 tornados, 60 harriers, 60 typhoons)
Germany ~280 fighters (200 tornados, 30+ typhoons)
China ~2,000 fighters (300 suks, 200 J-10s, 300 J-8s, 400 J-7s,
300 JH-7s, 500 Q-5s)
US 600 F-15s, 100+ F22s (stealth), 1,200 F-16s, 900 F-18s, 150
AV-8s.
Not counting integration issues, pilot training levels, stealth,
munitions, EA, AEW, etc. Probably have to add Russia to the
combined 4 to make it a fairer fight esp if the 2,443 F-35s
are going to be added.
