Turkey is among the most powerful countries in Europe and the world in the military field. So much so that although it is shown in the top 10 in the general ranking, it is in the top 3 in many specific areas. Today, the number of aircraft and helicopters in the Turkish Air Force inventory and the world ranking have been announced.
How many planes and helicopters are in the Turkish Air Force inventory?
In the research conducted and shared by FlightGlobal, the most used aircraft for military purposes in the world and the most powerful countries in their fields took place. Here, the number of aircraft and helicopters in the Turkish Air Force inventory was also shared.
But let’s say that this sharing is a little out of today’s reality. Because these researches, which have been done for decades and reveal the military strength of countries, still ignore the unmanned aerial vehicles and their capabilities that can surpass aircraft-helicopter-like vehicles in many areas, even though we have arrived in 2022.

Bayraktar Kızılelma, a domestic unmanned fighter aircraft developed by Baykar, took off for a short time!
Nevertheless, we can say that it maintains its objectivity as it shows the aircraft in the inventories of all countries up to their usage areas. In our news, we share the rankings including Turkey and all the aircraft in the TAF inventory. Click here to see other countries and the full study.
