Special-Mission Aircraft: 695

The United States is the most powerful country in the globe and the world leader when it comes to military technological capabilities with several large defense manufacturers based out of the country. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see the US top the charts in another theater of the ongoing arms race. With 695 aircraft, it has the largest fleet of special-mission aircraft in the world. These include 153 Boeing EA-18G Growlers, 118 Boeing P-8 Poseidon, 109 King Air 350, and 83 E-2 Hawkeyes (C/D), among others. The gulf between Japan and Russia – with 145 aircraft at second and third – and the United States with a whopping 695 is testament to the country’s dominance over the world in this realm.
