Air Force exact named TB-21 Trinidad component holdings; active, operational-reserve and training equipment excluding equipment in store, except explicit status exclusions stated below. November 2025 IISS assessment. Named service only, not a national total or combat-readiness measure. Source armament/capacity counts are excluded. Only the exact named TB20/TB21 configuration is counted, not an aggregate of all Socata TB-family variants. The own source explicitly states that TB30 Epsilon is unrelated to the other TB-series aircraft; no TB30, TBM or separate trainer fleet is included.
Reported count for SOCATA TB Family · TB-20. Service scope: Turkish Naval Forces; does not replace a national total. 1 distinct count cell(s) from the same source list; shared rowspan cells counted once. Retired, wholly reserve and on-order rows are excluded; the reported count retains any explicitly mixed stock scope in the quoted row. Count column(s): quantity: 4. Origin: France. The listed variants/roles are the scope, not an immediately deployable count. The components do not establish one inventory census date; the stored date is the retrieved source snapshot.
