At the initial level when air supply is enable to later techs that improve it? My friend is asking since it could be very helpful in case you get troops caught off or doing some massive air drops?

Air drops can supply several divisions adequately, but after that, it gets less and less efficient. Yes, techs can increase the efficiency, but it still only works well for small groups of units.

One of my favorite strategies is "airport hopping" with paratroopers, you would be amazed how far you can penetrate into enemy territory by having a few divisions of paratroopers with appropriate transports and transports set aside for supply missions.

Your question is impossible to answer, since with an infinite amount of transport planes, you can supply an infinite amount of divisions.

...

Maybe he's asking how many divisions he can supply per squadron of transports?

[admittedly OP's wording is a little vague, but come on, it should still be pretty obvious what was meant]

Yes, I know. I was going to post how much supplies a transport squadron could transport, but I couldn't find it. :(

I am debating about a strategy using cities as hardpoints with forts, and troops supplied from the air that will allow german usints to pass my russian troops, then counter attacking from my strongpoints to cut off the spearhead units. In some games it would be a fun idea I just dont know if the air supply is efficent enough without building too many transports to do it.

You would need a crapload of Air transports and the Germans would take out your forts pretty quickly.
