I hear this all the time and it’s very subjective - I would argue the second largest is the US Army Aviation Branch - if you count helicopters have a lot more aircraft than the US Navy.
Also the Russian Air Force has more aircraft than the US Navy per most sources. I suspect the internet meme got the Navy and Army Aviation swapped around.
Helicopters are kind of hard to categorize since they are tactically somewhere between aircraft and ground forces. Most helicopters are in support rolls while most airplanes are in combat rolls. Helicopters in combat rolls also get used like they are really fast ground forces.
But yeah, I get what your saying about the subjectivity, and it’s true that my knowledge here is mostly from memes.
NATO has half a million troops. The largest navy and air force in the world. I like their chances
NATO has more troops than that. The united state alone has 2 million.
The largest air force in the world is the US Air Force. The second largest air force in the world is the US Navy.

Both sides have enough nukes to kill the entire human race several times over.
More like hundreds or maybe thousands of times over
Russia is coming up on its half a million cassualties milestone. Would be the perfect time for the NATO half million to step in.
What is this numerology strategy lmao
