Over the years, Germany has quietly built up one of Europe’s most capable air forces, boasting nearly 600 military aircraft at the ready. While Germany’s air force is sometimes overshadowed by NATO’s other military powers, its sizable strike capabilities make it central to the alliance’s deterrence strategy. These strike aircraft come in the form of the Eurofighter Typhoon and Tornado IDS jets, among others. Also, even though Germany has almost the most strike aircraft of any NATO nation, there are plenty of other air forces that have equally impressive assets as well. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at the air forces across Europe.

To determine the European countries with the most military aircraft, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2025 Military Strength report from Global Firepower, an annually updated defense-related statistics website with information on 145 countries. We ranked these countries according to which countries have the most aircraft. We added supplemental information regarding each country’s current air force, including fighter aircraft, attack aircraft, and helicopters, as well as each country’s overall military strength ranking. Countries with no military aircraft were excluded.

Here is a look at the European countries with the largest air forces:

Why Are We Covering This?

Understanding the military dynamics in Europe is important considering the continent’s deeply rooted geopolitical challenges going forward. Historically, Europe has been marked by wars, shifting alliances, and territorial disputes, and yet it still remains a key player on the global stage. At the same time, alliances like the EU or NATO are some of the most powerful in terms of their influence on the world. Whether it is a question of NATO’s expansion or Russia’s campaign in Eastern Europe, these military forces tilt the region’s balance of power.
