The USAF (air force) is the biggest air force in the world, the USN (navy) is second, the Army is in the top ten but number three is Russia.

It's more of an assessment of capability rather than raw size.

For example the air component of the USMC is larger than the UK RAF but the latter is more experienced and capable in long-range power projection.

The IDF/AF is smaller than the Russian air forces but many times more capable.
