This is a current list of aircraft used by militaries of Eurth. Aircraft operators with (†) denote the aircraft is no longer in service. Please use the following ordering system.

  • Organize first by the County of Origin (Eurth) in alphabetical order, if there are multiple countries, the primary country of origin should be used for the ordering.
  • Organize in numerical or alphabetical order for Timeline of Eurth Designation/Variant, in instances where there are both, numerical first and then alphabetical.
  • Organize with the primary user in User Country/Service (i.e., the country of origin's primary service) and follow with a separate row for each different service within that country of origin. For additional users, list a new row for each user in alphabetical order.
  • Try to combine as many rows as possible (e.g, Real World Manufacturer, Timeline of Eurth Manufacturer, Designation/Variant, Role, et cetera) with rowspan="x" where applicable.

For definitions of unmanned aerial vehicles, please consult the below chart. This is an abbreviated list since there are countless definitions of UAVs/UCAVs. For our purposes, a UAV will be considered unarmed while a UCAV will be considered armed.

  • HALE: High-altitude, long endurance UAV flying over 30,000 ft (9,100 m) with endurance exceeding 24 hrs (e.g., RQ-4 Global Hawk).
  • ISTAR: An ISTAR UAV is a UAV that does not fit into either MALE or HALE categories and has a primary purpose of surveillance and reconnaissance. ISR will fall into this category too. The primary difference between ISR and ISTAR is that ISTAR can be used to designate ground targets for strikes while ISR aircraft are primarily for surveillance and reconnaissance only (e.g., Elbit Hermes 450).
  • Loitering Munition: Guided UAV intended to be used as a weapon (e.g., HESA Shahed 136).
  • MALE: Medium-altitude long-endurance UAV capable of flying between 10,000 ft (3,000 m) and 30,000 ft (9,100 m) with endurance exceeding 24 hrs (e.g., Bayraktar TB2).
