Notes
* - After 2002, the Mig-29A Fighter numbers account for Mig-29A fighters and Mig-29UB trainers.
** - The role of Maritime Reconaissance continually shifted between the Air Force and the Navy, and distribution of the remaining P-3F fleet was effectively split between the two services by 2008.
*** - Iran had stated a desire to overhaul their remaining Bell and Agusta-Bell 214 and 206 types to the Shabaviz 2-75 and 206-1 standards. How much production of those indigenous helicopters would affect existing stocks was unclear and the estimated date for completion was unknown as of 2008.
