Th Air Force, by far.  Navy, ARmy, Marine Corps- in that order.\nEDWARD< you are incorrect.I actually won a bet on this very question with a squid I used to work with.  We actually added  up every fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft by squadron/unit within each branch- the air force won by over 1000.\n\n\nA RANGER BOY- you are wrong as hell-  The air force still has more aircraft including helicopters- and the Army does not have a SINGLE C-130- they are all air force rides for the Army Dogs.  Hmmm, seems like you would know that if you were a (snicker) a Ranger!  HOOAH!  LACK OF INFORMATION LEADS THE WAY

I don't know what people do that either.  If you don't know the answer, don't write something just to get points....this ain't no contest!!!\n\nUS, UK, France, Brazil, Russia, India, Japan.\n\nThe only nations to have used or are using fixed wing aircraft on carriers.\n\nBut I would eliminate Brazil, since they just bought the old French carrier "Foch", they didn't build it themselves.  Ditto the Indians.\n\nSo, that leaves the US, UK, France, Russia as the only current nations to employ carrier based fixed wing aircraft.

Below are some links that describe what AE's do in the U.S. The design type, non-proprietary job functions are the largest segment you can expect to see in India. Past that, look for what parts are made there by Boeing, Airbus, and the Aerospace type companies.\n\nhttp://online.onetcenter.org/link/summar...\nhttp://online.onetcenter.org/link/summar...

India maintains one of the largest armed forces in the world. The troops are well trained and disciplined and they are led by a first rate officer corps. The Indian Army packs a mean punch with its combination of Infantry, Armoured Corps, Artillery, Air Defence Artillery, Mechanized Infantry, Engineers (Sappers) and all the supporting arms and services. The Indian Air Force is also a potent force to reckon with in the region. the IAF has access to the very latest multirole combat aircraft, transport aircraft, helicopters etc. The Indian Navy is also well equipped and comprises of the surface fleet (currently built around the single carrier INS Viraat), the submarine arm and naval aviation. Indian forces have considerable combat experience and have been successfully deployed in foreign lands too. They are well respected as UN Peacekeepers too. Considering all this, India does have the capability and resources to send out an expeditionary force.\nIn terms of recommendations (in context of an expeditionary force) for the future:\n1. The IAF will need to acquire more heavy-lift transport aircraft like the Hercules C-130 or the IL-76 that they currently use. An AWACS is badly needed to take advantage of the new combat aircraft and air-to-air refueling capabilities that they possess.\n2. The Navy needs a second carrier, a beefed up submarine arm and more troop landing craft to carry out amphibious assaults. Naval aviation needs replacements for the ageing Sea Harriers and the Tupolev-142M maritime recce squadron.\n3. The Army will need to convert more regular infantry battalions into mechanized ones and more regular Parachute Regiment battalions into Para (SF) ones. Currently, Army Aviation only has access to light helicopters used for recce purposes and to direct fire. They need helicopter gunships for close support in anti-tank roles. For example, each armoured regiment commander in the US Army has helicopters at his disposal!!! The helicopters are a unit level resource! In the Indian Army, helicopters will probably have to be authorized at Corps level.\nOn the whole, better co-ordination between all three services is higly desirable as Joint Operations is the name of the game.

India's nuclear capability is very negligable when compared to the United States.  They have several dozen low-yield nuclear warheads (less than 100kt).  I don't know where you get your information, but I've seen nothing to indicate that they have ICBM capability, maybe MRBM capability at best.\n\nTo say that their military hardware matches up with that of the US is a bit of a stretch.  They don't have an MBT that compares to the M1A2 just to make a prime example.\n\nLet's not even compare naval forces, because there's simply no comparison.  The USN dominates the world's oceans, and the next 4 navies combined don't have the capabilities of the USN.\n\nTheir air force is fairly good, but still equipped with mostly older Soviet aircraft, such as the Mig-21 and Mig-23.  They do have some newer fighters such as the Mirage 2000, Mig-29, and Su-30, but not in comparable numbers to our F-14,15,16, and 18.  Plus the F-22 is coming into squadron service now, and is far superior to anything the Indians have.\n\nBasically, in a large scale air/sea/land conflict, the US would win.  Not easily, but win nevertheless.

The F-22 beat out the F-23. All the other numbers a prototypes of jets that never got the ok on.
