List of NATO reporting names for fighter aircraft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Five Eyes Air Force Interoperability Council (AFIC) assigns[1] codenames for fighters and other military aircraft originating in, or operated by, the air forces of the former Warsaw Pact, including Russia, and the People's Republic of China.

When the system began the names were assigned by the Air Standardization Coordinating Committee (ASCC), made up of the English-speaking allies of the Second World War, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and two non-NATO countries, Australia and New Zealand. The ASCC names were adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense and then NATO. They have also become known as "NATO reporting names". The ASCC became the Five Eyes Air Force Interoperability Council and no longer has responsibility for generating reporting names.
