November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national total or combat-readiness measure. Source armament/capacity counts are excluded. Exact own aircraft identifier/declared variant and source employment only; no production total, parent airframe, sibling or another force quantity is borrowed. The own source explicitly declares AU23A Peacemaker; the source current attack/CISR aircraft are distinct from PilatusPC6 transport or other Fairchild models. Historical thirty-four sales/35built are not current holdings.
