The Kuwait Air Force operates an active fleet of advanced multirole fighter aircraft, including legacy F/A-18 Hornets and modernized F/A-18E/F Super Hornets acquired through defense agreements with the United States. These supersonic tactical jets form the backbone of the nation's sovereign air defense capabilities, participating regularly in routine pilot training exercises, national airspace defense operations, and joint military drills designed to safeguard regional territorial integrity and maintain operational readiness.
