| The country with the best air force has the best air defense, ground based air-defenses have been proven to be of limited use even against non-stealth aircraft, so I would definetly put the USA at the top, followed by Israel, then the United Kingdom, followed by Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia. It is however extremely important to mention that I am basing this on little knowledge and only about five minutes worth of thinking it over. I put Israel number 2 because their pilots have proven themselves to be the best in the world but unfortunately they lack the numbers of the US and UK, I put the UK third because I think their air force right now is primarily a ground attack/support force, but that is already changing with the Lightning II set to enter service within the next five years, not that I am saying the Lightning II is some uber weapon far superior to what the UK already had, but the addition of a couple hundred aircraft won't hurt them.
