112 air force fighters - 32 MiG-29A/UB, 48 F-16 C/D Block 52+, 32 Su-22M-4K/UM3K

.....................

Germany

active - 180,000, reserves - 144,000 (!!!)

Their Wiki page doesn’t seem to number the tanks and fighters, that would need more digging I guess

Much of it exists only on paper.

Meanwhile Russia is massively modernizing and upgrading its armed forces.

NATO is a paper tiger.
