10 Strongest Air Forces of the World

Luftwaffe (Germany):

Luftwaffe is the aerial warfare branch of the German Armed Forces. It was founded in 1956 and remains as the German Air Force to the present day. Going back to the history, Germany was forbidden to have air force since the Treaty of Versailles and the German pilots trained secretly in violation of the treaty. In the modern era, the United States Government still lends nuclear weapons to Luftwaffe under the NATO nuclear sharing agreement. In 2005 and 2008, Luftwaffe F-4 Phantom fighter planes took part in the Baltic Air Policing operation of NATO. To support military operations in Afghanistan, the Luftwaffe had sent over several war planes in 2006. On May 1, 1996, the Luftwaffe established the German Air Force Tactical Training Center in with United States Air Force at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, which provides aircrew training in the F-4 Phantom fighter planes. It has also established tactical training centers at Canadian Air Forces Command Base at Goose Bay.
