Qatar Emiri Air Force: Why A Country With Only 315,000 Citizens Has 100 Modern Fighter Jets

The Qatar Emiri Air Force is one of the world’s most remarkable air forces. Over the last decade, it has ballooned to include almost a hundred new advanced 4.5th-generation fighter jets, making it one of the most potent in the region. The contrast with its neighbor Iran’s collection of outdated aircraft couldn’t be greater. Qatar now possesses advanced F-15 Strike Eagles, Rafales, and Typhoon Eurofighters.
