However, we did see that the fighters were only targetting the frontmost Galors, and we had a good view of the front of the fleet. Additionally, Dukat's monitors showed only a few Federation blips if I recall. I assume each blip was a squadron. Unless we assume that each blip represented over a hundred fighters, I think its safe to assume that the Federation didn't have any more than a couple hundred total.
Not once in all of Star Trek has the entire Federation fleet been present in a battle, thus, I fail to see how you could make such a hasty conclusion.
I meant that that specific Federation *FLEET* had a couple hundred. My apologies for the typo. I didn't mean the ENTIRE Federation, just that one fleet.

Then the Cardasian attack ships (they are too big to call fighters) break formation and look like they open a hole in the Domininions lines. Of course its a trap, but Sisko has the Galaxy wings pin down the shisp that were set to swing in and close the hole.
Also Sisko comments 'Order fighter squadrons six seven and eight to regroup at-' after they punch through, so we could be looking at 12+ squadrons.
Ah, I forgot about the ninth wave thing. You're right, there was probably several offscreen bits, since it went to commercial in the middle of the fighter attack.
